    There are two approaches in emotion-technology to make clear the projection of emotion technologically, and to apply the quantified data of emotion to desgin problem. Our concern is to treat the latter approach, especialy, to make scaling of psychological room-atmosphere.

    The performances in rising ramp of wheelchair users were investigated at 8 various slopes, and the relation between gradients and functional capacities in wheelchair operation were discussed. The subjects, 8 males and 2 females who are in training at National Rehabilitation Center for Physically Impaired, were instructed to rise slopes with wheelchair at maximum effort. The mean time taken to rise slope became prominently longer with steepness, especially above 10% of slope. The rising of front caster and the stepping backward did not appear until 5% and the number of these phenomena increased remarkably above 10%. In regard to subjective manifestation of hard feeling to rising slope, 6 subjects felt a little hard at 7%. Recovery of heart rate was observed a slight prolongation above 10%. The time ratio of mascular activity above 400μV level of surface electromyogram of deltoides showed three different trends. It is suggested that performance of wheelchair operation is affected considerably above 7-8.5% slope, and a slope of up to 1/8 (12.5%) which is set in Architectural Standard in Japan may be steep slope for the group of these subjects.

    This study was tried to investigate “the single channel hypothesis” as the mechanism of the PRP phenomena in reaction time. Smith (1969) proposed that the single channel mechanism was attributed to the limiting information processing capacity of “response-selection” process of central information processing in human central nervous system.
    Davis' results (1967) was useful to suggest Smith's idea, but his procedure in experiment was criticized in introducing uncontrolled “expectancy” factor in subjects.
    Therefore, controlling “expectancy” factor, this experiment was performed. The results was similar to that of Davis' experiment (1967). It was concluded that the single channel mechanism was attributed the limiting information processing capacity of either “recognition (perception)” process or “response-selection” process at least.

    This paper is a study on a pattern recognition model of continuous picture information by the visual perception.
    A man does imagnize a picture when who can gets continuous picture information from a continuous picture. And, the man does recognize a picture when who can characterize continuous picture information.
    This paper discusses decomposition, entropy and fuzzy entropy about picture information spaces and characteristic spaces. Furthermore, experiment of charactization.
