This paper proposes a novel method to efficiently develop GUI based control software for a legged mobile robot. Although GUI is convenient it is a very burden to both a computer and its developer. In case of the mobile robot, these problems are more serious. The proposed method solves these problems by separating GUI from control software. An implementation based upon the proposed method demonstrates its effectiveness.

This paper proposes a novel computer human interface, named Virtual Wireless Microphone (VWM), which utilizes computer vision and signal processing. It integrates real-time face tracking and sound signal processing. VWM is intended to be used as a speech signal input method for human computer interaction, especially for autonomous intelligent agent that interacts with humans like as digital secretary. Utilizing VWM, the agent can clearly listen human master's voice remotely as if a wireless microphone was put just in front of the master.

In this paper the authors propose a model about interaction of inner modules of autonomous robot which is possible to team walking action without external and explicit supervisor signal. A main feature of the model is that completed and fixed module for estimating robot's motion parameter by utilizing binocular parallax can be a supervisor for the module to team the walking action.

If a mobile robot can be controlled remotely via the internet using wireless IP protocol network, it becomes much useful and convenient. However risk of illegal access is also increased. This paper discusses problems of the illegal access and proposes protection methods against the access.

Foveated vision has the big advantage of exhibiting a wide field of view, along with a high resolution fovea. However, in the case of using optical flow, foveated vision kas one demerit. The demerit is a concentrate of optical flow. For foveated vision, an object moves almost only around the center of the field. In this paper, we suggest how to segment motion of some objects, and how to discriminate a hand and another object. In the future, the method we suggested may be useful for recognizing human actions by foveated vision.

This paper presents a new ZCS-PWM high frequency inverter. Zero current switching operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. Dual duty cycle control scheme is used to provide a wide range of high frequency AC output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It found that a complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing high-frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. The proposed high frequency inverter is more suitable for consumer induction heating(IH) applications. The operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.

The nonlinear signals from an impedance meter for the area average void fraction in two-phase flow have been analyzed to construct a phase space trajectory. The pseudo phase space was constructed with the time delay and proper dimensions. The time delay and the embedding dimension were chosen by the average mutual information and by the false nearest neighborhood, respectively. The attractor-density-map of projected states was used to produce the two dimensional probability distribution functions (2D-PDF). Since the developed 2D-PDF showed clear distinction of the flow patterns, the flow regime identification was made with three rules and with the 2D-PDF. Also, the transition criteria of Mishima-Ishii agree well with the present results.

The method of removing micro-plastics from sea water has been developed using electro-magnetic force. Plastics are difficult to decompose and put a great load on the marine environment. Especially a plastic with a size of 5 mm or less is defined as micro-plastic and are carried by ocean currents over long distances, causing global pollution. These are not easily decomposed in the natural environment. The Lorentz force was generated in simulated sea water and its reaction force was applied to the micro-plastic to control their motion. Lorentz force was generated downward and the reaction force to the plastics was upward. The plastic used in the experiment was polystyrene with a diameter of 6 mm, and the density was 1.07 g/cm³. The polystyrene sphere levitated at the current density of 0.83 A/cm² and the external field of 0.87T. The particle trajectory calculation was also made to design separation system using superconducting magnet.

The rates of solvolysis of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl chlorides[I] in a variety of solvents were measured by an electroconductometric method. LArSR relationships (Yukawa-Tsuno eq.)were found to give a linear plot, log(k/ko)=-1.84[σo+0.918(σ+-σo)], in 80% aqueous ethanol. Small |ρ| and r values in comparison with 1-aryl-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl tosylate(ρ=-6.09, r=1.59) suggested that the carbocationic charge in the transition state was dispersed by a strong p-π donor, p-methoxy group. Linear mY plots with m 0.90 for all of the substituents in aqueous acetone and m=0.60-0.82 for those of aqueous ethanol indicate that this solvolysis proceeds via an SN1 mechanism with nucleophilic solvent assistance. Thiourea effects and isokinetic temperatures for the rate of solvolysis also can prove the above mechanism.

We have been developing a new magnetic filter so that small sized paramagnetic substances can be separated even in a low magnetic field (lower than 2T). The developed filter is a packed ferromagnetic filament with a triangular cross section. The filament has a diameter of 120 ㎛ and a length of 3 mm, and is mechanically packed with a volume ratio of 17.6%. Using this filter, a magnetic separation experiment of hematite was carried out using a superconducting magnet at the field of 2T. Similarly, magnetic separation was performed using a conventional magnetic filter. It became clear that the separation efficiency of newly developed filter is high as that of conventional mesh filter. The smaller sized hematite (<3 ㎛) could be separated though conventional mesh filter could not separate.
