Abstract: A method for enabling rehabilitation at home for a user to regain a physical ability by means of an apparatus for physical use collects user information of a user. A virtual object is created based on the user information. The virtual object representing the user is displayed on a displaying mechanism. The virtual object is trained to move and perform rehabilitation actions. Actions and movements performed by the user are collected while the rehabilitation actions are displayed. The copycat actions of the user are compared with the rehabilitation actions and the user is assisted to correctly copy the rehabilitation actions based on the comparison. The user can undergo physiotherapy at home without a physiotherapist being present. A VR rehabilitation system and a VR rehabilitation apparatus applying the method are also provided in addition to the physical apparatus.

Abstract: A massage control method includes obtaining three-dimensional parameter data of a user, determining acupuncture points, a position of a first part, and a position of a second part of the user according to the three-dimensional parameter data, adjusting a position of a massage device according to the three-dimensional parameter data so that the position of the massage device corresponds to the three-dimensional parameter data, and aligning at least one massage component of the massage device with the acupuncture points according to the positions of the first part and the second part of the user.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting flames are provided. The flame detection method based on image processing techniques performs the following steps to detecting flames. It first finds one or more bright objects in the images that are captured from videos. A flickering state of a bright object is then determined. To verify the existence of a flame, additionally subsequent images from the instant that a bright object first appears are utilized and the similar steps are applied to them. Finally a flame could be detected if the analyzed results are positive after the aforementioned steps have been performed.

Abstract: A smoke detecting method and system are provided. The smoke detecting method and system capture a plurality of images; determine whether a moving object exists in the plurality of images; select the images having the moving object to be analyzed; analyze whether the moving object is moving toward a specific direction and a displacement of a base point of the moving object; and determine the moving object as a smoke when the moving object is moving toward the specific direction and the displacement is less than a threshold value.

Abstract: A flame detecting method and device are provided to improve the accuracy of flame detection and reduce the possibilities of the false fire alarm. The flame detecting method and device capture a plurality of images of a monitored area; determines whether a moving area image exists in the plurality of images; analyzes at least one of a color model and a flickering frequency of the moving area image to generate a first analyzed result and compares the first analyzed result with a feature of a reference flame image; analyzes at least one of a variation of a location and an area of the moving area image to generate a second analyzed result and compares the second analyzed result with a predetermined threshold; and determines whether the moving area image is a flame image based on results of the comparing steps.

Abstract: A new three-stage cold trap configuration is provided that allows for significantly improved cold trap efficiency and reduced Preventive Maintenance of the cold trap. The cold trap of the invention is provided with three stages that are used for the removal of impurities from processing gasses after they have been released from a processing chamber. The spaces between the three plates of the cold trap are not the same while the angle under which the gas impacts the plates differs from conventional cold trap designs. The three plates of the cold trap are furthermore adjustable, making the design of the cold trap of the invention flexible and readily applicable to a range of cold trap requirements.
