Voltage break point and magnitude are extracted by detecting arc voltage singularity through the modulus maximum wavelet (MMW) method. A novel threshold algorithm, which compromises the hard-threshold wavelet (HTW) and soft-threshold wavelet (STW) methods, is investigated to eliminate welding current noise. Finally, advantages over traditional wavelet methods are verified by both simulation and experimental results.展开更多

Methods Papillary muscle was exercised from the right ventricle and was paced at 1 Hz. Biphasic square wave current pulse was delivered during the absolute refractory period (called CCM) in isolated, superfused, isometrically contractility rabbit papillary muscle. The peak tension (PT) of papillary muscle, as well as maximum positive tension change ( + dT/dtmax), were observed. Results Compared with the baseline, both PT and + dT/dtmax significantly increased during CCM stimulation by 18.2% and 21.4% respectively (P < 0. 05) . In addition, PT increased significantly with one or two beats following CCM signal application and reached a. new steady state level after a few beats. Once the CCM signals were turned off, the PT returned to the approximately baseline level ( P < 0. 05). Moreover, the effect of CCM on PT was dose - response to voltage. The obvious effect was at higher voltage. No effect was observed at lower voltage. Conclusions Electric signals delivered during the absolute refractory period can rapidly enhance the contractility of myocardium, which suggests that CCM signal is a novel potent method for contractility modulation.展开更多

This can be achieved by analyzing in natural time the seismicity in the candidate area. To apply this general procedure, we need two important elements: first, to know when we should start the analysis, i.e., set the natural time equal to zero. This is the time at which the system enters the critical stage. Second a reliable estimation of the candidate epicentral area. If geoelectrical measurements are taken and the VAN method (after the initials of the three researchers Varotsos, Alexopoulos and Nomicos)is applied, both these elements become available upon the recording of a precursory Seismic Electric Signals (SES) activity, because its initiation marks the time when the system enters the critical stage, and in addition the SES data enable the determination of the epicentral area of the impending mainshock. On the other hand, if geoelectrical data are lacking, we make use of the following two recent findings by means of natural time analysis: First, the fluctuations of the order parameter of seismicity in a large area exhibit a minimum a few months before a major earthquake almost simultaneously with the initiation of an SES activity. Second, a spatiotemporal study of this minimum unveils an estimate of the epicentral area of the impending major earthquake. Two examples are given that refer to the strongest earthquakes that occurred in Greece and Japan during the last 3 decades, i.e., the Mw6.9 earthquake in southwestern Greece on 14 February 2008 and the Mw9.0 Tohoku earthquake in Japan on 11 March 2011.展开更多

If we do not consider this analysis, important precursory changes cannot be identified and hence are missed. Natural time analysis has the privilege that enables the introduction of an order parameter of seismicity. In this frame, we find that the fluctuations of this parameter exhibit an unprecedented characteristic change, i.e., an evident minimum, approximately two months before Tohoku earthquake, which strikingly is almost simultaneous with unique anomalous geomagnetic field variations recorded mainly on the z component. This is consistent with our finding that such a characteristic change in seismicity appears when a seismic electric signal (SES) activity of the VAN method (from the initials of Varotsos, Alexopoulos, Nomicos) initiates, and provides a direct confirmation of the physical interconnection between SES and seismicity.展开更多

Here, we report the application of this procedure to an MW5.4 mainshock that occurred in Greece on 17 November 2014. This mainshock(which is pretty rare since it is the strongest in that area for more than half a century) was preceded by an SES activity recorded on 27 July 2014, and the results of the natural time analysis reveal that the system approached the critical point(mainshock occurrence) early in the morning on 15 November 2014.展开更多

In order to obtain more comprehensive and reliable welding information, this paper designed and built a welding multi-information wireless monitoring system with STM32-F407ZET6 as the control core and ALK8266 as the wireless transmission module. Real-time acquisition, transmission and display of electric arc signal and welding image information are realized in the monitoring system. This paper mainly introduces the hardware and software core of the monitoring system. At the same time, the signal collected by the monitoring system is compared with the original signal, and the accuracy of the remote monitoring system is tested. The monitoring system is used in welding test. The test results show that the accuracy of the monitoring system meets the requirements, and the on-line monitoring of electric arc signal and welding image can be realized in the welding process.展开更多

However, a variety of factors, such as the complexity of biological organisms themselves, the device error and the environmental noise, may compromise the accuracy and timeliness of model predictions. The current methods lack prior knowledge about the fish behavioral signals corresponding to characteristic pollutants, and in the event of a pollutant invasion, the fish behavioral signals are poorly discriminated. Therefore, we propose a novel method based on Bayesian sequential,which utilizes multi-channel prior knowledge to calculate the outlier sequence based on wavelet feature followed by calculating the anomaly probability of observed values. Furthermore, the relationship between the anomaly probability and toxicity is analyzed in order to achieve forewarning effectively. At last, our algorithm for fish toxicity detection is verified by integrating the data on laboratory acceptance of characteristic pollutants. The results show that only one false positive occurred in the six experiments, the present algorithm is effective in suppressing false positives and negatives, which increases the reliability of toxicity detections, and thereby has certain applicability and universality in engineering applications.展开更多
