Several denoising methods have been proposed based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). Moreover, EMD is a successful tool for denoising. In this paper a review of comparative study of ECG signal denoising based on EMD and Thresholding Functions is presented. Five denoising algorithms (EMD-Conv, EMD-IT-Soft, EMD-IT-Hard, EMD-ITF and EMD-Custom) are applied on real ECG signals contaminated with different levels of white gaussian noise. EMD was applied to decompose adaptively a noisy signal into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). The noisy IMFs were denoised by thresholding functions. The performances are evaluated by measuring signal to noise ratio in dB and mean square error (MSE). EMD-Conv, EMD-IT-Soft, EMD-IT-Hard are used as references techniques. Simulation results show that the EMD-ITF and EMD-Custom approaches outperforms the conventional EMD methods.","PeriodicalId":407725,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130450913","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 chopping frequency is also designed carefully to avoid the noise aliasing effect, and modulator coefficients and circuit implementation have been optimized for low power. The modulator, implemented in a 150nm CMOS technology with a core area of 0.48mm 2, achieves a 107dB peak SNR and a 104dB peak SNDR over a 1kHz signal bandwidth.

Parachute training simulator designed parachute training with 3D virtual images are an effective addition to mastering all the necessary parachute dynamics and control by providing a real jump to the staff. The system provides real-time practicing the crucial skills under a wide range of weather conditions, wind and emergency situations while improving mission readiness and performance by using virtual reality with high resolution visual database. Parachute simulator training starts with free fall motion. After the parachute is turned on by the user, it is aimed to be controlled by the parachute control rivers (ripcord) to land at the specified point.

One of the most important safety concerns is excessive speed which results in accidents, injuries, death, as well as damage in public property. Therefore, the imposition of automatic speed is essential and important in municipality's arsenal to prevent and combat excessive speed. The speed control system that we used in this project depends on the ultrasonic radar. Where this radar unit is capable of tracking multiple vehicles together across multiple tracks. The system consists of an ultrasonic sensor, an Arduino board, and a webcam. Speed and location of vehicles are determined accurately by using ultrasonic sensor, and the distance is calculated over a simple period of time. The vehicles like ambulances were excluded from the speed limit because the speed is necessary in this case to save lives. In the proposed system, if the speed of the car reaches 95% of the specified speed limit of the road, the system will warn the driver by sending a light packet means will be punished if the speed exceeds. If the vehicle exceeds the predefined speed, the system will take a high-resolution digital image of the vehicle and the license plate. The image taken will be presented as a guide to the competent authorities as evidence of the detailed information (location of the event, maximum speed, time, date and speed of the car). By using this prototype speed control system, speed monitoring can be done through sensors, in efficient and cheaper way.","PeriodicalId":407725,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127254363","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 this paper, a single patch antenna element is corrugated in different ways and depths as a novel design geometry. As a building block in an array, the proposed geometry is studied in detail to investigate its effects on the well-known drawbacks of a microsrtip patch antenna, i.e. the fringing effects and the parasitic coupling arising between array elements. It is found that patch corrugations strongly affect the resonant frequency, so that, if properly controlled, they might compensate the arising fringing effect and almost eliminate the undesired coupling between antenna elements. And surprisingly, the cross-polarization levels in the H-plane (unacceptably high for some applications) are greatly reduced and can be eliminated to some extent on the cost of a slight reduction of the gain. Full-wave analysis simulations with HFSS (finite element) and Sonnet (MoM) software are used in the investigations.","PeriodicalId":407725,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125986357","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}
