<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00260006/06.jpg"" width=""250"" />Supporting system of choral singing</div> Visually impaired persons may find it difficult to take part in a chorus or other singing group because they cannot see the beat indicated by conductor’s hand movements. This paper provides a chorus support system for visually impaired persons using depth image sensor. This consists of an electric music baton with an acceleration sensor, a radio module, haptic interface devices with vibration motors, a depth image sensor, and a PC. The electric music baton transmits the signal indicating the conductor’s motion to visually impaired players based on sensor acceleration. Since the conductor must give individual instruction to player, we use a depth image sensor to indicate the direction in which the conductor’s baton points. This direction is estimated based on the conductor’s posture. We also attempted to develop a chorus support system without using the electric music baton. The beat is obtained by the maximum velocity position of the conductor’s hand motion using a depth image sensor. The effectiveness of our system is clarified by several experimental results. </span>

AbstractIn this paper the design and implementation of a decision support system for diabetes care is examined from an ethical perspective. It is noted that the system creates potential for enhancing the realization of the principle of autonomy through improved information to patients and participation by patients. However, there is also potential for using the system in a way that is contrary to good health care. It may provide patients with information they are unable to interpret and handle, and it may be used by healthcare authorities for controlling their personnel in ways contrary to good quality working conditions. In order for a decision support system to function as a well-integrated element in ethically based health care, different ethical aspects have to be taken into account during the design of the system. The ethical aspects also constitute one perspective of a systematic re-evaluation and re-design process.
