    Acquiring a precise percentage of oxygen saturation (SpO2) from a finger-probe pulse oximeter is dependent on both artifact-free red and infrared photoplethysmoghaphic (PPG) signals. Nonetheless, in real-life situations, these PPG signals are corrupted by a motion artifact (MA) signal that is generated from either finger or hand movement. To resolve this MA interference, the cause of the adulteration of PPG signals by the MA signal is examined. The MA signal is found to behave like an additive noise. Additionally, the frequency responses of the MA and PPG signals show that these signals are in the same frequency band. Hence, instead of direct current, a sinusoidal wave alternating current is proposed to drive an LED source in order to shift the PPG frequency band away from the MA frequency band. Experimentally, a commercial finger-probe pulse oximeter is employed. To determine the performance of the presented scheme, the resulting PPG signals are compared with those from employing the old-fashioned LED-driving method. In addition, the accuracy is verified by computing the SpO2 value. The results reveal that the proposed approach successfully retains the fundamental morphologies of the PPG structures when motion occurs. Moreover, the calculated SpO2 values from the proposed technique provide an average error of approximately 1.4%, whereas the conventional method yields a mean error approximately 4.2%.

    A new design of a system for preliminary detection of defective hearts is proposed which is composed of two subsystems, in which one is based on the relationship between the electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG) signals. The relationship between both signals is determined as an impulse response (h(n)) of a system, where the decision is made based on the linear predictive coding coefficients of a heart's impulse response. The other subsystem uses a phase space approach, in which the mean squared error between the distance vectors of the phase space of the normal heart and abnormal heart is judged by the likelihood ratio test (Λ) value, on which the decision is made. The advantage of the proposed system is that a heart's diagnosis system based on the ECG and EPCG signals can lead to high performance heart diagnostics. © 2011 Phanphaisarn et al, publisher and licensee Dove Medical Press Ltd.

    This paper presents a distance determination technique using an image from the single forward camera. Since too dark or too bright of the image and non-linear relation between height of the object and distance from the camera have effect on the performance of the detection process. Therefore, automatic brightness adjustment and inverse perspective mapping (IMP) is applied in the proposed scheme. In addition, region of interest (ROI) determination is used to decrease the processing time. The experimental results confirm that the proposed technique can detect distance of the object in front of the car where the error is 7.96%.

    Estimating an optimal setpoint to lessen errors in filling weighing system based on Kalman filtering

    A weighing system in which a sensor is not mounted to a discharger especially in vertical filling gives rise to an excess of weight added to the given target of weight. In addition, the excess is not constant on account of some factors, such as vibration of the machine, flow of the substance, and cycle time of the system. These factors cause the surplus to oscillate. To overcome this problem, Kalman filtering is performed to predict the optimal setpoint to meet the defined target. To illustrate the performance of the proposed technique, the resulting outcome is compared with that of using the conventional statistical method. The results have shown that the proposed approach has significantly increased the speed and lowered the error. It is pointed out that the proposed algorithm may be preferable to the traditional statistical technique due to its effectiveness and its simple implementation. © 2014 IEEE.

    This paper presents a first order complex adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) notch filter (FIR-ANF) to track and estimate the frequency of complex sinusoidal signal corrupted by Gaussian noise. This research also presents gradient based adaptive algorithm for adjusting the filter coefficient. Computer simulation results have shown that, as compared with the conventional first-order complex adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filter (IIR-ANF), the proposed technique has faster convergence time, especially, when the initial value of algorithm is far from the true solution.

    The Mean square error (MSE) of direct frequency estimation algorithm (DFE) for the adaptive FIR notch filter is presented in this paper. The developed analysis technique is capable of tracking the simulations very well in the steady state. The proposed method is based on the merging between the analysis technique for linear predictor and the second-order adaptive FIR notch filter. Computer simulations have been treated to corroborate with the theoretical analysis.

    In this article, the principle for determining locked ranges of the frequency divider based on the injection locked relaxation oscillator (ILRO-FD) is proposed. The proposed principle shows that the ILRO has many frequency-division ratios and can indicate that which ratios are suitable for frequency dividers. In addition, based on the proposed principle, it is found that the patterns of frequency-division ratios of ILRO depend on the charge-pump circuit's current ratio. Moreover, the proposed principle is verified by the simulation results of the ILRO-FD based on 0.35um-CMOS technology of TSMC.

    PLI cancellation in ECG signal based on adaptive filter by using wiener-Hopf equation for providing initial condition

    This paper presents a technique for finding the optimal initial weight for adaptive filter by using difference equation. The obtained analytical response of the system identifies the appropriate weights for the system and shows that the MSE depends on the initial weight. The proposed technique is applied to eliminate the known frequency power line interference (PLI) signal in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The PLI signal is considered as a combination of cosine and sine signals. The adaptive filter, therefore, attempts to adjust the amplitude of cosine and sine signals to synthesize a reference signal very similar to the contaminated PLI signal. To compare the potential of the proposed technique to other techniques, the system is simulated by using the Matlab program and the TMS320C6713 digital board. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique enables the system to eliminate the PLI signal with the fastest time and gains the superior results of the recovered ECG signal.

    This research proposes the velocity detection for short range radar using an adaptive FIR notch filter and a sinusoidal automatic gain control scheme (SAGC). A HB 100 module with amplifying gain of 20 times produces Doppler signal and this signal is fed to a laptop through a sound card with sampling frequency of 8000 Hertz. The signal is processed by the SAGC to amplify the amplitude of the signal to be unity. To detect the frequency of the signal, an algorithm of indirect frequency estimation based on adaptive FIR notch filter is performed. After that, the resulting frequency is converted to velocity. All procedures in this work are processed by MATLAB program. The results of the proposed method have better signal to noise ratio compared with existing method. In addition, the presented work consumes low computational time.

    A simple and efficient method for canceling sinusoidal interference is presented in this paper. The interference of known frequency is modeled as a sum of unknown amplitude and zeros phase sine and cosine components. The amplitude of those components are sequentially estimated interms of Wiener-Hopf solutions using cumulative average system. Additionally, in order to avoid any look-up tables for generating the sine and cosine signals, the coupled-digital oscillator is employed instead. It has been demonstrated that the proposed method can efficiently and rapidly cancel sinusoidal interference as compared with the previous method. © 2011 IEEE.
