These days computer analysis of ECG (Electrocardiograms) signals is common. There are many real-time QRS recognition algorithms; one of these algorithms is Pan-Tompkins Algorithm. Which the Pan-Tompkins Algorithm can detect QRS complexes of ECG signals. The proposed algorithm is analysed the data stream of the heartbeat based on the digital analysis of the amplitude, the bandwidth, and the slope. In addition to that, the stress algorithm compares whether the current heartbeat is similar or different to the last heartbeat after detecting the ECG signals. This algorithm determines the stress detection for the patient on the real-time. In order to implement the new algorithm with higher performance, the parallel programming language CUDA is used. The algorithm determines stress at the same time by determining the RR interval. The algorithm uses a different function as beat detector and a beat classifier of stress.
Die Seewassernutzung weist ein beachtliches Potential zu Kühl- und Heizzwecken auf. Bereits seit längerem eingesetzte seewasserbetriebene Wärmepumpen in der Schweiz beweisen fortwährend ihre Praxistauglichkeit. In Deutschland wird diese Technik jedoch bislang kaum genutzt. Mit Hilfe eines interdisziplinären geowissenschaftlichen Ansatzes wird derzeit das bestehende Potential in Deutschland quantifiziert und dessen Nutzungshemmnisse identifiziert, um in einem weiteren Schritt Handlungsoptionen für einen verstärkten Einsatz dieser Technologie zu erarbeiten.
Realistic traffic modeling plays a key role in efficient Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) which is considered as enabler for the employment of wireless technologies in critical industrial automation applications (IAA). The majority of models of spectrum usage are not suitable for this specific use case as they are based on measurement campaigns conducted in urban or controlled laboratory environments. In this work we present a time-domain traffic model for industrial communication in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, medical (ISM) band based on measurements in an industrial automotive production site. As DSA is usually implemented on Software Defined Radios (SDR), our measurement campaign is based on SDR platforms rather than sophisticated spectrum analyzers. We show through the estimation of the Hurst parameter that industrial wireless traffic possesses inherent self-similarity that could be exploited for efficient DSA. We also show that wireless traffic could be modeled as a semi-Markov model with channel on and off durations Log-normally and Pareto distributed, respectively. We finally estimate the parameters of the derived models using Maximum Likelihood estimation.
Cognitive radio (CR) is a key enabler of wireless in industrial applications especially for those with strict quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. The cornerstone of CR is spectrum occupancy prediction that enables agile and proactive spectrum access and efficient utilization of spectral resources. Hidden Markov Models (HMM) provide powerful and flexible tools for statistical spectrum prediction. In this paper we introduce a HMM-based spectrum prediction algorithm for industrial applications that accurately predicts multiple slots in the future. Traditional HMM prediction approaches use two hidden states enabling the prediction of only one step ahead in the future. This one step is most often not enough due to internal hardware delays that render it outdated. We show in this work that extending the number of hidden states and formulating the prediction problem as a maximum likelihood (ML) classification approach enables a prediction span of multiple slots in the future even with fine spectrum sensing resolution. We verify the suitability of our approach to industrial wireless through extensive simulations that utilize a realistic measurement-based traffic model specifically tailored for industrial automotive settings.
Increasing robustness of handwriting recognition using character N-Gram decoding on large lexica
(2016)
Offline handwriting recognition systems often include a decoding step, that is retrieving the most likely character sequence from the underlying machine learning algorithm. Decoding is sensitive to ranges of weakly predicted characters, caused e.g. by obstructions in the scanned document. We present a new algorithm for robust decoding of handwriting recognizer outputs using character n-grams. Multidimensional hierarchical subsampling artificial neural networks with Long-Short-Term-Memory cells have been successfully applied to offline handwriting recognition. Output activations from such networks, trained with Connectionist Temporal Classification, can be decoded with several different algorithms in order to retrieve the most likely literal string that it represents. We present a new algorithm for decoding the network output while restricting the possible strings to a large lexicon. The index used for this work is an n-gram index with tri-grams used for experimental comparisons. N-grams are extracted from the network output using a backtracking algorithm and each n-gram assigned a mean probability. The decoding result is obtained by intersecting the n-gram hit lists while calculating the total probability for each matched lexicon entry. We conclude with an experimental comparison of different decoding algorithms on a large lexicon.
Recent years have seen the proposal of several different gradient-based optimization methods for training artificial neural networks. Traditional methods include steepest descent with momentum, newer methods are based on per-parameter learning rates and some approximate Newton-step updates. This work contains the result of several experiments comparing different optimization methods. The experiments were targeted at offline handwriting recognition using hierarchical subsampling networks with recurrent LSTM layers. We present an overview of the used optimization methods, the results that were achieved and a discussion of why the methods lead to different results.
The magneto-mechanical behavior of magnetic shape memory (MSM) materials has been investigated by means of different simulation and modeling approaches by several research groups. The target of this paper is to simulate actuators driven by MSM alloys and to understand the MSM element behavior during actuation, which shall lead to an increased performance of the actuator. It is shown that internal and external stresses should be taken into consideration using numerical computation tools for magnetic fields in an efficient way.
So is About Urbanity
(2016)
Südstadt Tübingen is a successful military land redevelopment project, in which functional mix and urban diversity have been identified as main goals. In the whole development process, joint building venture has been utilized as important urban development instrument. On one hand, this instrument helps citizens development adaptive and affordable living space and let them find own identity to the new quarter; on the other hand, it is also important to cultivate urban diversity and suitable spatial feeling, mix relationship in living and working conditions, so that the quarters will have very flexible structure to accommodate diversified urban life styles.
