Usual transducers in wearable devices involve accelerometers gyroscopes, cameras etc. In WD is required to design efficiently in terms of power. Therefore, a new trend incorporates acoustic transducer that does not need a power supply to sense. They are very cheap and easy to replace. In WD, these transducers detect acoustic wave signals traveling in human tissue and bones. The processing of these kind of signals is related with many areas such as medical, gesture recognition, haptics etc. The proposed system uses a set of three sensors to capture Intra Body Acoustic Wave Signals (IBAWS) from the wrist of the right hand. A signal database is constructed using 18 users repeating 30 times each one of five gestures proposed. The patterns are composed by six features per sensor, including Spectral Flux, Spectral Centroid and Short Time Energy. Complete proposed patterns contains 18 features. Classifiers results shown 75.37% of accuracy using Bayesian classifier with Gaussian Kernel, 80% of accuracy using Knn classifier, and 85.56% of accuracy with Artificial Neural Networks. All this for a set of 18 users, supporting the hypothesis that classify IBAWS is independent from the user and could be generalized to use them in WD.","PeriodicalId":166098,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128529431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models are based in an offline training by applying an ANFIS, additionally the model performance is compared with a MPM traditional technique.

The evaluation of the proposed ANFIS learning system is conducted into an experimental testbed based in a DSP/FPGA hardware implementation, using DSP-Builder tool. A graphical interface developed allows the use of the test bed in a flexible solution, which is able to emulate in a digitally chain three different RF power amplifier behaviors from input-output data extracted, providing the AM-AM and AM-PM distortion curves. The modeling based on ANFIS demonstrates a suitable performance through a reduced NMSE, and an adequate hardware resources utilization.

The DC-DC converter is primarily designed as converter station operating as part of a modified HVDC link which interconnects DC power into the AC system. Once the converter is mathematically described, a number of cases of study for open-loop and closed-loop conditions are presented. In order to confirm the DC power transfer, the modified HVDC link -using a 21-level MMC power station at the AC-side- is simulated. The experimental results are presented at final section.
