This paper proposes a new recognition algorithm for shockable arrhythmias for patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. In this paper, by using gabor wavelet transform (GWT), useful and effective spectrum features for electrocardiogram (ECG) are extracted. The proposed recognition algorithm based on spectrum features can achieve good performance comparing with the existing results, i.e. the result of this paper is useful.

The effectiveness of applying genetic algorithms to combinatorial optimization has been widely demonstrated using many types of benchmark problems, such as the traveling salesman problems and job-shop scheduling problems. We want to optimize strategies for advertising in newspapers sold in Japan. Our problem is to select appropriate newspapers and find the correct frequency of advertising for a product in order to maximize the level of advertising to which the target audience is exposed, within the constraint of a limited total budget. Advertising problems are typically so large and complex that conventional optimization techniques, such as hill-climbing, cannot find sufficiently cost-effective solutions. We show that a genetic algorithm (GA) approach works well for this type of problem. In addition, we demonstrate, through computer simulations, that an extended GA, called the operon-GA, finds better solutions much faster than a simple GA.

We present a 35 DOF full-body humanoid is designed to be a testbed to integrate research tools for humanoid full-body behaviors. Each limb has 6 DOF. The neck has 3 DOF. Each hand has 4 DOF. The key idea of the system architecture is the remote-brained approach. This paper describes the design concept and the details of the system and introduces experiments to stand up using table for support and to perform action selection in reaching and grasping an object based on vision.

Time and Frequency (T/F) transfer systems using space links developed at the Radio Research Laboratories (RRL) are described. The domestic T/F transfer system uses the Japanese communication satellite: CS-2/broadcasting satellite BS-2 and the Global Positioning System (GPS) in addition to the ordinary links of ground TV and Loran-C The Asian area transfer system makes use of the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) and a Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) as well as Loran-C Other systems for international T/F transfers depend on the space techniques of the GPS and the, VLBI. Spread-spectrum equipments for T/F transfers have recently been built to realize both precision and accuracy of about 1 ns via the CS link, together with a 1-m mobile antenna station. Receivers have been developed at RRL to be used routinely for the GPS and GMS T/F transfers on a daily basis with a precision of 10 ns or more and an accuracy of less than 100 ns. T/F transfer experiments using a VLBI system developed at RRL have been conducted on a routine basis about once a month with the U.S. Naval Observatory since April of 1985. The present goal of accuracy is 10 ns with 10-min or longer observations.
