Vibration signals measured from a gearbox are complex multicomponent signals, generated by tooth meshing, gear shaft rotation, gearbox resonance vibration signatures, and a substantial amount of noise. This paper presents a novel scheme for extracting gearbox fault features using adaptive filtering techniques for enhancing condition features, meshing frequency sidebands. A modified least mean square (LMS) algorithm is examined and validated using only one accelerometer, instead of using two accelerometers in traditional arrangement, as the main signal and a desired signal is artificially generated from the measured shaft speed and gear meshing frequencies. The proposed scheme is applied to a signal simulated from gearbox frequencies with a numerous values of step size. Findings confirm that 10−5 step size invariably produces more accurate results and there has been a substantial improvement in signal clarity (better signal-to-noise ratio), which makes meshing frequency sidebands more discernible. The developed scheme is validated via a number of experiments carried out using two-stage helical gearbox for a healthy pair of gears and a pair suffering from a tooth breakage with severity fault 1 (25% tooth removal) and fault 2 (50% tooth removal) under loads (0%, and 80% of the total load). The experimental results show remarkable improvements and enhance gear condition features. This paper illustrates that the new approach offers a more effective way to detect early faults.

Adaptive filtering has the advantages of real-time processing, small computational complexity, and good adaptability and robustness. It has been widely used in communication, navigation, signal processing, optical fiber sensing, and other fields. In this paper, by adding an interferometer with the same parameters as the signal interferometer as the reference channel, the sensing signal of the interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone is denoised by two adaptive filtering schemes based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm and the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm respectively. The results show that the LMS algorithm is superior to the NLMS algorithm in reducing total harmonic distortion, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and filtering effect.

Acoustic pyrometry is a comparatively advanced method of temperature measurement developed in recent years, which possesses the essential characteristics of traditional temperature measurement approach. Considering the interferences, like strong background noise, reverberation and so on, in boiler furnace, the LMS (least mean square) adaptive filter algorithm should be improved to meet certain environment above. In order to make the LMS algorithm have the characteristic of fast convergence and small steady state error, an improved, power-normalized and variable step-size discrete cosine transform LMS algorithm is proposed, which combines the power-normalized discrete cosine transform LMS algorithm with the variable step size LMS algorithm that uses the sliding forgetting-weighted window. The time delay estimation simulation in the strong-noise environment verifies the improved DCT-MVSS LMS algorithm can achieve good performance.

A digital adaptive filtering system is applied to various fields such as current disturbance, noise cancellation, and active vibration and noise control. The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm is widely adopted, owing to its simplicity and low computational burden. A limitation of the LMS algorithm with fixed step size is the trade-off between convergence speed and stability. Several studies have tried to overcome this limitation by varying the step size according to filter input and error; however, the related algorithms with variable step size have not been suitable for signals with complex frequency spectra. As the error decreases, the quality of the output signal deteriorates due to the increase in the higher-order components, depending on the characteristics of the algorithm. Therefore, a novel adaptive filtering algorithm was proposed to overcome these drawbacks. It increased the stability of the system by decreasing the step size using an exponential function. In addition, the error was reduced through normalization using the power of the input signal in the initial state, and the misadjustments in the system were adjusted properly by introducing an energy autocorrelation function of instantaneous error. Furthermore, a novel multi-staged adaptive LMS (MSA-LMS) algorithm was introduced and applied to active periodic structures. The proposed algorithm was validated by simulation and observed to be superior to the conventional LMS algorithms. The results of this study can be applied to active control systems for the reduction of vibration and noise signals with complex spectra in next-generation powertrains, such as hybrid and electric vehicles.

This study introduces an adaptive Fourier linear combiner (FLC) based on a modified least mean kurtosis (LMK) algorithm in order to effectively process sinusoidal signals, which we call FLC-LMK algorithm. In the design procedure of the proposed FLC-LMK algorithm, the classical kurtosis-based cost function is first modified for only sinusoidal signal distributions instead of Gaussian. Then, the FLC-LMK algorithm is derived from the minimization of this cost function and thus updates the weight coefficients of the FLC structure so as to directly process sinusoidal signals. Moreover, in this study, the convergence in the mean of the proposed FLC-LMK algorithm is analysed in order to determine the lower and upper bounds of its step size parameter. The most important contributions of the use of the proposed algorithm in the FLC structure are that it increases the convergence rate, decreases the steady-state error level and also has a robust behaviour against sinusoidal signal distributions due to its modified cost function. The performance of the proposed FLC-LMK algorithm is evaluated on the synthetic and real-world pathological hand tremor data by comparing with that of the FLC based on the classical least mean square (LMS) (FLC-LMS) algorithm. The simulation results support the mentioned properties of the proposed FLC-LMK algorithm.

Removal of noise components of speech signals in mobile applications  is an important step to facilitate high resolution signals to the user. Throughout the communication method the speech signals are tainted by numerous non stationary noises. The Least Mean Square (LMS) technique is a fundamental adaptive technique usedbroadly in numerouspurposes as anoutcome of its plainness as well as toughness. In LMS technique, an importantfactor is the step size. It bewell-known that if the union rate of the LMS technique will be rapidif the step size is speedy, but the steady-state mean square error (MSE) will raise. On the rival, for the diminutive step size, the steady state MSE will be minute, but the union rate will be conscious. Thus, the step size offers anexchange among the convergence rate and the steady-state MSE of the LMS technique. Build the step size variable before fixed to recover the act of the LMS technique, explicitly, prefer large step size values at the time of the earlyunion of the LMS technique, and usetiny step size values when the structure is near up to its steady state, which results in Normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithms. In this practice the step size is not stable and changes along with the fault signal at that time. The Less mathematical difficulty of the adaptive filter is extremely attractive in speech enhancement purposes. This drop usually accessible by extract either the input data or evaluation fault.  The algorithms depend on an extract of fault or data are Sign Regressor (SR) Algorithms. We merge these sign version to various adaptive noise cancellers. SR Weight NLMS (SRWNLMS), SR Error NLMS (SRENLMS), SR Unbiased LMS (SRUBLMS) algorithms are individual introduced as a quality factor. These Adaptive noise cancellers are compared with esteem to Signal to Noise Ratio Improvement (SNRI).

In this paper, we have presented the design, implementation and comparison result of Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and Normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithm using a 4 channel microphone array for noise reduction as well as speech enhancement. Adaptive sub band Generalized Side lobe Canceller (GSC) beam former has been used for experiment and analysis. Tested results were done by using one speech signal and a small number of noise sources. The side lobe canceller was evaluated with the adaptation of LMS and NLMS. The overall development of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) has been determined from the input and output powers of signal and noise, with signal only as input and noise, as input to the GSC. The NLMS algorithm considerably improves speech quality with noise suppression levels of up to 13 dB, while the LMS algorithm is giving up to 10 dB. In different ways of SNR measure was under various types of blocking matrix, step sizes and various noise locations. The whole process will be used for hands-free telephony, video conferencing etc. in a noisy environment.

The step size of least mean square (LMS) algorithm is significant for its performance. To be specific, small step size can get small excess mean square error but results in slow convergence. However, large step size may cause instability. Many variable step size least mean square (VSSLMS) algorithms have been developed to enhance the control performance. In this paper, a new VSSLMS was proposed based on Kwong’s algorithm to evaluate the robustness. The approximate analysis of dynamic and steady-state performance of this developed VSSLMS algorithm was given. An active vibration control system of piezoelectric cantilever beam was established to verify the performance of the VSSLMS algorithms. By comparing with the current VSSLMS algorithms, the proposed method has better performance in active vibration control applications.

An increasing number of elderly­­­­ and disabled people urge the need for a health care monitoring system which has the capabilities for analyzing patient health care data to avoid preventable deaths. Medical Telemetry is becoming a key tool in assisting patients living remotely where a “Real-time Remote Critical Health Care Monitoring System” (RRCHCMS) can be utilized for the same. The RRCHCMS is capable of receiving and transmitting data from a remote location to a location that has the capability to diagnose the data and affect decision making and further providing assistance to the patient. During the cardiac analysis, several artifacts solidly affect the ST segment, humiliate the signal quality, frequency resolution, and results in large amplitude signals in ECG that simulate PQRST waveform and cover up the miniature features that are useful for clinical monitoring and diagnosis. In this paper, several leaky based adaptive filter structures for cardiac signal improvement are discussed. The Circular Leaky Least Mean Square (CLLMS) algorithm being the steepest drop strategy for dropping the mean squared error gives a better result in comparison with the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. To enlarge the filtering ability some variants of LMS, Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS), CLLMS, Variable Step Size CLLMS (VSS-CLLMS) algorithms are used in both time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD). At last, we applied this algorithm on cardiac signals occurred due to MIT-BIH database. The performance of CLLMS algorithm is better compared to LLMS counterparts in conditions of Signal to Noise Ratio Improvement (SNRI), Excess Mean Square Error (EMSE) and Misadjustment (MSD). When compared to all other algorithms VSS-CLLMS gives superior SNRI. These values are 13.5616dB and 13.7592dB for Baseline Wander (BW) and Muscle Artifact (MA) removal.
