In this study, a novel approach for assessing congestive heart failure by using support vector machine (SVM) and relatively short-term ECG waveforms is presented. This approach only involved a simple data normalization, resampling, and repetition of periodic data in order to obtain a good accuracy while still being a good general classifier. The ECG unit patterns were first consecutively extracted from the ECG signal. Then the unit patterns were inputted into a support vector machine for classification. Stacking three unit patterns obtained the most general classifier, while stacking five unit patterns achieved the best accuracy. In conclusion, by introducing an extra periodic pattern into the SVM, it is possible to both in-crease the accuracy and generality of the classifier. This makes short waveform classification possible, rather than looking at long trends.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specification allows combination of different USB components into a single device. This creates a composite device and each component is recognized as an independent device. The aim of the paper is to introduce a novel concept to combine some commonly used USB classes in a single device to create a composite device that functions in multiple ways. The paper shows some ways of combining two different USB classes using available Real Time Operating System (RTOS). The paper explains the implementation of USB Human Interface Device class and USB Mass Storage Device the classes used in the two most commonly used peripheral devices, using available stack libraries and clearly explains the important aspects in implementing the said classes. The prototype device mentioned will function both as a pointing device and a storage device.

Ultrasonic technology has potential application prospect in measurement of phase fraction in oil-water two-phase flow. An ultrasound attenuation method is discussed in the oil-water two-phase flow. Geometric simulation models of oil-water two-phase flow with different fractions are set up based on the finite element analysis method. Simulation results show that phase fraction and distribution jointly affect on the ultrasound attenuation coefficient. Test results give good agreement with the trend of the simulation results. The feasibility and effectiveness can be achieved to use the ultrasound attenuation testing method. This is a basic work for ultrasound attenuation method adopted to test the phase fraction of oil-water two-phase flow. A predicted model of phase fraction with different flow patterns can be effectively established combined with physically experimental data.

This paper presents a methodology for developing an adequacy assessment of the generating and storing mix capacity in nearly-Zero Energy Residential Buildings (nZEB). The adequacy of a given generating and storing mix will be quantified by means of a set of reliability indices obtained by adapting the traditional reliability techniques employed in power systems. The analysis will use a Montecarlo based sampling, to obtain the hourly load and generation profiles of the buildings. Then, the obtained profiles will be used together with the building management system (BMS) model and the energy storage system (ESS) model for obtaining the desired reliability indices.

The traditional control strategy of hydraulic flight motion simulator(HFMS) cannot meet the high tracking performance requirement, and the control precision is sensitive to disturbance. This paper presents an adaptive inverse controller based on the Wiener-type recurrent neural network(WRNN) to deal with the parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities in HFMS. The WRNN is a dynamic linear subsystem cascaded with a static nonlinear subsystem. The controller contains two WRNNs, one to identify the Jacobian information of the controlled plant and another to approximate the inverse model of the plant. Since the inverse transfer function behaves sensitive to the initial value, a feedback controller is designed. The input of the controlled plant includes the feedback controller output and the WRNN inverse controller output. Simulations have confirmed the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed WRNN adaptive inverse control strategy.

Today in market miniature devices are gaining extreme popularity. The use of MEMS based devices is seeing a rapid growth and finds applications in wide range of commercial and defense applications. MEMS switches may be of thin metal cantilever, air bridge, diaphragm or some other structure which is electrically configured either in series or parallel with RF transmission line. These switches are designed to open the line or shunt it to ground upon actuation. These switches have showed excellent RF characteristics which include insertion loss values of 0.1dB, isolation values of -30dB when switches are in series configuration at low RF frequencies (VHF to ~10GHz) and in switches of shunt configuration at higher frequencies (~10 to 100GHz). This type of response enables excellent performance in traditional RF circuits, capacitor banks and routing in RF system. It can also be said that RF MEMS enables a new class of antenna system which can be electrically reconfigured. In all these applications traditional switches can be replaced by RFMEMS switches. In this work, we have designed cantilever based MEMS switches and relay which operates at different voltages and for different dimensions. The design, modeling and simulation are done by FEM technique which is inbuilt in COMSOL. The tool used for this modeling is Comsol/Multiphysics.

The main objective of this paper is to perform a robust controller design using discrete-time sliding mode control (DSMC). In the control scheme, two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) control strategy turns the DSMC, which generally utilized state feedback into output feedback controller. The designed control scheme is considered with feedback and feedforward combination by implementing the zero phase error tracking control (ZPETC), which particularly intended for the nonminimum phase electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA) system application. In the experimental works, a sinusoidal trajectory with different frequencies is employed to assess the DSMC performance under nonlinear and uncertain condition. Experimental results show the DMSC with perfect tracking control approach is capable to reduce the phase lag occurred due to nonlinear phenomenon. The proposed controller also is highly robust under various points of trajectories and significantly shows enhancement in tracking control performance as compared to the conventional controllers.
