Subjects were instructed to sit the board with their arms crossed and without leaning back for 60 seconds. Angular variation in the anterior-posterior and left-right direction as well as body pressure distribution of left and right side including contact area, maximum force, peak pressure, and mean pressure were assessed while sitting. Also, intra class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the reliability of the system using COP sway path and area. Tilting angle increased in anterior and right direction. All parameters of pressure distribution data showed an inclination to increase the right side. COP sway path and area did not differ significantly between tests and ICC value was excellent. This paper suggest that system for measurement of postural bias in sitting can be utilized not only to check bad sitting posture but also provide useful information about patients with idiopathic scoliosis in rehabilitation medicine. Also, results from this study can be used to evaluate the difference postural balance between normal and patient group for developing new clinical quantitative measurement system.","PeriodicalId":415263,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2013)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125099978","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}

The oceanic operation of aircraft has more difficult environment than the one on the ground due to salty, fogy, and windy condition. Especially the gust and the vortex around the structures on the ship make the approach of aircraft difficult. The movement of ship board in roll, pitch, and heave by wind and sea wave also makes the landing of aircraft severe. Tilt rotor UAV developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) basically aimed to be operated on the ground and to be expanded to an oceanic operation. The simulation environment of UAV to evaluate a various flight condition also considers to be applied to the oceanic operation. In this paper, the sea state conditions according to amplitude of sea wave and wind velocity was investigated and the mathematical description of sea state through sea wave modeling was conducted. In the condition of each sea state modeled with sea wave and wind, the shipboard landing of tilt rotor UAV was evaluated in simulation environment.","PeriodicalId":415263,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2013)","volume":"410 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123414117","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}

This has often obstructed the user's muscles during physical rehabilitation. Moreover, mechanisms designed for excessive force generation are heavy and rigid structures with little compliance and thus are not suitable for many mobile applications. Here, we present a novel biomimetic flexible solenoid-coil artificial muscle (FSAM) fibre with inherent mechanical compliance, a high pulling stroke, and structural flexibility that suit a lightweight wearable exoskeletal robot for rehabilitation use. FSAM consists of a chain of specially designed bobbins of solenoid coils that can slide against each other. The chain allows FSAM to form an arch shape when the coils are energized; this is reminiscent of a natural muscle that bends a joint by a combined contraction of the muscle length and bending in an arch shape. This strategy of bending a joint not only reduces the need for linear contraction but also allows the exoskeletal to be compliant with the contraction morphology of natural muscle.","PeriodicalId":415263,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2013)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125661201","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}

To this end, we present a model capable of translating the orientation data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU), rigidly fixed to the surgical instrument, to the camera coordinate system. The model works by calculating the fixed rotation matrix between the IMU and the surgical instrument. Here, we use the direction of gravity measured using the IMU and surgical instrument coordinates in the algorithm for calculating the rotation matrix between the different coordinates. We then compare the orientation data of surgical instruments obtained from the IMU and a vision-based navigation system.","PeriodicalId":415263,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2013)","volume":"1 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126600829","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}

The proposed method reduces the total energy consumption of information technology (IT) equipment and cooling facilities in the data center, while considering a relationship between energy-savings and the temperature information of IT equipment. This method based on MPC controls the central processing unit (CPU) temperature in servers by facility fans for cooling. To design the proposed method, it is developed a prediction model that represents the CPU temperature by the revolution speed of facility fans, the fresh-air temperature, utilization of servers, and other factors. Furthermore, the proposed control method is applied to the actual modular data center. The energy consumption of the proposed method is compared with that of a traditional method, which has controlled the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the server racks based on proportional integral (PI) control. Actual comparison experiments with traditional method are provided to validate effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method realizes energy-savings of more than 20% compared to the traditional control method in the actual modular datacenter.","PeriodicalId":415263,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2013)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122893673","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}
