Open-set recognition (OSR) has achieved significant importance in recent years. For a robust system, we need to identify the right class from myriad of knowns and unknowns. In this work, build compare OSR systems for patient activity (PAR) using compact radar sensors hospital setting. Radar are an important part privacy-preserving monitoring system. Specifically, proposed approach is based on d...

There is a paucity of data on the relationship between hospital procedure volume and outcomes after inpatient treatment symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to generate meaningful hypotheses support ongoing discussion. Data derived from BARMER, Germany’s second largest insurance provider, were linked with nationwide volumes mandatory quality reports. All endovascular ...

A low-voltage low-power discrete time sigma delta modulator for biomedical signal acquisition designed and implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS process is presented in this paper. This sigma delta modulator is designed using cascaded 3rd-order feedback form of integrator with the over sampling ratio (OSR) of 32. The experimental prototype chip achieves 55dB and 60dB dynamic range for 200Hz and 500Hz sig...

Oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus ) is a globally important crop which increasingly under pressure from pests, pathogens and weeds. We investigated the potential of achieving multifunctional protection benefits by intercropping oilseed with legumes. A field experiment was conducted in winter intercropped annual frost sensitive legumes berseem clover ( Trifolium alexandrinum or spring faba bean ...

Mass-flowering crops, such as oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus), provide pulses of nectar and pollen, helping to support pollinators their pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Despite value declining pollinators, varietal in-field OSR testing focusses on agronomic traits, with floral resources being largely overlooked. has a high turnover, consequently, resource data collected for ...

A 0.8V second order ∆Σ modulator is designed in 0.18μm bulk CMOS technology. Dynamic threshold MOSFET (DTMOS) technique is used to enhance the performance of the circuit building blocks at very low supply voltage. Schematic and post layout simulation results are provided. In case of the amplifier with the embedded CMFB, the measurement results are presented. The modulator can achieve a SNR of a...

The thesis presents design and implementation of components for recoding of signals between binary PCM and a bitstream representation. The bitstream representation enables real time signal processing using a power efficient algorithm for time-domain crosscorrelation. The greatest savings are made when the system is restricted to a low Oversampling Ratio (OSR). A fully digital Delta Sigma encode...

A number of problems in quantum state and system identification are addressed. Specifically, it is shown that the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach, already known to apply to quantum state tomography, is also applicable to quantum process tomography (estimating the Kraus operator sum representation (OSR)), Hamiltonian parameter estimation, and the related problems of state and proces...
