According to the latest research results presented in the literature changes in propagating waves are one of the most promising parameters for damage identification algorithms. Numerous publications describe methods of damage identification based on the analysis of signals reflected from damage. They also include complicated signal processing techniques. Such methods work well for damage localisation, but it is rather difficult to use them in order to estimate the size of damage. It is natural that propagating wave reflects from any structural discontinuity. The bigger the disturbance the bigger part of a propagating wave reflects from it. The amount of energy reflected and transmitted through any discontinuity can expressed as reflection and transmission coefficients. In the literature different application for these coefficients may be found - the most often cited application is connected with localising changes in the geometry of structures. Changes in the coefficients due to cross section variations in rods and beams or due to existence of stiffeners in plates are well documented. However there are no application of using the reflection and transmission coefficients for damage size identification. For this reason the analysis presented in this paper has been carried out. The article presents a method of damage identification in 1D elements based on the wave propagation phenomenon and changes in reflection and transmission coefficients. The changes in transmission and reflection coefficients for waves propagating in isotropic rods with different types of damage have been analysed. The rods have been modelled with the elementary, two and three mode theories or rods. For numerical modelling the Spectral Finite Element Method has been used. Several examples are given in the paper.

Alcohol, drugs and consequent serious attention decrease and aggression of human operators is one of the most common causes of accidents in traffic. Measure this situations are very dangerous and in real traffic. The paper describes objective methods used for detection of driving impairment caused by influence of different level of alcohol in blood. It describes proposed methodology of measurements and data analysis. It covers also the issues of testing track creation and measurement procedure protocol. Finally the results of data analysis and proposals for further utilization of these tools and methods are presented.

This paper studies a new modification of the anti-synchronization chaos shift keying scheme for the secure encryption and decryption of data. A new concept of the detection of the correct/incorect binary value in the receiver is used. The method proposed here requires very reasonable amount of data to encrypt and time to decrypt a single bit. Basically, to encrypt a single bit, only one iteration is needed. Moreover, the security of this method is systematically investigated showing its good resistance to typical decryption attacks. Theoretical results are supported by the numerical simulations.

This paper presents a novel, full-reference image quality measurement method for video quality assessment in television systems. Particularly, the proposed metric targets the problem of automatic assessment of digital picture degradations. The performance of proposed algorithm has been evaluated on different image sequences with various distortions of interest. The results show that the proposed scheme for quality assessment outperforms other image quality measures: PSNR, SSIM and VIF in terms of more efficient quality inspection based on local feature matching as well as robustness against various distortions such as luminance or contrast change, negligible picture misalignment, etc.

Need of blood pressure measurement is usable in wide spectrum of applications from physicians offices to home care applications. Many types of blood pressure measurement devices can be bought in electronics shops. All such devices are measurement devices which need to be in contact with human body (hand or foot mainly). Further they allow only one measurement per several minutes interval (typically 10 minutes). Our goal is to develop a small device for noninvasive continuous measurement of blood pressure. This device must be a small battery powered embedded system which measures a blood pressure during a long time period and sends this information to remote operator's stations. In this station the analysis of receiving video data is made for several types of usage. In current state we develop a small device to scan a video or a set of images with the NIR (Near Infra Red) CCD camera. The video data are transferred by wireless connection to the computer where they are analyzed. The first results provide an indication to be a right way to obtain exact continuous blood pressure information. In the future there exists a way to integrate this blood pressure measurement system to concurrently developed biotelemetric system architecture for patients and physicians called Guardian. For position monitoring in outdoor areas there is developed GPS module which informs about patient location and brings very precise time basis for other measuring modules of Guardian system and time synchronization.
