Reduction of Waveform Discontinuity in Respiratory Waveform Measurement using Millimeter-Wave Radar
TANIMOTO Yudai / MATSUURA Keiki / SAITO Keisuke
Human sensing, which measures human movements and vital signs, has become familiar to us with the proliferation of measurement devices and the expansion of related services. Among the various measurement devices, millimeter-wave radar has attracted much attention because it can accurately measure human ...

Clarification for Output Characteristic Causing by Uncontrollable Input Variable Using FEM Analysis and Inverse-Problem Approach
NATSUDA Yosuke
Defects that were not anticipated in the design stage may occur at the prototyping stage. One of the reasons for this is the variability that is difficult to control and observe in the experience. If the output value or its change characteristics are not constant due to the variation, the true mechanism ...

Development of a Method for Estimating the Range of Electrical Disturbances Using Product-scale Simulation and Dynamic Search
FUJITA Koji
Products are required to have robust quality to operate stably against disturbances in various usage environments. To satisfy such requirements, it is necessary to verify operation under a variety of different conditions and to eliminate conditions that cause unstable operation, which is where CAE ...

Realization of Multi-Person Respiratory Rate Measurement using Time-series Clustering with Millimeter-Wave Radar
MATSUURA Keiki / KAWAKAMI Riho / TANIMOTO Yudai / SAITO Keisuke
In various fields, including medical and health management, the demand for vital sensing technology is increasing because of the proliferation of related services. One of them, millimeter-wave radar, is seen as a promising technology that can simultaneously measure the vital signs of multiple people in a noncontact manner with the body. ...

ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Remake Method Guaranteeing Compatibility at the Clock Cycle Level
FURUISHI Norio
In recent years, the domestic semiconductor industry has faced intense competition and supply chain disruptions due to semiconductor shortages. Amid the phaseout of ASIC production using older processes, we have struggled with how to respond when ASIC production is discontinued to maintain product supply to customers. ...

Sensing Technology for Worker Location Adaptable to Various Factory Environments for Measuring Actual Work Time
UJITA Yasuhiro / MORI Mizuki
In recent years, production factories are required to identify the productivity bottlenecks and factors to respond to the diversification of production variety and/or worker turnover. An analysis of bottlenecks requires not only equipment operation data but also work time. However, the method for ...

We look forward to reading these papers.
