Method, Design, and Evaluation of an Exoskeleton for Lifting a Load In Situ by Xin Li, Weihao Li, Qiang Li

“…In this design, the hydraulic cylinder for shoulder assistance, the motor for elbow assistance, and the spring for lower limb assistance were calculated and selected according to the motion and torque of each joint. Finally, subjective and objective methods were used to evaluate the exoskeleton based on the results of five test participants, and the median oxygen consumption of the whole test by lifting a load ten times with the assistance was found to be reduced by 9.45% as compared with that in the absence of the exoskeleton.…”

Regional heat and social attribute aware participant selection mechanis in mobile crowd sensing by Luoyong XIANG, Wen CHEN, Luyang ZHANG

“…Aiming at the problem of tasks that are low reliability acquired by platform and difficult to accomplish on time in user sparse area.A participant selection mechanism that combines regional heat and social attribute aware was proposed.Firstly,considering the influence of different regional heat on task completion,the regional heat was evaluated according to the number of active users,the average residence time of users and the completion of historical task.Secondly,in order to analyze the impact of user social attributes on task completion,the user willingness,reputation and activity were calculated by combining the status information of users and the historical task record of users.Finally,by taking the above factors into account,two different mechanisms of participant selection for social attribute perception were designed for high and low heat areas to maximize quality and number oftask completionrespectively.The results show that the proposed mechanism can significantly improve the overall data quality,and can also perform sensing tasks in sparse areas on time.Meanwhile,compared with SUR and GGA-I,the failure rate is reduced by 66.7% and 50.6% respectively.…”

Anonymous security authentication scheme using elliptic curve cryptography and hash function in mobile network by Yuehui CHEN, Miao HUANG

“…In order to prevent personal data from being lacked and improve the existing mobile network roaming anonymous authentication scheme,anonymous security authentication scheme using elliptic curve cryptography and hash functions in mobile network was proposed.With elliptic curve cryptography and hash functions,random numbers were used to replace public key encryption and time stamp.Firstly,before using the roaming services of a foreign agent（FA）,hash function was calculated.A host agent（HA）was used by mobile user to register.Then,authentication and session key were set up with elliptic curve encryption.If HA is always in FA,MU can update the session key with FA.Finally,through a common channel,MU could utilize HA to change their passwords.The analysis of the performance and safety shows that,compared with other similar programs,the proposed scheme has significantly improved efficiency and safety.And the virtual computing time is only 2.000 85 seconds,which sharply reduces the cost of computing.…”
