Background and Objectives: Although a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) patch may provide advantages for detecting arrhythmias in outpatient settings owing to user convenience, its comparative effectiveness for real-time telemonitoring in inpatient settings remains unclear. We aimed to compare a novel telemonitoring system using a single-lead ECG patch with a conventional telemonitoring system in an inpatient setting. Methods: This was a single-center, prospective cohort study. Patients admitted to the cardiology unit for arrhythmia treatment who required a wireless ECG telemonitoring system were enrolled. A single-lead ECG patch and conventional telemetry were applied simultaneously in hospitalized patients for over 24 hours for real-time telemonitoring. The basic ECG parameters, arrhythmia episodes, and signal loss or noise were compared between the 2 systems. Results: Eighty participants (mean age 62±10 years, 76.3% male) were enrolled. The three most common indications for ECG telemonitoring were atrial fibrillation (66.3%), sick sinus syndrome (12.5%), and atrioventricular block (10.0%). The intra-class correlation coefficients for detecting the number of total beats, atrial and ventricular premature complexes, maximal, average, and minimal heart rates, and pauses were all over 0.9 with p values for reliability <0.001. Compared to a conventional system, a novel system demonstrated significantly lower signal noise (median 0.3% [0.1-1.6%] vs. 2.4% [1.4-3.7%], p<0.001) and fewer episodes of signal loss (median 22 [2-53] vs. 64 [22-112] episodes, p=0.002). Conclusions: The novel telemonitoring system using a single-lead ECG patch offers performance comparable to that of a conventional system while significantly reducing signal loss and noise.

뇌전도 분석에 의한 제어신호의 검출은 다양한 분야에 활용될 수 있다. 다채널 뇌파 연구는 측정 시스템이 복잡해지고 착용이 불편해진다는 단점이 있어서 본 논문에서는 실용적인 응용을 우선으로 하였고 단 채널 기반으로 집중에 의한 on/off 제어 신호를 신뢰성 있게 검출할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 평상시 휴식 상태와 집중하였을 때의 알파, 베타 및 세타파의 대역 신호를 분석하였으며 이 때 파워스펙트럼과 히스토그램에서의 차이를 검출하였다. 세타파를 이용하였을 때 보다 베타/세타를 이용해 집중력 검출을 하는 것이 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 세타파만을 이용하였을 때보다 평균 검출 시간이 단축되었으며 또한 집중 전 휴식시간이 길어질수록 검출 성공률이 낮아지며, 검출 시간도 상대적으로 길어졌다. 휴식시간 10초의 경우 개인마다 검출 성능의 차이는 있었지만 평균 91%의 검출 성공률과 검출 시간은 평균 20.2초의 결과를 얻었다.

We measured radial arterial pulse signals using a prototype of a clip-type pulsimeter equipped with a permanent magnet and a Hall device, which produced signals through a voltage-detecting circuit. The systolic peak time and the reflective peak time for a temporally pulsed signal were analyzed for an arbitrary pulse wave at one position of a small permanent magnet. The measured value of the peripheral pulse wave velocity was about 1.25-1.52 m/s, demonstrating the accuracy of this new method. To measure the peripheral blood flow velocity, we simultaneously connected the radial artery pulsimeter to a photoplethysmography meter. The average value of the peripheral blood flow velocity was about 0.27-0.50 m/s.

In this paper, two pre-filtering techniques are presented for accurately estimating the impact location of a loose part. The reason why a pre-filterng technique Is necessary in a Loose Part Monitoring System is that the effects of background noise on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) can be reduced considerably resulting in improved estimation accuracy. The first method is to take d moving average operation in the time domain. The second one is to adopt band-pass filters designed in the frequency domain such as a Butterworth filter, Chebyshev filter I & II and an Elliptic Filter. To show the effectiveness, the impact test data (signals) from the YGN3 power plant are first preprocessed and then used to estimate the loose pan impact position. Resultantly. we observed that SNR is much improved and the average estimation error is below 7.5%.

The Loose Part Monitoring System(LPMS) has been designed to detect. locate and evaluate detached or loosened parts and foreign objects in the reactor coolant system. In this paper, at first, we presents an application of the back propagation neural network. At the preprocessing step, the moving window average filter is adopted to reject the reject the low frequency background noise components. And then, extracting the acoustic signature such as Starting point of impact signal. Rising time. Half period. and Global time, they are used as the inputs to neural network . Secondly, we applied the neural network algorithm to LPMS in order to estimate the mass of loose parts. We trained the impact test data of YGN3 using the backpropagation method. The input parameter for training is Rising clime. Half Period amplitude. The result shored that the neural network would be applied to LPMS. Also, applying the neural network to thin practical false alarm data during startup and impact test signal at nuclear power plant, the false alarms are reduced effectively.

The energy constraint is still a common issue for the practical application of wireless sensors, since they are usually powered by batteries which limit their lifetime. In this paper, a practical compound energy efficiency strategy is proposed and realized in the implementation of a real time wireless sensor platform. The platform is intended for wireless structural monitoring applications and consists of three parts, wireless sensing unit, base station and data acquisition and configuration software running in a computer within the Matlab environment. The high energy efficiency of the wireless sensor platform is achieved by a proposed adaptive radio transmission power control algorithm, and some straightforward methods, including adopting low power ICs and high efficient power management circuits, low duty cycle radio polling and switching off radio between two adjacent data packets' transmission. The adaptive transmission power control algorithm is based on the statistical average of the path loss estimations using a moving average filter. The algorithm is implemented in the wireless node and relies on the received signal strength feedback piggybacked in the ACK packet from the base station node to estimate the path loss. Therefore, it does not need any control packet overheads. Several experiments are carried out to investigate the link quality of radio channels, validate and evaluate the proposed adaptive transmission power control algorithm, including static and dynamic experiments.

본 논문에서 부분 전송 수열(partial transmit sequence; PTS) 방법은 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(OFDM) 신호중 최대전력 대 평균전력의 비(PAPR)가 가장 작은 신호를 찾기 위해서 위상벡터(phase rotating vector)를 OFDM 신호와 곱하여 후보신호를 생성한다. 그러나 이는 소모적인 탐색으로 많은 계산량이 요구된다. 이 문제의 해결을 위해 우리는 두가지의 효과적인 저복잡도 PTS를 파고율(crest factor)를 기준으로 제안한다. 첫 번째 제안하는 방법은 OFDM 신호안에서 크기가 큰 샘플만을 선택하여 PAPR을 계산하는 방법이며, 두 번째 방법은 부분블록(subblock)들에 있는 각 샘플들의 실수부와 허수부의 절대값을 구하여 PAPR을 계산하는 방법이다. 모의실험결과는 제안하는 기법이 기존 PTS 방법보다 더 나은 PAPR 감소 성능을 보여준다.

With the recent development of hardware and software technology, interest in the development of wearable devices is increasing. In particular, wearable devices require algorithms suitable for low-power and low-capacity embedded devices. Among them, there is an increasing demand for a signal compression algorithm that reduces communication overhead, in order to increase the efficiency of storage and transmission of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals requiring long-time measurement. Because normal beats occupy most of the signal with similar shapes, a high rate of signal compression is possible if normal beats are represented by a template. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for determining the normal beat template using the template cluster and Pearson similarity. Also, the template is expressed effectively as a few vertices through linear approximation algorithm. In experiment of Datum 234 of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (MIT-BIH ADB) provided by Physionet, a compression ratio was 33.44:1, and an average distribution of root mean square error (RMSE) was 1.55%.

본 논문에서는 그레인 잡음을 제거하기 위해서 웨이브렛 변환(wavelet transform)에 근간을 둔 웨이브렛 적응 필터(WLMS adaptive filter : Wavelet domain Least Mean Square adaptive filter)를 사용하였다. 보통 그레인 잡음은 고온의 환경에서 금속의 결정구조가 변화함에 따라 발생된다. 웨이브렛 평면에서의 적응 필터링은 필터의 입력신호를 직교 변환하여 입력으로 이용함으로써 수렴 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 적응 필터의 기준 입력 신호는 원시 입력 신호를 지연시킨 신호를 이용하였으며, 적응 필터의 출력은 다시 CA-CFAR(Cell Average - Constant False Alarm Rate) 임계 추정기(threshold estimator)를 거쳐 자동적으로 원하는 신호부분만 나타내도록 하였다. 우선 신호의 통계적 특성을 알기 위하여 run 테스트를 수행하여 기준 입력 신호가 비정상성(nonstationarity)을 나타냄을 보였고, 웨이브렛 적응필터가 시평면 적응필터보다 수렴속도면에서 우수함을 보였으며, 각 적응 필터의 출력신호에 대해서 신호대 잡음비를 통해 성능평가를 하였다. 시평면 적응 필터링 후에는 신호대 잡음비가 2-3㏈ 향상을 보였고, 반면 웨이브렛 적응 필터링후에는 신호대 잡음비가 4-6㏈ 향상을 보였다.
