A new equalization method for perpendicular magnetic recording channels is proposed. The proposed equalizer incorporates the Gaussian sum approximation into a Kalman filtering framework to mitigate inter-symbol interference in perpendicular magnetic recording systems. The proposed equalizer consists of a bank of linear equalizers using the Kalman filtering algorithm and its output is obtained by combining the outputs of linear equalizers through the Gaussian sum approximation.

In this paper, the design of the in-motion alignment system of Strapdown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) using Robust Extended Kalman Filter(REKF) is presented. The compensation of errors in the aided navigation system is accomplished by the indirect feedback filtering. The performance of the aided navigation algorithm is very sensitive to the accuracy of the initial estimate, which is the characteristic of the EKF. Unfortunately, the initial attitude error can be very large during the in-motion alignment. To overcome the in-motion alignment under large initial attitude error problem, the REKF using linear robust filtering technique is proposed. The linear robust H$_2$ filter can be adopted for nonlinear ...

in information retrieval, lack of positive examples is a main cause of poor performance. In this case most learning algorithms may not characteristics in the data to low recall. To solve the problem of unbalanced data, we propose a boosting method that uses linear perceptrons as weak learnrs. The perceptrons are trained on local data sets. The proposed algorithm is applied to text filtering problem for which only a small portion of positive examples is available. In the experiment on category crude of the Reuters-21578 document set, the boosting method achieved the recall of 80.8%, which is 37.2% improvement over multilayer with comparable precision.

The most important features of linear soil-foundation-structure interaction are reviewed, using stochastic modeling and considering kinematic interaction, inertial interaction, and structural distortion as three separate stages of the dynamic response to the free-field motion. The way in which each of the three dynamic stages modifies the spectral density of the motion is studied, with the emphasis being on interpretation of these results, rather than on the development of new analysis techniques. Structural distortion and inertial interaction analysis are shown to be precisely modeled as linear filtering operations. Kinematic interaction, though, is more complicated, even though it has a filter-like effect on the frequency content of the motion.

The design method of H$\infty$ filter for discrete-time uncertain linear systems with multiple state delays is investigated. The uncertain parameters are assumed to be unknown but belonging to known convex compact set of polytope type less conservative than norm bounded parameter uncertainty. The modified H$\infty$ performance measure is introduced to consider the initial states values which affect the performance of filter. The objective is to design a stable H$\infty$ filter guaranteeing asymptotic stability of filtering error dynamics and minimizing H$\infty$ norm bound. The sufficient condition for the existence of filter and the filter design method are established by LMI (linear matrix inequality) approach.

These days, many image processing techniques have been studied for effective image compression. Among those, The 2D image filtering is widely used for 2D image processing. The 2D image filtering can be implemented by performing the 1D linear filter separately in the horizontal and vertical direction. Efficiency of image compression depends on what filtering method is used. Generally, circular convolution is widely used in 2D image filtering for image processing. However it doesn't consider correlations at the boundary region of image, therefore effective filtering can not be performed. To solve this problem. I proposed new convolution technique using loop convolution which satisfies the 'alias-free' and 'error-free' requirement in the reconstructed image. This method could provide more effective compression performance than former methods because it used highly-correlated data when performed at the boundary region. In this paper, Sub-band Coding(SBC) was adopted to analyze efficiency of proposed filtering technique, and the simulator developed by Java-based language was used to examine the performance of proposed method.

A real-time, continuous-scale image interpolation method is proposed based on bi-linear interpolation with directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. The proposed algorithm has been optimized for hardware implementation. The original bi-linear interpolation method has blocking artifact. The proposed algorithm solves this problem using directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. It can also solve the severely problem by selection choosing low-pass filter coefficients. Therefore the proposed interpolation algorithm can realize a high-quality image scaler for various imaging systems, such as digital camera, CCTV and digital flat panel display, to name a few.

The robust generalized H2 filtering problem for a class of discrete time uncertain linear systems satisfying the sum quadratic constraints(SQCs) is considered. The objective of this paper is to develop robust stability condition using SQCs and design a robust generalized Ha filter to take place of the existing robust Kalman filter. The robust generalized H2 filter is designed based on newly derived robust stability condition. The robust generalized Ha filter bounds the energy to peak gain from the energy bounded exogenous disturbances to the estimation errors under the given positive scalar ${\gamma}$. Unlike the robust Lalman filter, it does not require any spectral assumptions about the exogenous disturbances . Therefore the robust generalized H2 filter can be considered as a deterministic formulation of the robust Kalman filter. Moreover, the variance of the estimation error obtained by the proposed filter is lower than that by the existing robust Kalman filter. The robustness of the robust generalized H2 filter against the uncertainty and the exogenous signal is illustrated by a simple numerical example.

Background: This study aims to assess whether the TSI PortaCount (Model 8020) is a measuring instrument comparable with the flame photometer. This would provide an indication for the suitability of the PortaCount for determining the workplace protection factor for particulate filtering facepiece respirators. Methods: The PortaCount (with and without the N95-Companion^TM) was compared with a stationary flame photometer from Moores (Wallisdown) Ltd (Type 1100), which is a measuring instrument used in the procedure for determining the total inward leakage of the particulate filtering facepiece respirator in the European Standard. Penetration levels of sodium chloride aerosol through sample respirators of two brands (A and B) were determined by the two measuring systems under laboratory conditions. For each brand, thirty-six measurements were conducted. The samples were split into groups according to their protection level, conditioning before testing, and aerosol concentration. The relationship between the gauged data from two measuring systems was determined. In addition, the particle size distribution inside the respirator and outside the respirator was documented. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the association between the PortaCount (with and without the N95-Companion^TM) and the flame photometer. Results: A linear relationship was found between the raw data scaled with the PortaCount (without N95-Companion^TM) and the data detected by the flame photometer (R² = 0.9704) under all test conditions. The distribution of particle size was found to be the same inside and outside the respirator in almost all cases. Conclusion: Based on the obtained data, the PortaCount may be applicable for the determination of workplace protection factor.

In order to develop a one-axis gimbaled acoustic source tracker for mobile robots, a pseudo-linear direction of arrival(DOA) estimator is proposed using a linear ultrasonic sensor array. Under the assumption that the sensor measurement errors are negligible, a linear measurement model is derived using the linear prediction relation of the received sinusoidal acoustic signals. Applying the Kalman filtering technique for this model, the linear recursive DOA estimator is designed. For its linear recursive filter structure, it is preferable for real-time implementation on a commercial DSP. Through the experiments, the effectiveness of the suggested method is demonstrated.
