The detection of the R wave is the first step in any automatic analysis of the ECG. In this paper, we propose a new method based on a preprocessing of ECG signal in order to restore and enhance it properly. For this purpose, we use the intrinsic components issues from the empirical modal decomposition. To emphasize and extract R waves, we proceed to a decomposition of ECG signal by bionic wavelet transform. Finally thresholding time/amplitude is applied to determine the position of the R-wave. The algorithm tests have been carried out on the signals QT database.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123383576","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}

Hence, three different structures with permanent magnet are analysed by finite element method in aim to evaluate the propulsive force versus the mobile displacement. The magnetic flux distribution and the force profile of each hybrid structure are presented and discussed. The analysis of different actuator structures allows the selection of the proper structure for the specific requested application.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132552519","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}

It provides bidirectional energy flow and informational in real time between all actors in the network. The Smart Grid is now the state of experimental design and there is no industrial sector itself. It reigns including greater uncertainty about the standard technology of tomorrow and it is difficult to have a universal model of Smart Grid frozen in time. The evolution of smart device and the news protocols open more research in this field in order to achieve a standard architecture of telecommunication in a smart grid. In addition to the currently wired standards and protocols used, new wireless approaches should be study. In order to address this issue, this paper proposes Network Architecture of Smart Grid Communication by deploying wireless protocols consisting of 802.15.4 ZigBee, 802.11, and the WiMAX standards. These are applied at different levels of the architecture as the Wide Area Network (WAN), Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and the Home Area Network (HAN). For this architecture to be more robust, reliable and efficient, more characteristics of these protocols will be studied and simulated in this article.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130156004","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}

The corruption of speech due to the presence of additive noise causes its degradation in quality and intelligibility. To filter this distorted signal in its spatial representation is a hard task. This task is more difficult to realize if the distortion are caused by colored noise. In addition using a static filter is not efficient due to the speech signal variability. In the same sentence a phoneme can change in shape and amplitude. For these constraints, we propose to apply a low-pass filter with Gaussian core supervised by neural networks. Filtering strength changes continuously with the phoneme variation to generate a variable filter that change over the whole sentence.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130446887","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}

The lower proficiency in reading, writing and understanding the spoken language may be one of the most important reasons. Certainly, if there were a commonly accepted notation system for sign languages, signed information could be provided in written form, but such a system does not exist yet. SignWriting seems at present the best solution to the problem of SL representation as it was intended as a practical writing system for everyday communication, but requires mastery of a set of conventions different from those of the other transcriptions systems to become a proficient reader or writer. To provide additional support for deaf signers to learn and use such notation, we propose in this paper a new tool for displaying SW notation content, automatically, in visual-gestural modality by using a 3D signing avatar. The notation is provided as input in an XML based format called SWML (SignWriting Markup Language). Such tool can help the deaf to grasp and interact with the transcribing data through a more user-friendly environment.","PeriodicalId":212631,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Software Applications","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134240867","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}

It allows studying a wide range of ferromagnetic material hysteresis loops which justify in this work our choice for this model. In order to determine these five model parameters, we have to numerically analyze experimental data from the material hysteresis loop.
