The field measurements are made in institutional building in order to find effective way to predict best positions for wireless sensor stations in Wireless Sensor Network. The Arduino is used to make effective and low-cost platform for experiments. The RF 868 MHz modules are used in order to avoid 2.4 GHz frequency range with lot of interference.

Once the cochlear implant is activated, obtaining a fitting that maximizes chances of complete rehabilitation is a long and difficult task, especially in the case of pediatric patients. Fitting protocols and principles vary from one specialist to another. Based on the experience gained through fitting of more than 150 patients, the paper introduces a new derived fitting parameter, the Effective Stimulation Threshold (EST), which represents the stimulation level evoking conscious hearing sensations to the patient upon free field sound stimulation. The paper also introduces the methodology to compute EST levels and presents preliminary observations on its importance and long term evolution. To help fitting procedures, the methodology is implemented by a software tool that loads the history of the maximum comfortable levels (MCL), threshold levels (THR), Maplaw settings and all registered audiograms, and computes the evolution of the EST levels of each individual electrode. Using the current EST levels, the newly registered audiograms and the intended new fitting settings introduced by the fitting specialist, the software predicts changes in the threshold hearing levels shown by the audiogram. The proposed solution is designed for MED-EL's Maestro Cochlear Implant system. However the presented concepts can be easily adapted to other cochlear implants.","PeriodicalId":312683,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Jubilee International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131885322","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}

Different approaches to perception and cognition of graphic notations can be measured and evaluated with the use of eye-tracking device.

Data captured from sensors are arriving continuously and for an efficient handling of this large volume of data stream processing would give the ideal solution [6]. Stream processing means that without intermediate storage the data should be processed as they are coming from the sensors. Storing and downloading data is a time-consuming mechanism, and during our investigation we have proved that data downloading time has significant impact on the overall execution of our health monitoring smart application. We have investigated the most common science gateway solution to examine the path that data takes from the outer storage to the executor node or the infrastructure and we have defined an execution model for smart system applications where the data movement is minimal.","PeriodicalId":312683,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Jubilee International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131179182","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}
