Modern, based on biomedical signals interfaces have become recently very complex, however the complexity does not always lead to increased functionality or usability. In particular, when it comes to handicapped users, the currently available solutions are far from satisfactory. In this paper an innovative approach for biomedical signals based interfaced with the implementation of an inexpensive gaming headset Emotiv EPOC was presented. The main goal was to design, and develop an intuitive and user-friendly interface based on implementation of various biomedical signals such as EEG or EMG. The project was primarily intended for handicapped users as a replacement for traditional interfaces such as keyboard or mouse, however its potential use was extended. The proposed system differs from the already existing interfaces mainly because of its versatility to work with various biomedical signals, thus enabling a single interface to be controlled with different devices. Initial investigation has proven that Emotiv EPOC headset could be applied as an inexpensive, easily available on the open market tool for Human-computer Interaction (HCI) systems for the gaming purpose.

Urea selective catalytic reduction (urea-SCR) process control is very important for exhaust gas aftertreatment in diesel engines. A control system tracking ammonia coverage ratio is designed to achieve high NO x conversion efficiency and low ammonia slip for urea-SCR process in this paper. The control system consists of a nonlinear feedforward controller based on flatness and a PI feedback controller to deal with the uncertainties and disturbance. Furthermore, a tuning method of controller parameters is presented based on randomized algorithms. Finally, the simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Using the fact that continuous piecewise affine systems can be written as special inverse optimization models, we present necessary optimality conditions for constrained optimal control problems for hybrid dynamical systems. The modeling approach is based on the fact that piecewise affine functions can be written as the difference of two convex functions and has been described in previous publications. The inverse optimization model resulting from this approach can be replaced by its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions to yield a linear complementarity model. An optimal control problem for this model class is an instance of a mathematical program with complementarity constraints for which classical Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions may not hold. Exploiting the regularity properties of the inverse optimization model, we show why for the class of control problems under consideration this is not the case and the classical optimality conditions also characterize optimal input trajectories.
In this paper, we put forth distributed algorithms for solving loosely coupled unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. Such problems are usually solved using algorithms that are based on a combination of ...

In this paper, the inverse optimal control approach is applied to stabilization in probability of unknown linear networked control system (NCS) in presence of random delays and packet losses. The proposed control scheme is based on Kalman filter parameter estimation to solve the infinite horizon regulator problem for NCS with stochastic system matrices, and avoids to solve the associated stochastic Riccati equation (SRE);additionally a cost functional is minimized. The stabilizing optimal controller is based on a discrete-time stochastic control Lyapunov function.

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and associated Markov modulated time series are widely used for estimation and control in e.g. robotics, econometrics and bioinformatics. In this paper, we modify and extend a recently proposed approach in the machine learning literature that uses the method of moments and a Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NNMF) to estimate the parameters of an HMM. In general, the method aims to solve a constrained non-convex optimization problem. In this paper, it is shown that if the observation probabilities of the HMM are known, then estimating the transition probabilities reduces to a convex optimization problem. Three recursive algorithms are proposed for estimating the transition probabilities of the underlying Markov chain, one of which employs a generalization of the Pythagorean trigonometric identity to recast the problem into a non-constrained optimization problem. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate how these algorithms can track slowly time-varying transition probabilities.

This paper proposes the impedance matching circuit which keeps input impedance constant by using boost converter and resonant rectifier. In the simulation, the results confirmed characteristic of this circuit and achieved high power factor such as almost 1.0. The proposed circuit is able to reduce total harmonics distortion (THD) by 13%. Experimental result shows that input power factor is almost 1.0. The THD reduces 71.3% compared with simulation result of diode rectifier.

Personalized medicine is defined as "a model of healthcare that is predictive, personalized, preventive,and participator" and has very broad content. With the rapid development of high-throughput technologies, an explosive accumulation of biological information is collected from multiple layers of biological processes, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabonomics, and interactomics(omics). Implementing integrative analysis of these multiple omics data is the best way of deriving systematical and comprehensive views of living organisms, achieving better understanding of disease mechanisms, and finding operable personalized health treatments. With the help of computational methods, research in the field of biology and biomedicine has gained tremendous benefits over the past few decades. In the new era of personalized medicine, we will rely more on the assistance of computational analysis. In this paper, we briefly review the generation of multiple omics and their basic characteristics. And then the challenges and opportunities for computational analysis are discussed and some state-of-art analysis methods that were recently proposed by peers for integrative analysis of multiple omics data are reviewed. We foresee that further integrated omics data platform and computational tools would help to translate the biological knowledge to clinical usage and accelerate development of personalized medicine.
