    Maturity Evaluation Model of Higher Education Quality Management Based on OBE Concept of Teaching Operation State Monitoring System

    In order to realize the quantitative management of higher education quality, an evaluation method of higher education quality management maturity based on OBE concept is proposed. Construct a phase space distribution structure model of higher education quality management maturity, establish a parameter set of higher education quality management maturity distribution index, adopt OBE concept to construct a fuzzy association rule distribution set, extract association regularity features, classify multi-dimensional attribute features, conduct data partition scheduling in the fuzzy clustering center according to the differences of statistical features, construct a feature decomposition model, and reorganize the ontology structure of higher education quality management maturity. The binary structure characteristics are reconstructed in the virtual database, and fuzzy clustering is carried out under the OBE concept according to the reconstruction results, so as to realize the optimal evaluation of the maturity of higher education quality management. The experimental simulation results show that this method has good feature clustering and high reliability in evaluating the maturity of higher education quality management.

    Design of Fruit-Carrying Monitoring System for Monorail Transporter in Mountain Orchard

    The real-time monitoring and detection of the fruit carrying for monorail transporter in the mountain orchard are significant for the transporter scheduling and safety. In this paper, we present a fruit carrying monitoring system, including the pan-tilt camera platform, AI edge computing platform, improved detection algorithm and the web client. The system used a pan-tilt camera to capture images of the truck body of the monorail transporter, realizing monitoring of fruit carrying. Besides, we present an improved fruit carrying detection algorithm based on YOLOv5s, taking the “basket”, “orange” and “fullbasket” as the object. We introduced the improved attention mechanism E-CBAM (Efficient-Convolutional Block Attention Module) based on CBAM, into the C3 module in the neck network of YOLOv5s. Focal loss was introduced to improve the classification and confidence loss to improve detection accuracy; to deploy the model on the embedded platform better, we compressed the model through the EagleEye pruning algorithm to reduce the parameters and improve the detection speed. The experiment was performed on the custom fruit-carrying datasets, the mAP was 91.5%, which was 9.6%, 9.9% and 12.0% higher than that of Faster-RCNN, RetinaNet-Res50 and YOLOv3-tiny, respectively, and detection speed at Jetson Nano was 72ms/img. The monitoring system and detection algorithm proposed in the paper can provide technical support for the safe transportation of monorail transporter and scheduling transportation equipment more efficiently.

    INITIAL STUDY ON A HOME-BASED FLOOR-MAT SYSTEM FOR FALL PREVENTION OF ELDERLY BASED ON GAIT ANALYSIS

    Falls can have a fatal effect on elderly, and fall-related injuries are increasing dramatically with age. Studies on risk of fall show that falls are often caused by changes in gait characteristics. Early detections by visiting clinic or hospital contribute to the prevention of falls. However, most of the elderly are not willing to visit clinics or hospitals for health screening. Thus, it will be useful if unobtrusive health screenings were to be brought to their home. Design guidelines for the home-based floor-mat include easy setup, simplicity, low cost, and less intervention of daily life are explained and highlighted. With the proposed daily monitoring system, the changes in gait characteristics, hardly distinguishable by the naked-eye, can be noticed. The reliability of the home-system was also verified with a comparison to Gaitrite. Finally, modeling experiments shows the effectiveness of the monitoring system. In conclusion, a home-based floor-mat system is able to provide daily non-intrusive monitoring.

    Design and validation of a handheld capnography device for cardiopulmonary assessment based on the Arduino platform

    The design of a handheld capnography device is in great demand because of its effective and practical uses in all cardiac arrest resuscitations, according to the recommendation of the American Heart Association. Herein, a handheld capnography device that can be used in clinical settings and the home environment is reported. The proposed device was developed by using an infrared CO2 sensor, Arduino Mega2560, and a high-resolution display (2.8”). Furthermore, two rechargeable batteries (7.6V, 0.99A) and a secure digital card with a capacity of 16GB were incorporated to increase the portability and usability of the device. Algorithms were implemented to measure standard features, namely, inspired CO2 (ICO2), end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), and respiratory rate (RR). The features of 15 healthy subjects were recorded by using the developed prototype and the standard capnography device (CapnostreamTM20 Model CS08798). Validation was performed with Bland–Altman plots. Findings revealed that mean differences ± standard deviations for the set limits of ICO2, EtCO2 and RR were 0.29 ± 1.30 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), 0.15 ± 1.77 mmHg and 0.40 ± 0.97 breaths per minute (bpm), respectively. Most of the differences among device measurements across all features fell within the 95% limits of agreement. Thus, the developed device may help manage respiratory distress conditions in and outside of a hospital setting.

    An OMIS-based Approach to Monitoring Distributed Java Applications

    Recently, the demand in tool support (performance analyzers, debuggers etc.) for efficient Java programming considerably increases. A universal, open interface between tools and a monitoring system, On-line Monitoring Interface Specification (OMIS), and the OMIS compliant monitoring system (OCM) enable to specify such a Java oriented monitoring infrastructure which allows for an extensible range of functionality intended for supporting various kinds of tools. The paper presents an approach to building a monitoring system which underlies this infrastructure, i.e. the issues of architecture, request processing, event handling, and processing RMI calls.
