This paper presents an intelligent diagnostic supporting system – iDiaKAW (Intelligent and Interactive Knowledge Acquisition Workbench), which automatically extracts useful knowledge from massive medical data to support real medical diagnosis. In which, our two novel pre-processing algorithms MIDCA (Multivariate Interdependent Discretization for Continuousvalued Attributes) and LUIFS (Latent Ut...

Status quo sudden environmental accidents occur frequently, in order to meet the needs of environmental risk management, designed weather and atmospheric environmental risk source monitoring system, the feature could easily cause a major environmental risk material incidents from the monitoring indicator system, monitoring distribution scheme, monitoring technology, monitoring data acquisition ...

We consider the problem of continuous quantum measurement of coherent oscillations between two quantum states of an individual two-state system. It is shown that the interplay between the information acquisition and the backaction dephasing of the oscillations by the detector imposes a fundamental limit, equal to four, on the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement. The limit is universal, e.g...

The aim of this paper is to study the use of a robust acquisition system based on a microphone array for speech related applications in real situations. A comparison is performed between two beamforming methods: the Delay and Sum beamforming (DS) and the Spatial Reference Optimal beamforming (SRO). Both of them are frequency domain designed, using harmonic spatial distributed microphones. The q...

This work describes a bio-potential acquisition system for portable ubiquitous healthcare applications using flexible polydimethylsiloxane dry electrodes (FPDEs) and a low-power recording circuit. This novel FPDE used Au as the skin contact layer, which was made using a CO2 laser and replica method technology. The FPDE was revised from a commercial bio-potential electrode with a conductive snap...
