An object growth control system and method are provided. The object growth control system includes a weighting unit, a growth state analyzer, and an object operation controller. The weighting unit detects external environments and a user's state, loads weights on predetermined user emotional states, predetermined object growth tendencies, and predetermined object emotional states according to the result of detection and the user's tendency, and outputs the results of loading of the weights as state data. The growth state analyzer applies a predetermined statistical model to the state data input for a predetermined period to analyze the user's tendency and outputs a degree of education on the object with respect to the user's tendency based on the state data to which the predetermined statistical model has been applied. The object operation controller applies a predetermined rule-based or statistical model to the state data and the degree of education to generate a control signal for controlling the operation of the object.

Disclosed is an emotion recognition apparatus and method thereof which enables perception of a user's emotional state by monitoring one or more of his or her physiological signals. The emotion recognition apparatus comprises a feature analyzer adapted to analyze features of the physiological signals acquired from a user and generate feature values, a subtractor adapted to obtain differences between the feature values generated by the feature analyzer and feature values used as a standard to perceive an emotional state of the user, and an emotion classifier adapted to analyze the differences obtained by the subtractor and classify an emotion into a plurality of emotional categories so as to perceive an emotional category exhibiting the greatest intensity to be the emotional state of the user.

A method and apparatus for measuring the biological condition of an animal by acquiring and analyzing its biological signals are provided. The biological signals from skin temperature, a photoplenthysmogram (PPG), an electrocardiogram (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), an electromyogram (EMG), and an electrogastrogram (EGG) are detected using a biological signal detection unit which is attached to the animal's skin. Feature vectors, including the mean heart rate of the photoplenthysmogram and its standard deviation, the very low frequency, low frequency, and high frequency components of heart rate variability, the frequency and mean amplitude of skin conductance responses, and the mean and maximum skin temperatures, are extracted from the detected biological signals. The biological condition, including needs and emotions, of the animal as to whether or not the animal feels hunger or fear, how much the animal is stressed, or whether or not the animal needs to have a bowel movement, is determined using a pattern classifier which has learned reference vectors, which reflect the behaviors, needs, and emotions of different kinds of animals for various biological conditions and are stored in a predetermined database. Therefore, the biological condition of the animal can be determined through instrumental communication, not through human languages, and the breeding of pets can be efficiently managed.

A heating roller including a resistive heating layer and a fusing device including the heating roller. By separately disposing a plurality of electrodes in an axis direction of the heating roller, and by independently controlling each electrode, the heating roller may correspond to various papers having different sizes. Accordingly, the temperature of the heating roller may be stably controlled.

A developing unit of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes at least one developing apparatus installed to be capable of accessing and being separated with respect to a photoreceptive drum and including a developing roller developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptive drum and a gap maintenance member closely contacting the photoreceptive drum such that the developing roller accesses the photoreceptive drum in a non-contact state while maintaining a predetermined gap with the photoreceptive drum, and a guide portion formed on a frame to guide a movement of the developing apparatus. An inclined portion facing a center shaft of the photoreceptive drum is provided at a leading end of the guide portion so that the gap maintenance member closely contacts the photoreceptive drum while pressing the photoreceptive drum in a radial direction of the photoreceptive drum.

A roller cleaning apparatus of a liquid electrophotographic printer cleans a circumferential surface of a roller where a film is formed due to contact with a photoreceptor medium. The apparatus includes an abrasion member installed to be in contact with the roller for abrading the film using friction. Thus, contamination of the roller can be prevented.
