When the mechanical transmission mechanism fails, such as gears and bearings in the gearbox, its vibration signal often appears as a periodic impact. Considering the influence of noise, however, the fault signal is often submerged in the noise, so it is necessary to propose a feasible and effective fault extraction method. MOMEDA (multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted) overcomes the tedious iterative process of MED (minimum entropy deconvolution) and overcomes the resampling trouble in MCKD (maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution). It is suitable for dealing with periodic impact signal. Besides, aiming at the poor ability of MOMEDA to capture the deconvolution result of target function in a strong noise environment, this paper proposes an improved MOMEDA gearbox fault feature extraction method. Considering that MOMEDA has poor anti-noise performance and can easily cause misdiagnosis in a strong noisy environment, this paper constructs an autoregressive mean sliding model to improve the noise immunity of MOMEDA. Firstly, the stability of the test signal is judged by the autocorrelation coefficient (ACF) and the partial correlation coefficient (PACF). Secondly, the ARMA (autoregressive moving average) model is constructed and a set of optimal model coefficients are obtained to filter the signal, which greatly improves MOMEDA’s ability to capture fault features. Thirdly, the fault feature is extracted by MOMEDA, and the fault information is extracted accurately under a strong noise environment. Finally, compared with AR-MED, ARMAMED, and other methods, the advantages of ARMAMOMEDA are verified. Moreover, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are verified by simulation signals and experimental data from the Case Western Reserve University Bearing Data Center.

Low-speed hoist bearings are characterized by fault features that are weak and difficult to extract. Multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (MOMEDA) is an effective method for extracting periodic pulses in a signal. However, the decomposition effect of MOMEDA largely depends on the selected pulse period and filter length. To address these drawbacks of MOMEDA and accurately extract features from the vibration signal of a hoist bearing, an adaptive feature extraction method is proposed based on iterative autocorrelation (IAC) and MOMEDA. To automatically identify the pulse period, a new evaluation index named autocorrelation kurtosis entropy (AKE) was constructed to select the optimal IAC. To eliminate the influence of the filter length on the decomposition effect, an iterative MOMEDA strategy was designed to gradually enhance signal impulse features. The Case Western Reserve University bearing dataset and bearing data from a self-made hoisting test setup were used to verify the effectiveness of IAC-MOMEDA in extracting weak features. Moreover, the capability of IAC-MOMEDA for features extraction of normal bearing vibration signal was further confirmed by field test data.

Geocenter is the center of the mass of the Earth system including the solid Earth, ocean, and atmosphere. The time-varying characteristics of geocenter motion (GCM) reflect the redistribution of the Earth’s mass and the interaction between solid Earth and mass loading. Multi-channel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) was introduced to analyze the GCM products determined from satellite laser ranging data released by the Center for Space Research through January 1993 to February 2017 for extracting the periods and the long-term trend of GCM. The results show that the GCM has obvious seasonal characteristics of the annual, semiannual, quasi-0.6-year, and quasi-1.5-year in the X, Y, and Z directions, the annual characteristics make great domination, and its amplitudes are 1.7, 2.8, and 4.4 mm, respectively. It also shows long-period terms of 6.09 years as well as the non-linear trends of 0.05, 0.04, and –0.10 mm/yr in the three directions, respectively. To obtain real-time GCM parameters, the MSSA method combining a linear model (LM) and autoregressive moving average model (ARMA) was applied to predict GCM for 2 years into the future. The precision of predictions made using the proposed model was evaluated by the root mean squared error (RMSE). The results show that the proposed method can effectively predict GCM parameters, and the prediction precision in the three directions is 1.53, 1.08, and 3.46 mm, respectively.

AbstractPolar motion is the movement of the Earth's rotational axis relative to its crust, reflecting the influence of the material exchange and mass redistribution of each layer of the Earth on the Earth's rotation axis. To better analyze the temporally varying characteristics of polar motion, multi-channel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) was used to analyze the EOP 14 C04 series released by the International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IERS) from 1962 to 2020, and the amplitude of the Chandler wobbles were found to fluctuate between 20 and 200 mas and decrease significantly over the last 20 years. The amplitude of annual oscillation fluctuated between 60 and 120 mas, and the long-term trend was 3.72 mas/year, moving towards N56.79 °W. To improve prediction of polar motion, the MSSA method combining linear model and autoregressive moving average model was used to predict polar motion with ahead 1 year, repeatedly. Comparing to predictions of IERS Bulletin A, the results show that the proposed method can effectively predict polar motion, and the improvement rates of polar motion prediction for 365 days into the future were approximately 50% on average.

Normally, econometric models that forecast the Italian Industrial Production Index do not exploit information already available at time t + 1 for their own main industry groupings. The new strategy proposed here uses state–space models and aggregates the estimates to obtain improved results. The performance of disaggregated models is compared at the same time with a popular benchmark model, a univariate model tailored on the whole index, with persistent not formally registered holidays, a vector autoregressive moving average model exploiting all information published on the web for main industry groupings. Tests for superior predictive ability confirm the supremacy of the aggregated forecasts over three steps horizon using absolute forecast error and quadratic forecast error as a loss function. The datasets are available online.

The association between neural activity and cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been used to assess neurovascular coupling (NVC) in health and diseases states, but little attention has been given to the contribution of simultaneous changes in peripheral covariates. We used an innovative approach to assess the contributions of arterial blood pressure (BP), PaCO2, and the stimulus itself to changes in CBF velocities (CBFv) during active (MA), passive (MP), and motor imagery (MI) paradigms. Continuous recordings of CBFv, beat-to-beat BP, heart rate, and breath-by-breath end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) were performed in 17 right-handed subjects before, during, and after motor-cognitive paradigms performed with the right arm. A multivariate autoregressive-moving average model was used to calculate the separate contributions of BP, EtCO2, and the neural activation stimulus (represented by a metronome on-off signal) to the CBFv response during paradigms. Differences were found in the bilateral CBFv responses to MI compared with MA and MP, due to the contributions of stimulation ( P < 0.05). BP was the dominant contributor to the initial peaked CBFv response in all paradigms with no significant differences between paradigms, while the contribution of the stimulus explained the plateau phase and extended duration of the CBFv responses. Separating the neural activation contribution from the influences of other covariates, it was possible to detect differences between three paradigms often used to assess disease-related NVC. Apparently similar CBFv responses to different motor-cognitive paradigms can be misleading due to the contributions from peripheral covariates and could lead to inaccurate assessment of NVC, particularly during MI.
