In the paper a problem of estimation of target position in a modern DSP-based radar system is considered. the processes of target detection and estimation are separated. Raw radar data supplied to the detection block are buffered in large RAM memory and then partially post-processed by the estimation block in areas nearby detected targets. Such an approach allows for more elaborate estimation algorithms than using joint detection and estimation. We have adopted curve-fitting procedures for both azimuth and range estimation. Simulation results prove good performance even for smallsignal to noise ratios.

this paper describes a highly adaptive video motion detection and tracking algorithm that has been developed as part of Sandia's Advanced Exterior Sensor (AES) program. the AES detection and tracking algorithm provides good performance under stressing data and environmental conditions. Features of the algorithm include the following: reliable detection with negligible false alarm rate of variable velocity targets having low signal-to-clutter ratios;reliable tracking of targetsthat show motion that is non-inertial;automatic adaptation to both infrared and visible imagery with variable quality;and suppression of false alarms caused by sensor flaws or cutouts, or both.

With recent improvements in synchrotron sources and x‐ray optics great pressures have been placed on detector systems to produce higher count rates and better resolutions. Present high performance 13 element germanium detector systems can give reasonable count rates with good resolution (~104–105 kHz per channel and ~250 eV FWHM at Fe55 with 0.5 μs shaping time). However, these systems are restricted by limitations in boththe detector and in the analog pulse processing after the detector. With respect to the detector, increasing the number of channels without degrading the energy resolution is a great challenge due to increased crosstalk and capacitance. the analog pulse processing electronics are significantly limited by the dead time introduced by the shaping amplifier. this dead time causes pulse pileup at higher rates which leads to nonlinearity and poor resolution. this paper describes the XSPRESS system which has been developed at Daresbury Laboratory for the new Wiggler II beamline 16. this system overcomes previous limits in bothsignalprocessing and detector fabrication to give great improvements in system performance. the signalprocessing electronics departs from standard analog processing techniques and employs sophisticated adaptive digital signalprocessing hardware to reduce the dead time associated with each event to a minimum. this VME based technology allows us to vastly increase the count rate for each channel yet still retain the ability to gain very good resolution. the detector has been developed through a collaborative agreement with EG&G ORTEC and packs an unprecedented 30 germanium crystals into an extremely small area while still retaining the energy resolution of smaller arrays. this system has increased the throughput rate by an order of magnitude per channel and when all channels are implemented, an increase of at least two orders of magnitude for the whole array should be seen. data have been taken using this system on the SRS at Dare

Multichannel instrumentation for the recording of bioelectric events with a high quality should have an isolated section of small dimensions withsignal transfer by a low capacitance transmission technique like an optical fiber link. A/D conversion in the isolated section simplifies signal transmission. In such designs it is beneficial to use one A/D converter per channel. the disadvantages of increased power consumption and cost can be expected to become less significant.

this paper presents a fractal interpolation compression method for ECG's. the method represents any range of ECG signal by fractal interpolation parameters. the variable range size technique is employed in order to reduce the reconstruction error. small ranges are used for encoding rapidly varying parts of ECG to preserve the signal quality. the suggested algorithm was evaluated using MIT/BIH database. A high compression ratio is achieved with a relatively low percent rms difference (PRD).

Measuring the electromechanical delay (EMD) in muscles requires onset detection of motor responses, which mostly is done by interactive cursor setting or by simple algorithms using amplitude thresholds. For best accuracy of experimental EMD results, highly sophisticated onset detection methods seem desirable which allow to discover smallest changes in the observed signal. Here, the authors demonstrates that upgrading the signal evaluation method can lead to "erroneous" results, if the performance of the experimental setup does not match that of the signalprocessing tool. Using high resolution data acquisition and evaluation methods, the authors found motor responses with a very small (or even negative) EMD in a distal (hand) muscle but these proved to originate from fast contractions of proximal (arm and shoulder) muscles. their forces cannot be totally blocked by the wrist fixation due to the elastic skin tissue and, therefore, add to those of the slower hand muscle "reducing" their EMD artificially.< >

Summary form only given as follows: the author deals withthe importance of analyzing impedance spectroscopy small-signal frequency-response data in ways which are appropriate to yield increased understanding of the underlying physico-chemical processes associated withthe data and/or its use for process control and testing. Proper analysis requires complex nonlinear least squares fitting with appropriate weighting, and a well-developed computer program for such fitting is described. the value and power of such analysis is illustrated along with some of its problems. New analysis methods and interpretations are discussed which involve: (a) alternatives to Kronig-Kramers integral transformation; (b) new fitting models appropriate for solid materials; (c) ways of separating and understanding concomitant conduction-relaxation and dielectric-dispersion contributions to the overall response; and (d) estimation of distributions of relaxation times and barrier heights.< >
