For rapid analysis and development of phantom, an approximation model is needed. In this paper, we proposed newly developed homogenous human arm model which consists of single material. Input impedance characteristics of the homogenous model were compared with that of conventional model which has a multilayered cylindrical structure. As a result, it was found that the input impedance characteristics obtained from two models were well consistent at 10 MHz. On the other hand, it was found that transmission characteristics and electric fields around the model were different in each model.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128635255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a battery is often charged and discharged, battery lifespan is also reduced due to cycle deterioration. The Dual Mode battery introduced in this paper provides Runtime mode and Lifespan mode for laptop PCs to balance the battery runtime and lifespan. A battery is charged by a higher charging voltage in Runtime mode to get the longer battery runtime, while the battery is charged by a lower charging voltage in Lifespan mode to get the longer battery lifespan. This paper discusses automatic mode switching between Runtime mode and Lifespan mode by monitoring battery usage, and proposes the algorithm to get both the long battery runtime and the longer battery lifespan. This paper also shows that how battery lifespan is increased by the proposed algorithm based on the user tests conducted over 1 year.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133981163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introducing a feedback control technique to the controller improves the QoS compared with conventional controllers. Simulation results confirm the proposed controller provides better performance than a conventional controller in terms of power consumption and average queuing delay.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122082646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, human tracking and identification within and between cameras' views is required in surveillance systems. For this type of simple surveillance system, we propose a human tracking and identification method for within and between cameras' views by using soft biometric information.

In traditional exemplar-based image inpainting method, it is possible that the number of known pixels in target patch is too small according to the shape of missing region or known pixels of target patch does not contain meaningful features of adjacent known region. In either case, target patch cannot provide enough information to distinguish correct patch in search region that includes wrong candidate patches with different color or texture. Since missing region shape or known pixel values in target patch is not fully adjustable, we propose the method to provide search region with more consistent color or texture to given target patch. The proposed method partitions input image and generate region index map to selectively limit the search region for given target patch. This approach improves the performance of patch searching and provides more correct inpainting result compared to traditional exemplar-based inpainting method.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124062197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
