As aging society problem goes severe In not only Japan but also the whole world, more and more attentions are attracted to the social and welfare fields. Many researches on science and technology for elders are implemented in rencent years. With the background, there are a lot of needs for techonologies with novel features for improvement. In this paper, a control method with attractive features for the actuator of Ultrasonic Motors (USMs) is introduced. In medical and welfare areas, the USMs are expected to play more important roles owing to their special characteristics. In this research, an intelligent PID control method using Neural Network (NN) combined with type Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is developed for the control of USM. In the method, the intelligent controller is designed based on variable gain type PID control using NN. The learning of the NN unit is implemented by the PSO. The gains of PID control are adjusted by the proposed method in real-time. The effectiveness of the method is verified by experimental results.

To provide a better user experience, we have to consider type of device and place. It means that the contents should have capabilities to be converted into several types. In this paper, we suggest a scheme to provide still-cut images from the moving images without user's or contents provider's effort. We also show you how to adapt the scheme to the web through demonstration.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) Is a data analysis method and it outputs a concept structure called a concept lattice. One of the problems of FCA is that the size of a concept lattice becomes far larger as data become larger. Various methods for reducing a concept lattice have been proposed, but they have disadvantage, e.g. reduced one is not a lattice. In this paper, we propose a method for reduction using attribute inference based on an approximate implication. We also evaluated some methods regarding that a reduced lattice has noise.

The semi-supervised kernel logistic regression (SSKLR), developed for the classification of human behaviors from sensor data, takes the form of a linear combination of kernel functions associated with each of the labeled and unlabeled data from the training set. Its model parameters are determined, using an EM algorithm, by maximizing the expectation of the joint distribution over the posterior for selected unlabeled data that are in a neighborhood of one of labeled data. Tests for two types of human behaviors such as (1) "walk," and "skip," and (2) "drink a cup of tea," and "wash a cup" reveal that, using acceleration data as input, SSKLR classifies the behaviors better than semi-supervised Gaussian mixture and semi-supervised support vector machine models.

Digital home is a popular technology. Various applications are provided, such as home surveillance and power saving. Users can subscribe desired applications and execute them on mobile gateways or home gateways. However, there are no exiting technologies that can automatically activate/migrate/discover applications among gateways. This paper proposes an application management scheme, which manages the application by considering their utility and cost basing on the information in their provided profiles. Applications can be activated/deactivated and transferred under different conditions, and the management and execution cost can be reduced. The results of the elaboration show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the manual control overhead and the energy consumption.

Miniaturization of computation, thanks to Moore's Law, goes to every object including those that we wear and stand around us. This trend is facilitated by the introduction of general purpose modules that extend the community of designers to include unskilled creatives. Printed Electronics, using organic materials instead of silicon, makes it possible to create edible, disposable and perishable IoT devices. 3D Printing can embed electronic materials into any bearing structure, transforming dumb objects into digitally alive ones through Structural Electronics. The spread of smart devices fosters the development of super batteries, energy harvesting and wireless transfer. In this work these trends towards a disappearing electronics are described and analyzed.

In this paper, we propose a low complexity depth video compression approach for the Microsoft Kinect device. In this framework, the depth image is transformed through divisive normalized bilateral filter (DNBL) and through padding in order to remove failure in the depth map. Furthermore, in order to reduce the computational complexity, in the filtering process, we employ blocks partition, where each non-overlapped block uses a different window size based on the detected edge information. The reformed depth map is then fed into the H.264/AVC encoder. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce the computational complexity while maintaining the performance.

This study proposes a story creation approach for developing a sensor/home network application. In this approach, a device on a network is regarded as a character in a story. In this respect, the device's state and action is defined by the description of the character with a natural language corresponding to an ECA rule. Transmitting messages among the devices are dealt as conversation among the characters. This paper will show the detailed concept and an actual application development environment using this approach. The result of the experiment, in which 18 children and six adults were involved, showed the usefulness of the approach.

We have developed Flying Cloud Server, which is a drone equipped with a wireless LAN base station and web server. With this system, even in situations in which the electric power infrastructure and/or wireless network have been collapsed due to large-scale disaster, smart phone users will be able to share information and movies of an affected area with others via smart phones. In this study, we have checked a range of connectivity of Flying Cloud Server such as wireless LAN distance and concurrent connection user numbers. Then, we confirmed its effectiveness concerning to sharing information in a disaster situation.
