The subject matter of the paper refers to the improvement of the acoustic emission (AE) method used in diagnostics of insulation systems of electric power devices. During measurements of the AE pulses that are generated by partial discharges (PDs) in the insulation of electric power devices, there appear diverse kinds of interfering signals. These disturbances, occurring during measurements in laboratory as well as under industrial conditions, can be generated by sources placed inside the electric power device under study or/and by sources emitting in its surrounding. The sources mentioned can be physical phenomena of mechanical, electric or acoustic nature. If the disturbances appear at the same time during measurements as the AE pulses generated by PDs this can cause deformation of the gathered time-runs. This can have direct influence on the proper interpretation of the measurement results obtained by use of the AE method. Hence, the necessity of the influence estimation of the interfering signals on the by PDs generated AE pulses time-runs. The performed research works consider the following issues: The measurements and analysis of the acoustic disturbances generated by corona discharges in the overhead electric power transmission line.

An important part of electric power transformer is the on load tap changer (OLTC) which enables for voltage regulation in the network. Due to high level of failure frequency of these devices it is necessarily to look for new diagnostic methods which enable for theirs technical state estimation under transformer normal operating condition. Presently at the electric Power Institute at Opole University of Technology there are works in progress aspiring to determine the application possibility of the AE method for OLTC diagnosis. Results of scientifically-research works aiming to characterize the acoustic emission (AE) signals generated by OLTC constructed from a separated selector and a power switch are presented in the paper. AE signals generated during the whole OLTC joining cycle are presented. Within the signal four characteristic acoustic structures have been enhanced which regard to succeeding stages of the joining process. AE signals generated by the selector and by the power switch have been analyzed in detail. Analysis of the timefrequency components of signals generated by OLTC has been carried out with the short time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT).

Multimedia is one of the most important aspects of the information era. With the advent of the multimedia age and the spread of Internet, video storage and streaming has been gaining a lot of popularity. When transmitting compressed video over a data network channel errors affect the decoding process. Video transmission puts constraints on data rate, computational complexity and delay. Unreliable channels add more challenges to this task as compressed video is extremely vulnerable to transmission errors. Problems arising from imperfect transmission of block coded video frame sequence result in lost blocks. This paper presents and implements a set of decoder side spatio-temporal algorithms that aim to enhance the speed and quality of the error concealment process. The results obtained by these algorithms are much faster and achieve better performance compared to the existing algorithms, which make them more suitable for real-time applications.

The paper presents a method for estimation of converter drive parameters. This estimation encompassed three types of drives, i.e. a static Scherbius drive, a drive with a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor and a drive with a voltage inverter. For drive modelling and parameter estimation, the author implemented original programmes written in FORTRAN. As well as these, the paper describes an objective function applied for the estimation. The author also compares gradient and gradientless methods, which are applied for minimization of the objective function. Finally, the author explains the estimation results for example drives, focusing on the coincidence of theoretical and empirical waveforms. The abovementioned procedure led to the general rule, which facilitates estimation efficiency.

Usually when modeling a real process the effects of nonlinearities must be taken into account. A road traffic sector is one such process. Considering it from a macroscopic point of view, the sector is modeled both as a nonlinear and as a linearized process. An 110 model is proposed and a RST control algorithm is used to ensure the imposed performances for the closed loop system. The robustness of the system is obtained by determining the modulus margin and based upon it the admissible nonlinearities are analyzed in order to determine the limits between which the system maintains its stability.

The paper provides a case study on the wireless circuit for the purpose of the EGG (Electrogastrography) signal acquisition. The authors present an amplifier based on the ADS1298, wireless communication module (Bluetooth) and the microprocessor unit which have been recently built. The system is currently under examination but the outcome is very promising because the amplifier input is fed with the pure signal, i.e. no high/low pass filter is applied, that is a novelty. The system presented in this paper could be helpful in diagnosis gastric disorders in noninvasive way. It could determine patients with unexplained nausea, vomiting and other dyspeptic symptoms. The unit is under clinical trials tests and preliminary evaluation indicates acceptance by medical staff. Additional advantages are the relatively low cost of manufacture and the possibility of application remotely (pervasive computing).

Differential Ant Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA) is a recent meta-heuristic method which represents an adaptation of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to continuous optimization problems. Other adaptations of ACO to continuous optimization exist but DASA seems to be very efficient for the class of highdimension real-parameters optimization problems, becoming a competitor to more classical methods such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The PSO is a meta-heuristic which is also inspired from insects' life as ACO. Even both methods use a population of entities, the memory of PSO is larger as those of DASA. DASA uses just one current solution around which the population search and the difference that generated last improvement. PSO stores the previous best position and velocity of every particle. This paper attempts to examine if an elitist version of DASA has at least the same effectiveness (finding the true global solution) as PSO, but with significantly better efficiency (less function evaluation). The performance comparison of DASA and PSO is implemented using a set of six test functions well known for their difficulty.
