AbstractCombining EEG with eye-tracking is a promising approach to study neural correlates of natural vision, but the resulting recordings are also heavily contaminated by activity of the eye balls, eye lids, and extraocular muscles. While Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is commonly used to suppress these ocular artifacts, its performance under free viewing conditions has not been systematically evaluated and many published findings display residual artifacts. Here I evaluated and optimized ICA-based correction for two tasks with unconstrained eye movements: visual search in images and sentence reading. In a first step, four parameters of the ICA pipeline were systematically varied: the (1) high-pass and (2) low-pass filter applied to the training data, (3) the proportion of training data containing myogenic saccadic spike potentials (SP), and (4) the threshold for eye tracker-based component rejection. In a second step, the eye-tracker was used to objectively quantify correction quality of each ICA solution, both in terms of undercorrection (residual artifacts) and overcorrection (removal of neurogenic activity). As a benchmark, results were compared to those obtained with an alternative spatial filter, Multiple Source Eye Correction (MSEC). With commonly used settings, Infomax ICA not only left artifacts in the data of both tasks, but also distorted neurogenic activity during eye movement-free intervals. However, correction could be drastically improved by training the ICA on optimally filtered data in which SPs were massively overweighted. With optimized procedures, ICA removed virtually all artifacts, including the SP and its associated spectral broadband artifact, with little distortion of neural activity. It also outperformed MSEC in terms of SP correction. Matlab code is provided.Author NoteI would like to acknowledge Maarten De Schuymer, who conducted early explorations of the effects of high-pass filtering that helped to initiate the current work. I am also grateful to Lisa Spiering for assisting with the MSEC correction and Werner Sommer for providing an excellent working environment. Collection of one of the datasets was supported by a grant from DFG (FG-868-A2). Comments or corrections are highly appreciated.

In this paper, a miniaturized bandpass filter for ultra-wide-band applications is proposed. It is based on the embedding of high-pass structures in a low-pass filter. A semi-lumped technology combining surface-mounted capacitors and transmission lines has been used. The filter design rules have been carried out. Furthermore, two filters having a 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 142 and 150%, centered at 0.77 and 1 GHz, respectively, have been realized for a proof of concept. Measured characteristics, in good agreement with simulations, show attractive properties of return loss (|S11| <−18 dB), insertion loss (<0.3 dB), and a maximum group delay and group delay variation of 2 and 1.3 ns, respectively. A distributed filter based on the same low-pass/high-pass approach has been also realized and measured for comparison. The size reduction reaches 85% for the semi-lumped filter, and its selectivity is improved with a shape factor of 1.3:1 instead of 1.5:1. The semi-lumped filter's drawback is related to a smaller rejection bandwidth compared to the distributed one. To improve the high-frequency stopband, an original technique for spurious responses suppression based on capacitively loaded stubs has been proposed. Even if the performances do not reach that obtained for the distributed approach, with this technique spurious responses are pushed until eight times the center frequency. A sensitivity study vs. critical parameters has also been carried out, showing the robustness of the design.

The 3 phase induction motor is a reliable and strong motor also has cheap price. However induction motor are also vulnerable, from the result of survey conducted by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), there are 41% cases of damage occur in the bearing caused by working environment condition, bearing age, and several other factors. Bearing fault is not easily to identified, with applying the data extraction method using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the K-Medoids clustering method will facilitate the identification process. The extraction method will pass the data in the form of current signals into the digital filter (Low Pass Filter and High Pass Filter) to be mapped into the region of frequency and time simultaneously, and clustering method will group data based on certain characteristics. Based on the clustering tests that have been done on the 3 phase induction motor current signal data with 3 bearing conditions, the Discrete Wavelet Transformation with mother wavelet bior1.1 decomposition level 2 and K-Medoids produce an accuracy rate of 86.8%.

In this work it is applied the wavelet transform method [2] in order to reduce diverse type of noises of experimental measurement plots in transport theory. First, suppose that a problem is governed by the transport equation for neutral particles, and an unknown perturbation occurs. In this case, the perturbation can be associated to the source, or even to the flux inside the domain X. How is the behavior of the perturbed flux in relation to the flux without the perturbation? For that, we employ the wavelet transform method in order to compress the angular flux considered as a 1D, or n-th dimensional signal ψ. The compression of this signal can be performed up to some a convenient order (that depends of the length of the signal). Now, the transport signal is decomposed as [9, 11]: ψ=〈am|dm|dm−1|dm−2|⋯|d2|d1〉 where ak represents the sub signal of k-th level generated by the low-pass filter associated to the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) chosen, and dk the sub signal of k-th level generated by the high-pass filter associated to the same DWT. It is applied basically the Haar, Daub4 and Coiflet wavelets transforms. Indeed, the sub signal am cumulates the energy, for this work of order 96% of the original signal ψ. A thresholding algorithm provides treatment for the noise, with significant reduction in the compressed signal. Then, it is established a comparison with a base of data in order to identify the perturbed signal. After the identification, it is recomposed the signal applying the inverse DWT. Many assumptions can be established: the rate signal-to-noise is properly high, the base of data must contain so many perturbed signals all with the same level of compression. The problem considered is for perturbations in the signal. For measurements the problem is similar, but in this case the unknown perturbations are generated by the apparatus of measurements, problems in experimental techniques, or simply by random noises. With the same above assumptions, the DWT is applied. For the identification, it is used a method evolving statistical and metric techniques. It is given some results obtained with an algebraic computer system.

The plasma models used in analytical or numerical studies exhibit, mainly for practical reasons, symmetry reducing the dimensions of the space. It is not obligatory that the restrictions on the dynamics and the chosen form of the electrostatic interactions should correspond to the same symmetry and this introduces the concept of a d (dynamic), d' (electrostatic) model with d' ≥ d. We show that the crucial parameter is d' – d. For d' – d = 0, the model exhibits both at low and at high temperature the same characteristic plasma frequency. At high temperature we recover the Vlasov limit and the plasma acts as a high-pass filter. For d' – d = 1, the two frequencies (purely collective at high temperature and ‘crystal’ frequency at very low temperature) are different, while in its high temperature (Vlasov) limit the plasma acts as a low-pass filter. Finally if d' – d ≥ 2 there is no longer a Vlasov limit for all values of temperature and density. These properties are obtained through a systematic use of the homothety transformations and a search for the corresponding invariants.

This paper presents a voltage-mode(VM) tunable multifunction inverse filter configuration employing current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBA). The presented structure utilizes two CDBAs, two/three capacitors and four/five resistors to realize inverse low pass filter (ILPF), inverse high pass filter (IHPF), inverse band pass filter (IBPF), and inverse band reject filter(IBRF) from the same circuit topology by suitable selection(s) of the branch admittances(s). PSPICE simulations have been performed with 0.18µm TSMC CMOS technology to validate the theory. Some sample experimental results have also been provided using off-the-shelf IC AD844 based CDBA.
