Wavelets and wavelet packets decompose dynamic signal into different bands and pro- vide multiresolution or multiscale view of signal. Autoregressive technique possesses effective function for short data processing. The approach is abopted to analyse nonstationary vibration sig- nals of mining excavator. The results indicate that nonstationary operating condition can be moni- tored and diagnosed. Transient toothmeshing frequency and rotating speed are measured. Weak vibration signal of defective ball bearing is extracted from strong vibration of gearbox and diag- nosed successfully. This approach is effective for nonstationary condition monitoring and early di- agnosis of latent fault.展开更多

Visual acuity, optometry, visual field,slit-lamp microscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy(20D), optical coherence tomography(OCT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) were performed. Venous blood was sampled for detection of autoimmune antibodies and Aquaporin(AQP-4).Results:.Fifty nine cases were diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica-related optic neuritis.(NMO-ON),.27 Sjogren's syndrome-related optic neuropathy,.22 tumors,.21 anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, 15 radiation-induced optic neuropathy, 14 optic neuropathy-related infection, 17 genetic eye diseases and 10 open angle glaucoma. Among168 MS-ON patients undergoing optic nerve MRI,90 cases(53.57%) had a lesion < 15 mm in size, 15-30 mm in 76(45.24%) and > 30 mm in two(1.19%).Conclusion:.MS-ON is more commonly misdiagnosed with NMO-ON and Sjogren's syndrome, when compared to optic neuropathy, tumors and ischemic optic neuropathy.展开更多
