Methods Image fusion technology was applied to biological cell imaging processing. It could match the images and improve the confidence and spatial resolution of the images. Using two algorithms, double thresholds algorithm and denoising algorithm based on wavelet transform,the fluorescence image and transmission image of a Cell were merged into a composite image. Results and Conclusion The position of fluorescence and the structure of cell can be displyed in the composite image. The signal-to-noise ratio of the exultant image is improved to a large extent. The algorithms are not only useful to investigate the fluorescence and transmission images, but also suitable to observing two or more fluoascent label proes in a single cell.展开更多

Methods： Patients with duodenal protruding lesions who were indicated for PUS were examined by PUS with 12-15 MHz miniature ultrasonic probes and double-cavity electronic endoscope. According to diagnosis of PUS, those patients were indicated for biopsy and treatment received biopsy, endoscopic resection or surgical excision. The postoperative histological results were compared with the preoperative diagnosis of PUS. Those patients without endoscopic resection or surgical excision were periodically followed up with PUS. Results： A total of 169 patients with duodenal protruding lesions were examined by PUS, of which 40 were diagnosed with cysts, 36 with inflammatory protruding or polyp, 25 with Brunner＇s gland adenoma, 19 with ectopic pancreas, 17 with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, 12 with extrinsic compression, 12 with minor papilla, 6 with lipoma, 1 with adenocarcinoma and 1 with lymphoma. After PUS examinations, 75 patients received biopsy, endoscopic resection or surgical excision respectively. The postoperative histological results of 70 patients were completely consistent with the preoperative diagnosis of PUS, with 93.33% diagnostic accuracy. The results of follow-up with PUS indicated that duodenal cyst, Brunner＇s gland adenoma, ectopic pancreas, gastrointestinal stromal tumor and lipoma remained unchanged within 1-3 years. No related complications occurred among all patients that received PUS examinations. Conclusion： PUS is an effective and reliable diagnostic method for duodenal protruding lesions.展开更多

We first analyze the multiple noises in the full duplex radio system and model such noises as an α - stable distribution. Then we formulate a novel non-Gaussian SI problem. Under the maximum correntropy criterion （MCC）, a robust digital non-linear self-interference cancellation algorithm is proposed for the SI channel estimation. A gradient descent based algorithm is derived to search the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a smaller estimation error and a higher pseudo signal to interference plus noise ratio （PSINR） than the well-known least mean square （LMS） algorithm and least square （LS） algorithm.展开更多

The core parameter in this algorithm is the Background Noise Power (BNP); in the estimation of BNP, the power difference between the desired signal and the filter output, statistically equaling to the error signal power, has been widely used in a rough manner. In this study, a precise BNP estimate is implemented by multiplying the rough estimate with a corrective factor, taking into consideration the fact that the error signal consists of background noise and misalignment noise. This corrective factor is obtained by subtracting half of the latest VSS value from 1 after analyzing the ratio of BNP to the misalignment noise. Based on the precise BNP estimate, the PVSS-NLMS algorithm suitable for the EC system is eventually proposed. In practice, the proposed algorithm exhibits a significant advantage of easier controllability application, as prior knowledge of the EC environment can be neglected. The simulation results support the preciseness of the BNP estimation and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Transmission loss predictions from the time-domain CFD approach and the frequency-domain finite element method(FEM) agree well with each other for the dual expansion chamber silencer, straight-through and cross-flow perforated tube silencers without flow. Then, the time-domain CFD approach is used to investigate the effect of flow on the acoustic attenuation characteristics of perforated tube silencers. The numerical predictions demonstrate that the mean flow increases the transmission loss, especially at higher frequencies, and shifts the transmission loss curve to lower frequencies.展开更多

Under the condition that noisy impulse response signals associated with multiple input and output locations have been measured, the primary objective of this study is to apply the local or global noise removal technique for improving the modal identification based on the polyreference time domain (PTD) method. While the traditional PTD method improves modal parameter estimation by over-specifying the computational model order to absorb noise, this paper proposes an approach using the actual system order as the computational model order and rejecting much noise prior to performing modal parameter estimation algorithms. Two noise removal approaches are investigated: a "local" approach which removes noise from one signal at a time, and a "global" approach which removes the noise of multiple measured signals simultaneously. The numerical investigation in this article is based on experimental measurements from two test setups: a cantilever beam with 3 inputs and 10 outputs, and a hanged plate with 4 inputs and 32 outputs. This paper demonstrates that the proposed noise-rejection method outperforms the traditional noise-absorption PTD method in several crucial aspects.展开更多

In general, the inner energy of noise pixels is close to zero because the magnitude of gradient and the direction of the noise pixels are random. Therefore, the inner energy can effectively eliminate the influence of noise on image quality assessment. But the gradients of near edge points are consistent with those of edge points, so the inner energy of edge pixels is relatively large, and the detail information of the image can be highlighted. Experimental results indicate that compared with traditional methods, the proposed method has higher accuracy, fewer local peaks, stronger robustness and better practicability. In particular, the evaluation results are close to the subjective evaluation of the human eyes. These results illustrate that the proposed method can be applied in automatic focusing.展开更多
