Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse (CQUEAN) is an optical CCD camera developed by the Center for the Exploration of the Origin of the Universe (CEOU). In 2010 August, CQUEAN was attached on the 2.1m Otto Struve Telescope at the McDonald Observatory in Texas, USA. As the main purpose of CQUEAN is detecting the Lyman breaks of redshift ~5 quasars, it is sensitive to near-infrared wavelengths (0.7-1.0 ${\mu}m$). For the auto-guiding system, it is using a rotating guide arm to find guide stars on the Cassegrain off-axis focus of the telescope. We plan to upgrade a new filter wheel system consists of a series of narrow band filters. We will install this independent auto-guiding units on the finder scope, which makes rooms on the Cassegrain focal plane of the main telescope. In this presentation we present the system architecture of the CQUEAN Auto-guiding Package (CAP).

This paper proposes a method of user authentication through the patterns of arm movement with a wrist-type wearable device. Using the accelerometer sensor which is built in the device, the 3-axis accelerometer data are collected. Then, the collected data are integrated and the periodic cycle are extracted. In the cycle, the features of frequency are generated with the accelerometer. With the frequency features, 2D Gaussian mixture are modelled. For authenticating an user, the data(the accelerometer) of the user at some point are tested with confidence interval of the Gaussian distribution. The model showed a valuable results for the user authentication with an example, which is average 92% accuracy with 95% confidence interval.

CQUEAN (Camera for Quasars in EArly uNiverse) is an optical CCD camera system which has its own auto-guiding system. Guiding system consists of a 1k*1k CCD camera, FLI PL1001E, a flat mirror to feed the image of an off-axis field to the camera and baffle. The whole system lies on a moving arm which rotates 90 degree effectively to enlarge the field of view. A motor, IMS MDRIVE 34, and a differential decelerator, APEX AD140-050, are used for the moving mechanism. Auto-guiding is controlled by Agdr program. We had a first light from Aug. 10 to Aug 17, 2010 at McDonald Observatory, USA. In this presentation, we describe about the auto-guiding system for CQUEAN and its performance on the 2.1m telescope.

We propose how to program the off-line buffing robot path along shoes' outsole shape in the footwear buffing process by a 5-axis microscribe system like robot mechanism. The microscribe system we developed consists of a 5-axis robot link with a turn table, a signal processing unit, PC and an application software program. Itmakes a robot path on the shoes' upper in accordance with the movement of a microscribe with many joints. The developed system calculates the encoder pulse values for the microscribe arm's rotation and transmits the angle pulse values to the PC through a processing unit. Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) direct kinematics is used to make the global coordinate from microscribe joint one. Problems with the microscribe's kinematics can be solved efficiently and systematically by D-H representation. With the coordinate values calculated by D-H equation, our system can draw a buffing gauge-line on the upper sole. We obtain shoes' outline points, which are 2 outlines coupled with the points and the normal vector based on the points. By applying the system to the buffing robot in a flexible manufacturing system, it can be used effectively to program the path of a real buffing robot.

In order to study the shape and dimensions of heart, a procedure to reconstruct a three dimensional left ventricular geometry from two dimensional echocardiographic images was studied including the coordinate transformation, curve fitting and interpolation utilizing three dimensional position registration arm. Nonlinear material property of the left ventricular myocardium was obtained by finite element method performed on the reconstructed geometry and by optimization techniques which compared the computer predicted 3D deformation with the experimentally determined deformation. Elastic modulus ranged from 3.5g/$cm^2$ at early diastole to l53g/$cm^2$ at around end diastole showing slightly nonlinear relationship between the modulus and the pressure. Afterwards using the obtained nonlinear material propertry the stress distribution related with oxyzen consumption rate was analyzed. The maximum and minimum of ${\sigma}_1$ (max. principal stress) occurred at nodes on the second level intersection points of x-axis with endocardium and with epicardium, respectively. And the tendency of the interventricular septum to be flattened was observed from the compressive ${\sigma}_1$ on the anterior, posterior nodes of left ventricle and from the most significant change of dimension in $D_{RL}$ (septal-lateral dimension of right ventricle).

To fabricate low field magnetic sensors using magnetoresistance(MR) effects, we deposited thin layers of $600{\AA}$ in thickness of Ni-Co(0.7Ni-0.3Co) alloy on slide glasses. In the layers we ordered 4 arms of the fullbridge sensors in the shape of grid structure to be inclined at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to main axis and made the areal rate increase to 67%. While the response characteristics of the fabricated sensors had good linearity in the magnetic field of ${\pm}0.5mT$ ranges, the white noise was 0.2 nV and the voltage sensitivity was 7.6 $nV/{\mu}T$.

This paper proposes command signal generating method for a wearable robot using the force as the input signal. The basic concept of this system pursues the combination of the natural and sophisticated intelligence of human with the powerful motion capability of the robot. We define a task for the command signal generation to operate with the human body simultaneously, paying attention to comfort and ease of wear. In this study, we suggest a basic exoskeleton experimental system to evaluate a HRI(Human Robot Interface), selecting interfaces of arm braces on both wrists and a weight harness on the torso to connect the robot and human. We develop the HRI to provide a command for the robot motion. It connects between the human and the robot with the multi-axis load-cell, and it measures the relative force between the human and the robot. The control system calculates the trajectory of end-effector using this force signal. In this paper, we verify the performance of proposed system through the motion of elbow E/F(Extension/Flexion), the shoulder E/F and the shoulder Ab/Ad (Abduction/Adduction).

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze flick shooting motion in penalty corner between high school players and national players in field hockey. Five high school players and six national players participated in this study. The 3D kinematic data were collected for each subject performing the penalty corner stroke. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The national players had higher stick head and ball velocity than the high school players. 2) The forward length between ball and support foot during ball catching with stick head was longer in the national players than the high school players. 3) At the Z axis of the E5 event, the center of gravity of the national players was lower than that of the high school players. 4) At the Z axis of the E5 event, left hip angle of the national players was lower than that of the high school players. 5) The national players had longer drag length of ball than the high school players. 6) The national players had higher hand and lower arm angular momentum than the high school players.

An intelligent miniature humanoid robot system is designed and implemented as a platform for researching walking algorithm. The robot system consists of a mechanical robot body, a control system, a sensor system, and a human interface system. The robot has 6 dofs per leg, 3 dofs per arm, and 2 dofs for a neck, so it has total of 20 dofs to have dexterous motion capability. For the control system, a supervisory controller runs on a remote host computer to plan high level robot actions based on the vision sensor data, a main controller implemented with a DSP chip generates walking trajectories for the robot to perform the commanded action, and an auxiliary controller implemented with an FPGA chip controls 20 actuators. The robot has three types of sensors. A two-axis acceleration sensor and eight force sensing resistors for acquiring information on walking status of the robot, and a color CCD camera for acquiring information on the surroundings. As an example of an intelligent robot action, some experiments on playing soccer are performed.
