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.

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.

Visual based recognition of hand gestures has been an active research field in recent years due to its efficiency in helping us achieve a more natural human-computer interaction. This paper presents a new approach to hand pose estimation using combined visual and geometric information obtained in a synchronized format from a RGB-D sensor. Firstly, we track the contour of the hand and recognize the fingertip positions. Then, Kernel Principal Component Analysis is used for selecting the most relevant elements from the histograms of oriented gradients feature vectors obtained on both color and depth data. We define an observation model based on the found fingertip positions and the selected principal components and we feed it as input for a Support Vector Machine classifier. Experimental results for the proposed method show that good detection percentages can be obtained with a small training dataset of real hand images and depth masks.

This paper presents the design and practical implementation of a gateway interface between two networks, CAN and Ethernet. Data packets detected over a network will be routed to the other network, with the possibility of using various filters. Since there is no standard yet for this purpose, the paper also proposes a method to pack one or more CAN messages in an Ethernet frame. For testing purposes of the interface gateway and its implementation a series of graphical software tools running on a PC client have been developed. These tools are able to send and decode messages using the specified packaging. At the end of the paper a graphical application demonstrates the functionality of the gateway implementation and the benefits of the proposed CAN-Ethernet routing method.

Look-up decisions tables are favorites in fuzzy control when a complex algorithm of fuzzy rules inference is an impediment for a real time application. The control values of look-up tables are fuzzy singletons in finite number. It is difficult to obtain the best fuzzy control performance in these conditions. The look-up tables can be assimilated to sparse fuzzy rule bases. A linear interpolation method applied in a look-up decision table increase to a large number the fuzzy control values. In this way the fuzzy control performance can be improved. A level fuzzy control of three-tank system is implemented to validate the proposed method.

The distributed computer systems applied in industry are usually of the real-time type. In those systems the maximal system response time has to be always well known in order to ensure the functional as well as the safety parameters of the system. However, the system response time may be subject to change as a result of system development during its life cycle. As the given system grows, the response time lengthens. So it happens that in order to satisfy the real-time constraints, the response time T RES has to be reduced after the system development. One of the factors that have an influence on the T RES time, is the automata cycle of the communication system nodes. The shorter the automata cycle is, the more frequent is the data exchange between the CPU module and the communication module of the given system node, which improves the T RES value. However, having the node's application well implemented, shortening of the automata cycle may seldom be done by the application optimization. Then, the only solution would be to temporary shorten the automata cycle by execution of some of the most crucial parts of the user application. In this paper, a method for shortening the automata cycle is described.
