Operating Instruction method based on emg for omnidirectional wheelchair robot
Soft Computing, 2017Co-Authors: Yoichiro Maeda, Shoji IshibashiAbstract:In this research we propose a method to perform the Operating Instruction of omnidirectional wheelchair using electromyogram (EMG) of operator's forearm and fuzzy reasoning. By using EMG, the operator is able to move his/her head freely and EMG has few noises included in than the electroencephalogram (EEG). By using fuzzy reasoning, the intention of the operator is able to be transmitted to the robot by comprehensive estimating. To evaluate the performance of this system, we performed the moving experiment using electromyograph or gaze measurement device, and we confirme that the operator could perform the Operating Instruction of wheelchair according to his/her Instructions by EMG.

Potential and Limits of IoT for Hazardous Job in Process Industries
Chemical engineering transactions, 2018Co-Authors: Paolo Bragatto, Francesco Failla, Luca Faramondi, Grazia Gnoni MariaAbstract:In process industries, including refineries, petrochemical plants, air fractioning plants, Oil and gas depots, there are many hazards for workers (both for employees and contractors). Occupational Hazards include thermal extremes, high concentration of toxic or flammable gas and low concentration of oxygen. These hazards are usually controlled by means of procedures, Operating Instruction, gas sensors, alarms, personal and collective protection equipment. Whilst a few hazards are well known and localized inside the plants, for instance the classified confined spaces or the classified ATEX areas, in other cases, hazards are associated to a high uncertainty, hence, it’s difficult to find a trade-off between the precautionary safety requirements and the work practicality and easiness. The worker, moreover, must be protected, when the hazard is present but cannot be overwhelmed by heavy protection or oversize solution. The potential of IoT enabling technologies, including smart sensoring and human-machine communication, have a huge potential for reducing the uncertainties in hazard detection and promoting a more dynamic approach. The main idea is the adoption of a solution based on wearable and fixed sensors used to dynamically monitoring the environments in order to provide, in real time, information about situation context in order to help the workers to better estimate the actual level of risk. The use of IoT poses new problems, including web security, privacy, workers’ union acceptance. The implementation of IoT solution requires a special attention to these details, in order to avoid defeats in innovation projects. The paper illustrates the preliminary results developed inside the INAIL Bric project SmartBench related to the use of IoT and RFID beacons to provide information in real time about the equipment, the environment and the worker’s physical condition.

Smart battery module
Chinese Journal of Power Sources, 2002Co-Authors: Huang ZhengAbstract:The general concept of smart battery is reviewed and the constructing principle and Operating Instruction of smart battery module are introduced as well as the state of art of development of smart battery. Assembling smart battery module into battery manufacture is favorable to improve the status of battery industry, such as low technical content, low production value, etc. The assembly is especially propitious to the batteries for large current application because the data of charge, operation and failure can be understood intuitionally.

Anticoagulant therapy in acute lung injury: a useful tool without proper Operating Instruction?
Critical care (London England), 2008Co-Authors: Sebastian Rehberg, Perenlei Enkhbaatar, Daniel L. TraberAbstract:Activation of the coagulation cascade resulting in alveolar fibrin deposition is recognized as a hallmark of acute lung injury (ALI). Anticoagulant treatment with recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC) appears promising, because – like in sepsis – there is a deficiency of protein C in ALI, which is correlated with poor outcome in both syndromes. Recently in Critical Care, Waerhaug and colleagues confirmed the beneficial effects of rhAPC on pulmonary function in ovine endotoxin-induced ALI. Notably, the authors reported no differences in hemorrhage in histologic analyses between rhAPC-treated and untreated animals. However, a recently reported randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in ALI patients without severe sepsis failed to identify any differences in the number of ventilator-free days or 60 day-mortality between the rhAPC and placebo group. In addition to (or perhaps because of) the complex pathogenesis, the discrepancy between clinical and experimental results in ALI is another common feature with sepsis. The future challenge will be to transfer our theoretical knowledge adequately into daily clinical practice. Anticoagulant therapy might be a useful tool in the treatment of ALI; however the proper Operating Instruction remains to be defined.
