This paper deals with the robot system of recognizing human's expression from a detected human's face and then showing human's emotion. A face detection method is as follows. First, change RGB color space to CIElab color space. Second, extract skin candidate territory. Third, detect a face through facial geometrical interrelation by face filter. Then, the position of eyes, a nose and a mouth which are used as the preliminary data of expression, he uses eyebrows, eyes and a mouth. In this paper, the change of eyebrows and are sent to a robot through serial communication. Then the robot operates a motor that is installed and shows human's expression. Experimental results on 10 Persons show 78.15% accuracy.

The objective of this study was to analyze the pattern recognition of volatile compounds from different types of milk under LED (Light Emitting Dioxide) irradiation for 6 d. Yellow, red, blue, dark, and fluorescent light were produced using LED equipment. A mass spectrometry-based electronic nose and DFA (discriminant function analysis) were used to determine the change in volatiles from different types of milk under LED irradiation. As the LED exposure time was increased, DF1 of whole milk changed considerably under blue light, while that of skim milk changed significantly under red and yellow light irradiation. Among the types of milk tested, the most light-induced oxidation sample was LTLT milk under blue light. The volatile compounds that were shown to increase due to LED treatment in the electronic nose analysis, which was based on MS, were mainly acetaldehyde, propanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, nonanal, 3-methyl butanal, 2-methyl propanal, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, and 2-heptanaone and 2-nonanone.

Objectives. Regenerative treatment using stem cells may serve as treatment option for empty nose syndrome (ENS), which is caused by the lack of turbinate tissue and deranged nervous system in the nasal cavity. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in the treatment of ENS. Methods. In this prospective observational clinical study, we enrolled 10 ENS patients who volunteered to undergo treatment of ENS through the injection of autologous SVF. Data, including demographic data, pre- and postoperative Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-25 (SNOT-25) scores, overall patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications, were prospectively collected. Nasal secretion was assessed using the polyurethane foam absorption method, and the levels of biological markers were analyzed in both ENS group and control group using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The SVF extracted from abdominal fat was diluted and injected into both inferior turbinates. Results. Among the 10 initial patients, one was excluded from the study. Subjective satisfaction was rated as "much improved" in two and "no change" in seven. Among the improved patients, the mean preinjection SNOT-25 score was 55.0 and the score at 6 months after injection was 19.5. However, the average SNOT-25 score of nine participants at 6 months after injection (mean${\pm}$standard deviation, $62.4{\pm}35.8$) did not differ significantly from the baseline SNOT-25 score ($70.1{\pm}24.7$, P>0.05, respectively). Among the various inflammatory markers assessed, the levels of interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$, IL-8, and calcitonin gene-related peptide were significantly higher in ENS patients. Compared with preinjection secretion level, the nasal secretions from SVF-treated patients showed decreased expressions of $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-8 after injection. Conclusion. Although SVF treatment appears to decrease the inflammatory cytokine levels in the nasal mucosa, a single SVF injection was not effective in terms of symptom improvement and patient satisfaction. Further trials are needed to identify a more practical and useful regenerative treatment modality for patients with ENS.

Magnesium alloy has low formability at room temperature and therefore, in many cases, forming at elevated temperatures is necessary to obtain the required material flow without failure. Tn the present study, square cup deep drawing tests using the magnesium alloy AE31 sheet were experimentally conducted using the porches and dies with different edge radius to evaluate the formability sensitivity to the die design variables. The experimental results showed that the fracture position over the cup wall moved from the punch nose to the flange as the die temperature increased, and that the drawing depth change was more affected by the punch radius than the die radius.

In this Paper, we propose the neural network based emotion recognition method for intelligently recognizing the human's emotion using CCD color image. To do this, we first acquire the color image from the CCD camera, and then propose the method for recognizing the expression to be represented the structural correlation of man's feature Points(eyebrows, eye, nose, mouse) It is central technology that the Process of extract, separate and recognize correct data in the image. for representation is expressed by structural corelation of human's feature Points In the Proposed method, human's emotion is divided into four emotion (surprise, anger, happiness, sadness). Had separated complexion area using color-difference of color space by method that have separated background and human's face toughly to change such as external illumination in this paper. For this, we propose an algorithm to extract four feature Points from the face image acquired by the color CCD camera and find normalization face picture and some feature vectors from those. And then we apply back-prapagation algorithm to the secondary feature vector. Finally, we show the Practical application possibility of the proposed method.

The Eigen analysis in large power system provides much useful information that is not got in nose curve. The branch participation factor is not quantitative information and is an indirect method calculating incremental change in branch reactive loss. But the Eigen sensitivity analysis to each mode is direct and provides of quantitative information but this method because of needing much time is used in large power system. In this paper the Hessenberg method is used to obtaining dominant eignvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of Jacobian matrix. Ranking the critical contingencies is done by computing the Eigen sensitivity of each dominant eignvalues for changes of each line. The proposed algorithm is tested on the New England 30-bus system and KEPCO system in the year of 2000, which comprises of 791-bus and 2500-branches.

A development of surface acoustic wave gas sensor to detecting volatile gas has been observed by monitoring output signal as function of time onto the network analyzer. The SAW sensor with a center frequency of 200MHz was fabricated on $42^{\circ}$ S-T Quartz substrates. Using the gas chromatography column has been selectivity. Experimental results, which show the phase change of output signal under the absorption of volatile gas onto sensors, were presented. The proposed sensor has the properties of high sensitivity compare to the conventional SAW gas sensor and chemical selectivity. Thus, it is thought these results are applicable for use in sensor array of an high performance electronic nose system.

The simultaneous surgical correction of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity has become a more common surgical technique that has greatly changed conventional strategies for secondary nasal correction. Mulliken has been known as one of the earliest proponents for the synchronous repair of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity, and he emphasized the responsibility of the treating surgeon to evaluate nasolabial growth by comparing anthropometric measurements with age-matched normal patients. Good outcomes from this surgical method have been reported in clinical cases worldwide. Herein, we describe the management of two cases of bilateral cleft repair, following the principles and methods established by Mulliken. We also provide a relevant review of the literature.
