A subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) system has been recently developed with a lead just implanted under the skin instead of 1 or 2 transvenous leads traditionally implanted in a body. This may greatly reduce the complexity of the implantation procedure without or with less fluoroscopy, and avoid the complications due to transvenous leads. Although the safety and efficacy of the S-ICD has been evaluated in the clinical study, to date, a theoretical research has never been performed to study the conduction of the defibrillation currents in human bodies due to the defibrillation shocks of S-ICD systems. The conduction pattern of defibrillation currents may help improve the defibrillation effect through finding a better implantation site of the S-ICD generator or lead, and a better defibrillation protocol. As the defibrillation current or voltage in the body is impossible to be accurately measured due to the electrode polarization during the defibrillation shock, we performed the computer simulation to study the defibrillation effects of S-ICD systems in 4 suggested configurations. The defibrillation threshold (DFT) and myocardial damage for each configuration were estimated from the simulation results. The configuration with a left lateral pulse generator and an 8-cm coil electrode positioned at the left parasternal margin demonstrated the lowest DFT and minimum myocardial damage in the simulation. The simulation result of DFT is consistent with previous clinical studies, and the simulation method may serve as a tool to find an improved implantation configuration for an S-ICD system.","PeriodicalId":359404,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST)","volume":" 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132158747","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 following is an examination of several applications in which type 1 and 2 fuzzy logic has been utilized in artificial intelligence and machine learning problems to demonstrate their capabilities. In Fuzzy Logic Inferencing for PONG (FLIP), the effectiveness of type 1 logic is examined as an optimal controller for players in the game of PONG. Robotic collaboration is also developed as the PONG game was expanded into a multiplayer option. Collaborative Learning using Fuzzy Inferencing (CLIFF) is an extension of this PONG game, however type-2 logic is used to create a robotic coach that optimizes its players to beat its opponent in a development of layered fuzzy learning. Precision Route Optimization using Fuzzy Intelligence (PROFIT) examines the use of fuzzy logic as an optimizer in an algorithmic solution to a modified Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The TSP is modified in a way to better mimic a real-life scenario where footprints must be visited instead of simply points, which gives an interesting complexity to the problem. Considering the successes associated with these research endeavors, it can be concluded that type 1 and 2 fuzzy logic are both interesting tools that can further the abilities of intelligent systems and machine learning algorithms.","PeriodicalId":359404,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126530812","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}

To provide artificial awareness ability for machines, a bio-inspired salient environmental sound detection and recognition method is proposed. The salient sounds are detected by using the auditory saliency map which based on heterogeneous saliency features from visual and acoustic domain. Spectral and temporal saliency features from both power spectral density (PSD) and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) as well as the visual saliency from log-scale spectrogram are applied to yield the final auditory saliency for salient sound detection. To improve the detection accuracy, short-term Shannon entropy (SSE) and a computational inhibition of return (IOR) model are initially proposed to verify the temporal saliency characteristic. The detected salient sounds are classified by using the features which based on the fuzzy vector of spectral energy distribution and MFCC. A two-level classification is presented based on the support vector machine (SVM) for recognition task. Experiments are carried out on the real environmental sound examples. The results show that, over 83% recognition accuracy can be achieved by using proposed fuzzy vector based features, and the overall accuracy of 94.65% can be obtained when combined with MFCC based features.","PeriodicalId":359404,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114910302","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}
