Authors: Zhou Xiaozhou , Bai Ruidong , Jin Yu , Xiao Weiye , Xue Chengqi
Published: April 2022

Based on the multidimensional visual perception of materials, the Kansei engineering method was employed to investigate the multidimensional perceptual strategy and the basis of aesthetic perception of materials. Solid wood and metal, common materials in interior environments that are closely related to health care, were used as material samples. The study was conducted on an online, self-developed collection, selecting more than 300 participants among designers and consumers with a mixed ratio of males to females to participate in the experiments. The first study screened out eight dimensions of material perception by visual semantic differences, selecting 80 metal materials and 14 solid wood materials for multidimensional perception tests. According to the test results, 12 metal materials and six solid wood materials were assigned systematically to 72 dual-material products to calculate the perceptual distance of each dimension among these materials. The results demonstrate that people have similar perception clue strategies in most perception dimensions between different materials. Regarding products with multiple materials, the perception of the materials on the main display surface has a more powerful influence on the overall product perception. The harmonious combination of materials will enhance health care in daily life. This article provides a possible cognitive clue on materials. The experimental results provide reference for medical product design.

Authors: Huang Liang , Zhan Zhengyu , Lai Hua , Lee Hyung-Hyo
Published: April 2022

The current privacy protection scheme of medical electronic health records ignores the security of role interaction, which leads to low security of medical electronic health record data and a long time for data encryption and decryption. This paper proposes a privacy protection method of medical electronic health records based on blockchain and asymmetric encryption. This paper uses blockchain technology and asymmetric encryption algorithm to establish an electronic health record system model, selects the alliance chain to control the permissions of alliance members, constructs the corresponding sub key, uses shared users for information interaction, obtains the file key through verification (so as to decrypt the data and obtain the shared data plain text), and realizes medical electronic health through the privacy and protection scheme process of health records. Experimental results show that the data security of the proposed method is as high as 92 %, and the encryption and decryption time is only 0.45 s, which can effectively improve the data security and shorten the data encryption and decryption time.

The growth of an industry is mostly based on the quality of the product. When there is a fault in the manufactured product in a batch, the entire batch is rejected because of a single faulty product. Quality has become one of the important factors deciding the growth of the industry. Industries nowadays are being automated in every phase of the manufacturing process. Here, an automated system is developed for the inspection of the product developed for the automobile industry. The bearing is one of the parts that play a major role in the connections with the engine and the shafts. Therefore, the bearing has to be perfect, as faulty bearings will lead to greater damage regardless of others. In the automated system, the bearing is inspected for the missing operations in the product. The faulty product is rejected and would be checked for rework or to be scraped. The inspected products are then being sent for the packing process. Through the automated inspection system, the production rate of the product can be increased, also increasing the reputation of the industry. The objective of the present work is to develop a machine vision system for quality inspection of bearing efficiency. The LabVIEW-based approach is carried out for the implementation in current research work.
