Genetic algorithms (GAs) are optimization techniques inspired from natural genetics. A genetic algorithm has in view to evaluate many points in the parameter space with the aim to converge to the global optimal solution. Mathematica software is an excellent symbolic tool for hard tasks and is used in this paper. Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is very important for the quality of robust control, new approaches as symbolic to genetic tuning of PID controllers are excellent choice to solve this problem. A global integral index ISE (Integral of Squared Error) is minimized. At first the PID Symbolic Tuning is considered. The complicated problem of robust genetic tuning is solved. Some examples obtained by simulation are considered in both cases.

In this paper are presented several techniques used for improving the pupil detection algorithm based on a head mounted eye tracking system employing an infrared video camera. The coordinates of the eye pupil center obtained by any eye tracker device are affected by many noise sources. In order to improve the pupil detection position, several different techniques of real time filtering and high frequency spikes canceling from the signal provided by the pupil detection algorithm are presented. The optimal parameters of the real time filter, depending on the application sampling frequency, have been determined.

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.

Accurate prediction of power loss distribution within an electrical device is highly desirable as it allows thermal behavior to be evaluated at the early design stage. Three-dimensional (3-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) finite element analysis (FEA) is applied to calculate dc and ac copper losses in the armature winding at high-frequency sinusoidal currents. The main goal of this paper is showing the end-winding effect on copper losses. Copper losses at high frequency are dominated by the skin and proximity effects. A time-varying current has a tendency to concentrate near the surfaces of conductors, and if the frequency is very high, the current is restricted to a very thin layer near the conductor surface. This phenomenon of nonuniform distribution of time-varying currents in conductors is known as the skin effect. The term proximity effect refers to the influence of alternating current in one conductor on the current distribution in another, nearby conductor. To evaluate the ac copper loss within the analyzed machine a simplified approach is adopted using one segment of stator core. To demonstrate an enhanced copper loss due to ac operation, the dc and ac resistances are calculated. The resistances ratio ac to dc is strongly dependent on frequency, temperature, shape of slot and size of slot opening.
