Two of Zeeman’s heartbeat models are investigated and modified by adding the control input as a pacemaker, thereby creating the control-affine nonlinear system models that capture the general heartbeat behavior of the human heart. The control objective is to force the output of the heartbeat models to track and generate a synthetic electrocardiogram (ECG) signal based on the actual patient reference data, obtained from the William Beaumont Hospitals, Michigan, and the PhysioNet database. The formulations of the proposed heartbeat tracking control systems consist of two phases: analysis and synthesis. In the analysis phase, nonlinear controls based on input-output feedback linearization are considered. This approach simplifies the difficult task of developing nonlinear controls. In the synthesis phase, observer-based controls are employed, where the unmeasured state variables are estimated for practical implementations. These observer-based nonlinear feedback control schemes may be used as a control strategy in electronic pacemakers. In addition, they could be used in a software-based approach to generate a synthetic ECG signal to assess the effectiveness of diagnostic ECG signal processing devices.展开更多

In Hadoop based scalable computing setup, malfunctioning nodes generate wrong output during the run time. To detect such nodes, we create collaborative network between worker node (i.e. data node of Hadoop) and Master node (i.e. name node of Hadoop) with the help of trusted heartbeat framework (THF). We propose procedures to register node and to alter status of node based on reputation provided by other co-worker nodes.展开更多

The extraction is based on the assumption that a disjoint band of frequencies exist and foetal signal is concentrated in this band, and further that it can be represented conveniently as a set of wavelet coefficients. The algorithm has been applied to each stream of data obtained from six different channels and the detection performance is elaborated. The algorithm has also been tested on signals from non-pregnant abdomens to show successful rejection of adult heartbeat. The extraction of the desired signal is done in two stages so as to eliminate components from the maternal heart-beat.展开更多

Early detection and treatment is important to reduce night-time events. We clarified the characteristics of the dynamic nature of heartbeats associated with periodic breathing by using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). We analyzed heartbeats in eight recordings from the MIT-BIH Polysomnographic database. We observed two crossover points and defined three scaling exponents, β1 (n ≤ 40 beats), β2 (50 ≤ n ≤ 200), and β3 (251 ≤ n ≤ 1584). Compared with β1 (1.21 ± 0.13) and β3 (0.92 ± 0.16), scaling exponent β2 (0.62 ± 0.16) showed the statistically lowest value (p 0.05). And there was a negative relationship between the scaling exponent β2 and apnea/hypopnea index (p 0.05). These results indicate that DFA analysis of heartbeats may be useful for the early detection of sleep associated breathing disorders including sleep apnea and its severity.展开更多

Both methods can soon use up system resource and potentially reduce the availability of system. A fault Detection Protocol based on Heartbeat of multiple Master-nodes (DPHM) is proposed, which can immediately and accurately detect and locate faulty links by adopting voting and electing mechanism among master-nodes. Thus, DPHM can effectively improve availability of system. In addition, in contrast with other detection protocols, DPHM reduces greatly the detection cost due to the structure of master-nodes.展开更多
