Model GC1312S Multifunction Integrated Optical Circuit Devices

Model GC1312S multifunction integrated optical circuit device (MIOC) used in inertial grade interferometric fiber optics gyroscopes (IFOGs) is fabricated by annealing and proton exchange process (APE). The unique feature of the device is the incorporation of the beat detection circuit besides all the features the conventional single Y branch multifunction integrated optical circuit devices have. The device structure, operation principle and typical characteristics, etc., are briefly presented in this paper.

Music snippet extraction via melody-based repeated pattern discovery

In this paper, we present a complete set of procedures to automatically extract a music snippet, defined as the most representative or the highlighted excerpt of a music clip. We first generate a modified and compact similarity matrix based on selected features and distance metrics, and then several improved techniques for music repeated pattern discovery are utilized because a music snippet is usually a part of the repeated melody, main theme or chorus. During the process, redundant and wrongly detected patterns are discarded, boundaries are corrected using beat information, and final clusters are also further sorted according to the occurrence frequency and energy information. Subsequently, following our methods, we designed a music snippet extraction system which allows users to detect snippets. Experiments performed on the system show the superiority of our proposed approach.

A Construction Method of Personalized ECG Template and Its Application in Premature Ventricular Contraction Recognition for ECG Mobile Phones

Premature ventricular contraction(PVC) is the most frequent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. PVC may occur in health subjects, which is not imminently life-threatening but may require therapies to prevent further problems. So,the timely PVC recognition becomes very important for the analysis of electrocardiogram(ECG), especially for the remote ECG monitoring using mobile phones. In this paper,a construction method of personalized ECG template and a PVC recognition method based on template matching were studied. Firstly, we selected 43 ECG recordings from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. All recordings were divided into two datasets(DS1for training and DS2 for testing) and each dataset approximately contained the same proportion of PVC beats. Subsequently, for each recording(30 min) in DS1, the first5 min recordings were used to construct the personalized ECG template and the last25 min recordings were used for the R-wave peaks detection and PVC recognition,where the template matching method were used. The validity of the proposed methods was tested using DS2. The results showed that: 1) high beat detection accuracy was achieved for both PVC beats and non-PVC beats; 2) the sensitivity and specificity of PVC recognition were 99.11% and 99.96% for the first 5 min recordings respectively,99.17% and 99.43% for the last 25 min recordings respectively. All the proposed methods can be real-time performed, which show a promising prospect for the application of ECG mobile phones.
