Abstract Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) is known to be closely related to the rate of change of local horizontal magnetic field (dBx/dt); and their spectra can give better insight into the relationship. We study the spectral characteristics of GIC measured in Finland and dBx/dt measured 30 km away during the 17 March 2013 intense geomagnetic storm (SymHMin = -132 nT). Two bursts of large GIC (up to 32A) and dBx/dt occurred at ~ 16 UT and 18 UT during the storm main phase, though their values were generally small. For the first time, the Cross Wavelet Transform (XWT) and Wavelet Coherence (WTC) techniques are used to investigate the correlation and phase relationship of GIC and dBx/dt in time-frequency domain. Their WTC correlation is strong (over 0.9) over the entire storm period, indicating dBx/dt is the main factor causing GIC and dBx/dt leading GIC. Their XWT spectra show two enclosed periods (8–42 min and 2–42 min) in the high energy region corresponding to the two bursts of activity in GIC and dBx/dt. Moreover, we use continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to analyze the spectral characteristics of GIC and dBx/dt. It is found that the CWT and DWT spectra of the two are very similar, especially in the low frequency characteristics, without continuous periodicity. Wavelet coefficients become large when GIC and dBx/dT are large; and the third-order coefficient, which corresponds to low-frequency part, best reflects the disturbance of GIC and dBx/dt.

Abstract. MOURA instrument is a three-axis magnetometer and gradiometer designed and developed for Mars MetNet Precursor mission. The initial scientific goal of the instrument is to measure the local magnetic field in the surroundings of the lander i.e. to characterize the magnetic environment generated by the remanent magnetization of the crust and the superimposed daily variations of the field produced either by the solar wind incidence or by the thermomagnetic variations. Therefore, the qualification model (QM) will be tested in representative scenarios like magnetic surveys on terrestrial analogues of Mars and monitoring solar events, with the aim to achieve some experience prior to the arrival to Mars. In this work, we present a practical first approach for calibration of the instrument in the laboratory; a finer correction after the comparison of MOURA data with those of a reference magnetometer located in San Pablo de los Montes (SPT) INTERMAGNET Observatory; and a comparative recording of a geomagnetic storm as a demonstration of the compliance of the instrument capabilities with the scientific objectives.

This paper performed a radial compression fatigue test on glass fiber winding composite tubes, collected acoustic emission signals at different fatigue damages stages, used time frequency analysis techniques for modern wavelet transform, and analyzed the wave form and frequency characteristics of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals. Three main frequency bands of acoustic emission signal had been identified: 80-160 kHz (low frequency band), 160-300 kHz (middle frequency band), and over 300kHz (high frequency band), corresponding to the three basic damage modes: the fragmentation of matrix resin, the layered damage of fiber and matrix, and the fracture of cellosilk respectively. The usage of wavelet transform enabled the separation of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals from interference wave, and the access to characteristics of high signal-noise-ratio fatigue damage.

Abstract. Bipolar pulses of ~ 25-100 µs in duration have been observed in the wave electric field data obtained by the Wideband plasma wave instrument on the Cluster spacecraft in the dayside magnetosheath. These pulses are similar in almost all respects to those observed on several spacecraft over the last few years. They represent solitary potential structures, and in this case, electron phase space holes. When the time series data containing the bipolar pulses on Cluster are transformed to the frequency domain by a windowed FFT, the pulses appear as typical broad-band features, extending from the low-frequency cutoff of the bandpass filter, ~ 1 kHz, up to as great as 20-40 kHz in some cases, with decreasing intensity as the frequency increases. The upper frequency cutoff of the broad band is an indication of the individual pulse durations (1/f). The solitary potential structures are detected when the local magnetic field is contained primarily in the spin plane, indicating that they propagate along the magnetic field. Their frequency extent and intensity seem to increase as the angle between the directions of the magnetic field and the plasma flow decreases from 90°. Of major significance is the finding that the overall profile of the broad-band features observed simultaneously by two Cluster spacecraft, separated by a distance of over 750 km, are strikingly similar in terms of onset times, frequency extent, intensity, and termination. This implies that the generation region of the solitary potential structures observed in the magnetosheath near the bow shock is very large and may be located at or near the bow shock, or be connected with the bow shock in some way.

The traditional image magnify method usually have some defects on details. This paper gives a new infrared image magnification and enhancement method which is based on wavelet reconstruction and gradation segment. In this method, first of all, make wavelet transform on the image, get the high-frequency coefficient. Apply the Newton differential algorithm enhance the high-frequency coefficient as the high-frequency part of the magnified image, treat the original image as the low-frequency part , make the wavelet reconstruction ,then get the magnified image. To enhance the magnified image, according to the double gray threshold, segment the image into high gray segment corresponding to target, low gray segment corresponding to background, and middle gray segment corresponding to transition sector. Then, make linear extension to them respectively; the result is the magnified image. Experiments indicate, this method is effective on distinguishing high-energy target from low-energy target (the low-energy target is the primary one) and displaying the details of image(edge profile of the bomb).

<p class="TTPParagraphothers"><em>The paper discusses means to predict sound source position emitted by fault machine components based on a single microphone moving in a linear track with constant speed.</em> The position of sound source that consists of some frequency spectrum is detected by time-frequency distribution of the sound signal through Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Continues Wavelet Transform (CWT). <em>As the amplitude of sound pressure increases when the microphone moves closer, the source position and frequency are predicted from the peaks of time-frequency contour map</em><em>. </em>Firstly, numerical simulation is conducted using two sound sources that generate four different frequencies of sound. The second case is experimental analysis using rotating machine being monitored with unbalanced, misalignment and bearing defect. The result shows that application of both STFT and CWT are able to detect multiple sound sources position with multiple frequency peaks caused by machine fault. The STFT can indicate the frequency very clearly, but not for the peak position. On the other hand, the CWT is able to predict the position of sound at low frequency very clearly. However, it is failed to detect the exact frequency because of overlapping.</p>

Respiratory motor outputs contain medium-(MFO) and high-frequency oscillations (HFO) that are much faster than the fundamental breathing rhythm. However, the associated changes in power spectral characteristics of the major respiratory outputs in unanesthetized animals during the transition from normal eupneic breathing to hypoxic gasping have not been well characterized. Experiments were performed on nine unanesthetized, chemo- and barodenervated, decerebrate adult rats, in which asphyxia elicited hyperpnea, followed by apnea and gasping. A gated fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis and a novel time-frequency representation (TFR) analysis were developed and applied to whole phrenic and to medial branch hypoglossal nerve recordings. Our results revealed one MFO and one HFO peak in the phrenic output during eupnea, where HFO was prominent in the first two-thirds of the burst and MFO was prominent in the latter two-thirds of the burst. The hypoglossal activity contained broadband power distribution with several distinct peaks. During gasping, two high-amplitude MFO peaks were present in phrenic activity, and this state was characterized by a conspicuous loss in HFO power. Hypoglossal activity showed a significant reduction in power and a shift in its distribution toward lower frequencies during gasping. TFR analysis of phrenic activity revealed the increasing importance of an initial low-frequency “start-up” burst that grew in relative intensity as hypoxic conditions persisted. Significant changes in MFO and HFO rhythm generation during the transition from eupnea to gasping presumably reflect a reconfiguration of the respiratory network and/or alterations in signal processing by the circuitry associated with the two motor pools.

The authors propose a novel procedure for enhancement of the signal to noise ratio in vibration data acquired from machines working in mining industry environment. Proposed method allows performing data-driven reduction of the deterministic, high energy, and low frequency components. Furthermore, it provides a way to enhance signal of interest. Procedure incorporates application of the time-frequency decomposition, α-stable distribution based signal modeling, and stability parameter in the time domain as a stoppage criterion for iterative part of the procedure. An advantage of the proposed algorithm is data-driven, automative detection of the informative frequency band as well as band with high energy due to the properties of the used distribution. Furthermore, there is no need to have knowledge regarding kinematics, speed, and so on. The proposed algorithm is applied towards real data acquired from the belt conveyor pulley drive’s gearbox.
