The ECG, for example carries information about instantaneous heart frequency, based on heart rate variability. Changes in heart rate from beat to beat gives valuable diagnostic information about the autonomous nervous system status and the heart itself. The paper describes a method of analysis of heart rate variability in frequency and time-frequency domain. In order to compare alternative results four basic methods were chosen, namely: Welch, Burg, Lomb-Scargle method and Wavelet transform.","PeriodicalId":343071,"journal":{"name":"2012 ELEKTRO","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124294467","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}

With the SA strategy, we proposed a two-rate flight control procedure using two autonomous control subsystems to address the dynamics variation and performance requirement difference in initial and final stages of flight trajectory for an unmanned helicopter model with coaxial rotor and ducted fan configuration. This control strategy for chosen model of TUAV has been verified by simulation of flight maneuvers using software package Simulink and demonstrated good performance for fast stabilization of engines during flight, consequently, fast SA with economy in energy can be asserted during search-and-rescue operations.","PeriodicalId":343071,"journal":{"name":"2012 ELEKTRO","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134382596","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}

In conventional eddy current NDE, where the harmonic excitation is used, the optimal inspection frequency for detection and evaluation of expected defects depends on material thickness and its electromagnetic properties. In PEC a single pulse can, in principle, generate a wide range of frequency components. This study concerns evaluation of pulse shape and its width on resolution of defects with different depths. Different excitation waveforms contain wide spectrum of frequencies, therefore the resolution of defects could vary. Resolution of defects with various depths based on difference signal is then investigated for various pulsed waveforms while the width of pulses is varied as well. The presented results show the dependencies on pulse width and shape.","PeriodicalId":343071,"journal":{"name":"2012 ELEKTRO","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132379767","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}
