In the constantly evolving smart building context, an important aspect to address is devices and applications interoperability. The FCINT project provides a service-oriented management framework for smart building facilities through the use of ontologies, intelligent controllers and a Web-based portal. The alarms system presented in this paper is part of the effort to provide a proper framework for enhancing devices and services interoperability in smart buildings environment. Users will benefit of increased comfort, since actions can be taken as soon as an alarm occurs. Alarm conditions and policies can be easily customized and adapted to different scenarios, such as providing support to elderly people or monitoring patients with various medical conditions in their smart home environments. The alarms service provides real time feedback, thus allowing immediate action to be taken.

Operating wind turbines produce infrasound noise thus they act on the environment. This also applies to small wind turbines, which are located in the immediate vicinity of human settlements. Small wind turbines can be located close to buildings and mounted directly on their walls and roofs. In this case, it is important to determine the level of environmental impact of such type of installation. Measurement results of infrasound noise generated by a small vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), rated power 1 kW, are presented in the paper. Analysis results of sound pressure level and dependence of signal spectra from different wind speeds are shown. In the analysis of sound pressure level the G weighing curve was used according to the ISO 7196:2002 standard and achieved results were referred to the limits contained in the current legislation, what allowed for evaluation of the infrasound noise impact of the turbine under study.

In the field of industrial control, the numerical devices are widely used. There are more issues that can affect the precision of the numerical control and it can induce significant errors in the control structure. These issues, discussed in this article, are: the discretization methods used to elaborate the discrete control algorithms, the value of the sampling rate, the numerical error representation in the computing devices and the quantization error. In this paper we try to make an analysis of these errors and to propose methods that can provide error reduction.

The concept of Digital Business Ecosystem becomes an important aspect of everyday economy and technologies in this area are becoming a reality considering that results from European Join Collaborative Research Projects (FP6 - FP7) are been integrated within Digital Business Ecosystem. In this context, a Farm Management Information System, designed as a part of this Digital Business Ecosystem, could be the key to solving many current problems and should be designed to sustain agricultural Digital Business Ecosystem development.

The paper presents analysis results of sound pressure level of infrasound noise generated by brand new wind turbine from REPOWER type MM92, rated power 2 MW. As results the amplitude spectra of noise for three chosen wind speed values are presented. Additionally, distributions of the sound pressure level with dependence on wind speed for selected resonant and median frequency values are presented. For chosen frequencies linear regression analysis was performed and subjected for a detailed evaluation. Values obtained from measurement were referred to and compared with the limits specified in legislations existing in this area.

Analysis results of sound pressure level of infrasound noise generated by high-power wind turbine Vensys type 62, which is operated for five years with an electrical capacity of 1.2 MW, are presented in the paper. Frequency and time-frequency spectrograms calculated for recorded low-frequency signals with respect to all registered changes of electrical power generated and the number of rotor revolutions per minute are presented. All measured sound pressure levels have been evaluated with and without the use of G weighting curve, which have helped to determine the size of infrasound impact of turbines and to analyze the influence of regarded parameters on this impact range of changes. Values obtained from measurement were referred to and compared with the limits specified in legislations existing in this area.

The paper presents a new approach to elimination of broadband noise and impulsive disturbances from archive audio recordings. The proposed adaptive Kalman-like algorithm, based on a sparse autoregressive model of the audio signal, simultaneously detects noise pulses, interpolates the irrevocably distorted samples and performs signal smoothing. It is shown that bidirectional (forward-backward) processing of the archive signal improves smoothing efficiency and allows one to localize noise pulses more accurately, leading to noticeable performance improvements compared to unidirectional processing.
