The synchronous tuning of the self-oscillating wireless power transfer (WPT) in a close-coupling condition is studied in this paper. The Hamel locus is applied to predict the self-oscillating points in the WPT system. In order to make the system operate stably at the most efficient point, which is the middle resonant point when there are middle resonant and split frequency points caused by freq...

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio network in which energy constrained secondary users (SUs) can harvest energy from the randomly deployed power beacons (PBs). A new frame structure is proposed for the considered network. A wireless power transfer (WPT) model and a compressive spectrum sensing model are introduced. In the WPT model, a new WPT scheme is proposed, and the closed-form ex...

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a promising technology for direct diagnosis of the entire small bowel to detect lethal diseases, including cancer and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). To improve the quality of diagnosis, some vital specifications of WCE such as image resolution, frame rate and working time need to be improved. Additionally, future multi-functioning robotic capsule e...

This paper proposes a watermarking embedding and extracting methods in the frequency domain based on a selection of a high frequency range containing large amount of information. The selected high-frequency range contributes to the imperceptibility of the watermark while the robustness against compression is achieved because the selected frequency range contains large amount of information. The...

Multisensor data fusion is a powerful solution for solving difficult pattern recognition problems such as the classification of bioelectrical signals. It is the process of combining information from different sensors to provide a more stable and more robust classification decisions. We combine here data fusion with multiresolution analysis based on the wavelet packet transform (WPT) in order to...

A highly efficient class E power amplifier is demonstrated for application to wireless power transfer system. The amplifier is designed with an L-type matching at the output for harmonic rejection and output matching. The power loss and the effect of each component in the amplifier with the matching circuit are analyzed with the current ratio transmitted to the output load. Inductors with a qua...

Maximum power transfer tracking (MPTT) is meant to track the maximum power point during the system operation of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. Traditionally, MPTT is achieved by impedance matching at the secondary side when the load resistance is varied. However, due to a loosely coupling characteristic, the variation of coupling coefficient will certainly affect the performance of impe...

Near-best and best wavelet packet transforms were compared with wavelet transforms for the compression of polysomnograms in a low bitrate telemonitoring application. Near-best wavelet packet transforms provided better overall performance with respect to efficiency of computation and compression, and amenability for use in more sophisticated quality-on-demand algorithms. Keywords— near-best base...
