Loop-list scheduling for heterogeneous functional units

Yun-Nan Chang Ching‐Yi Wang Keshab K. Parhi

This paper presents a new heuristic, concurrent, iterative loop-based scheduling and allocation algorithm for high-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) architectures using heterogeneous functional units. In a heterogeneous architecture, functional units could be either bit-serial or digit-serial or bit-parallel. We assume a library of heterogeneous implementation style based functional units is available. Experiments show that this new heuristic synthesis approach generates optimal and near-optimal area solutions. Although optimum synthesis of such architectures were proposed recently using an integer linear programming (ILP) model, our method can produce similar solutions in one to two orders of magnitude less time, at the expense of sacrificing the cost optimality. We compare the solutions generated by the proposed algorithm with the optimal solutions generated by the ILP approach and other recent techniques. We have incorporated this new algorithm into the Minnesota ARchitecture Synthesis (MARS-II) system.

Hand Dominance and Grip Strength of Older Asian Adults

Perceptual and Motor Skills (2010)

Ching‐Yi Wang

Hand dominance in a group of Asian adults 60 to 89 years old was examined. Participants were independently living in the community; free of pain, injury, and disease of the upper limbs; and had no restrictions on use of upper extremities in daily activities. The grip strengths of both hands were measured with a Jamar hand dynamometer. Analysis showed that being male, of younger age, and using the dominant hand were significantly associated with stronger grip than being female, of older age, and using the nondominant hand. The dominant to nondominant grip ratio varies from 1.05 to 1.10 across age–sex subgroups.

Hand tool handle size and shape determination based on hand measurements using a contour gauge

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries (2020)

Ching‐Yi Wang Dengchuan Cai

Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a novel approach to tool handle design and development based on measurements of hand shape using a contour gauge. In general, traditional design techniques, designing based on anthropometric data, and derived mathematical models do not incorporate enough subject data to design a customized product. First, anthropometric measurements on the right hand of 60 participants were collected with a contour gauge to manufacture matching handles. A curved handle fitting the human hand was constructed with common computer‐aided design software, and cylindrical handles and elliptical handles were added for comparison. All of the handles were used to record the participants' grip force to evaluate the operating efficiency of the handles. Finally, the participants completed a comfort‐rating questionnaire. The results show that contours based on the hand provided the highest operating performance and the best overall comfort‐rating compared to cylindrical handles and elliptical cylindrical handles. The newly developed handles in the grip force tasks have the highest push performance and the best comfort ratings compared to traditional cylindrical and elliptical handles. The developed handles could provide the hand tool industry information on developing and manufacturing many other similar handle designs (such as those for saws and electric screwdrivers).

A hierarchical categorisation of tasks in mobility disability

Disability and Rehabilitation (2010)

Hui‐Ya Chen Ching‐Yi Wang Ming‐Yung Lee Pei‐Fang Tang Yu‐Hsiu Chu

In the field of long-term care, disability usually refers to difficulties in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) or basic activities of daily living (BADL); this term may also refer to difficulties in mobility for those more interested in preventive intervention or general health promotion. The aims of this study were to (1) categorise a complete set of mobility tasks according to a revealed hierarchy, and (2) examine the relationship between this mobility hierarchy and IADL/BADL disabilities.We categorised nine mobility tasks according to appearance order in self-reported difficulties data obtained from a Taiwanese national database of community-dwelling elders aged over 65. We also performed correlation tests to explore the relationships of these mobility tasks with six tasks each of IADL and BADL.The results revealed a three-level hierarchy of mobility disability: (1) mild disability indicated by difficulties in four mobility tasks, which correlated with difficulty in one IADL task; (2) moderate disability indicated by difficulties in three mobility tasks, which correlated with difficulties in most IADL tasks; and (3) severe disability indicated by difficulties in two mobility tasks, which correlated with difficulties in all BADL tasks. The same hierarchy was observed for males and females.There is a clear hierarchical structure of mobility disability that correlates differently with IADL and BADL disabilities. These results suggest that different mobility tasks should be included in disability assessments to suit specific purposes.

Gait Speed Measure: The Effect of Different Measuring Distances and the Inclusion and Exclusion of Acceleration and Deceleration

Perceptual and Motor Skills (2012)

Ching‐Yi Wang Yi-Huang Lin Tou-Rong Chen Mei-Hui Liu Yueh‐Chi Chen

The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of different distances and the inclusion and exclusion of acceleration and deceleration distances on the measurement of self-paced and fastest gait speeds in younger and older adults. The self-paced and fastest gait speeds of younger and older adults were measured over 4-m and 10-m walkways with the acceleration and deceleration distances included and excluded in the measuring distance. The results indicated gait speeds (both self-paced and fastest) measured over different distances were comparable only if a distance for acceleration and deceleration was excluded from the measuring distance to obtain stable and comparable gait speeds. Similar results were found for younger and older groups.

The enhancement of appetite through the use of colored light in case of a cake: Preliminary evidence from event‐related potentials

Color Research & Application (2020)

Ching‐Yi Wang

Abstract Appetites are strongly affected by the color of the food and it has been found that different colors can affect the brain reflexes that impact the appetite. In this study, event‐related potential was used as a measurement tool to detect brain wave responses to assess foods under different colors of light, and to compare the appetite performance of participants. The food samples were captured under incandescent lights and colored lights (red and green lights under 5200 K). The incandescent lights were divided into the differential color temperature (2700, 4000, 6500 and 7500 K). Seventeen participants were invited to the experiment. The event‐related potential results showed that the warm incandescent light (4000 K) significantly increased appetite. Moreover, the red light enhances the late positive component amplitude and enhances the consumer's visual attraction and impression. The conclusions showed that the color of lighting can affect consumers' emotions, behaviors, psychology, and even appetite, and preliminary scientific evidence has been obtained from event‐related potential.

FIM Motor Scores for Classifying Community Discharge After Inpatient Rehabilitation for Hip Fracture

PM&R (2013)

Ching‐Yi Wang James E. Graham Amol Karmarkar Timothy Reistetter Elizabeth J. Protas

To assess the utility of functional status in classifying patients by discharge setting after inpatient rehabilitation for hip fracture.Retrospective cohort study.A total of 1257 inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the United States.Medicare beneficiaries (N = 117,168) receiving inpatient rehabilitation for hip fracture from 2007 to 2009.Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses to assess the overall discriminatory ability of functional status scores (Functional Independence Measure [FIM] total, FIM cognition, and FIM motor) and to identify the functioning threshold that best differentiates patients by discharge setting.Discharge setting (community versus institutional).Approximately 68% of patients were discharged to the community after inpatient rehabilitation for hip fracture. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicate that discharge FIM motor ratings (area under the curve: 0.84) alone are as effective as a multivariable model (area under the curve: 0.85), including sociodemographic and clinical factors, in discriminating patients discharged to the community from those discharged to an institution. A discharge FIM motor rating of 58 yielded the best balance in sensitivity and specificity for classifying patients by discharge setting.Discharge FIM motor ratings demonstrated good discriminatory ability for classifying discharge setting. An FIM motor rating of 58 may serve as a clinical tool to guide treatment plans and/or as additional information in complex discharge planning decisions for patients with hip fracture.
