This paper deals with a design and implementation of a new approach to the extraction of fetal electrocardiography (fECG) signal by hybrid method combining independent component analysis (ICA) and adaptive algorithm based on recursive optimal adaptation (Recursive Least Square, RLS). The abdominal and direct fetal electrocardiogram database (ADFECGDB) was selected for the validation based on estimation of detection accuracy (ACC) relative to the reference signal recorded by means of fetal scalp electrode. The paper provides the tests of the RLS-based filter order setting in the range of 2 to 100 as well as optimization of the input channel combination to achieve the most accurate detection. In total, 11 electrode combinations were created out of 4 abdominal channels, and tested as the inputs of the ICA-RLS hybrid method. The results show that the method is very promising. The highest score was achieved for recording r0l ACC = 99.228 % with combination of input channels 1, 2, and 3 along with the RLS algorithm filter order 4.

Lower-limb exoskeletons have shown great potential to assist human locomotion. However, effective methods for modulating aspects of gait behavior beyond reducing metabolic effort, such as stride time and gait kinematics, are still needed, especially for individuals with impaired gait. Using the Samsung GEMS-H exoskeleton, we studied the effect on healthy gait behavior of applying hip stiffness during overground walking. We found that applying positive stiffness did not affect stride time, but it did reduce hip range of motion. We also found that applying negative stiffness increased both stride time and hip range of motion. Additional analyses showed that the effect of applied hip stiffness on hip range of motion during overground walking was similar to that observed during treadmill walking. The effect of positive stiffness on stride time was similar during overground and treadmill walking, but the increase in stride time in response to the application of negative stiffness was greater during treadmill walking than in overground walking. Lastly, we found no evidence to indicate that neural adaptation or learning occurred when hip stiffness was applied. These results suggest that applying joint stiffness may be a promising approach to restoring healthy gait kinematics.

This paper presents a novel procedure to detect the most frequent faults in inverter-fed induction motors, i.e. stator short circuits and bearing defects, even in case of simultaneous presence. The procedure is based only on the analysis in the frequency domain of electromagnetic signals (one-phase stator current and stray flux around the motor), by evaluating in the experimental measurements the amplitude of the harmonic components at characteristic fault frequencies. A methodology based on high sampling frequency and filtering process allowed to distinguish not only the presence of single and multiple faults, but also the progression of these faults, from an early stage to a more serious condition.

We trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to suppress off-axis scattering in the short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) domain. Our training data were point target responses from simulated anechoic cysts. We used random neural architecture search to build CNN models with variable input formulations, layer sizes, and training hyperparameters. Our results showed that CNNs were easier to train, as they required fewer network weights to match the performance of fully-connected networks (FCNs). The best CNN models achieved comparable phantom CNRs with two to three orders of magnitude fewer weights.
