Instantaneous frequency is a primary parameter used for analyzing vibration signals of rolling bearings under harsh working conditions, which contains rich information besides the rotating speeds of the shaft. Such vibration signals exhibits characteristics of non-stationary and multi-components. The generalized demodulation time-frequency analysis approach is a novel signal processing method, which is suitable for processing non-stationary and multi-component signals. Its novelty lies in that the signal whose time-frequency distributions are curved paths can be transformed into that whose time-frequency distributions are linear paths paralleling time axis by using generalized demodulation. In this paper, to deal with the vibration signals under variable working speed condition, the generalized demodulation as well as a band-pass filter is used to separate the interested component from original vibration signal. The analysis results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

In this paper we explore detection and tracking of astral micro-tubules, a sub-population of microtubules which only exists during and immediately before mitosis and aids in the spindle orientation by connecting it to the cell cortex. Its analysis can be useful to determine the presence of certain diseases, such as brain pathologies and cancer. The proposed algorithm focuses on overcoming the problems regarding fluorescence microscopy images and microtubule behaviour by using various image processing techniques and is then compared with three existing algorithms, tested on consistent sets of images.

Many tracking systems are based on the Global Positioning System (GPS), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) and smart phones, due to their wide availability and reliability. A moving object to be tracked, it sends its GPS coordinates to the observer via SMS. However, the economic feasibility of these systems mainly depends on the total cost of the used SMS messages. In this paper, an economic tracking scheme is proposed to reduce the tracking cost. A GPS-GSM tracking system that uses the proposed scheme is implemented and tested together with two classical tracking systems under two practical test cases. The first test case is a 121 km vehicle trip and the second is a 2.4 km walking journey. The results showed the effectiveness and economic feasibility of the proposed system, which achieved a saving in tracking cost up to about 64% with respect to the tested classical systems.

Novel Information and Communication Technologies, such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), middleware and cloud computing, are providing innovative solutions ranging in different contexts. Smart health is one of these scenarios. Indeed, there is a rising interest in developing new healthcare services for remote patient assistance and monitoring. Among all, the main promised benefits consist on improving the patients' quality of life, speeding up therapeutic interventions and reducing hospitalizations' costs. This is also known as Telemedicine. In this paper, we present a novel distributed software infrastructure for remote monitoring of patients with chronic metabolic disorders: i) it collects and and makes available information coming from IoT devices, ii) it performs analysis to help medical diagnosis and iii) it promotes a bidirectional communication among the end-users (i.e. medical personnel and patients). In this paper, we also present our experimental results performed in a laboratory test environment to validate the proposed solution.
