in this paper some new applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) and hilbert spectrum in seismic ground-roll attenuation, random noise attenuation and spectral decomposition are introduced. hilbert spectrum is a time-frequency representation for hilbert-huang transform which is obtained by combination of instantaneous frequency (if) concept and intrinsic mode function of empirical mode...

quantification of arterial elasticity and its dependency to age is considered in this paper. we use radiofrequency (rf) signals fromcarotid artery ultasonography to evaluate this dependency. blood pressure, blood flow, and tethering to surrounding tissue are the maincauses of the motion of the carotid wall. tracking carotid artery wall motion from a series of ultrasound b‑mode images is challen...

based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. however, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. to resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...
