This study design a system prototype to control a mouse cursor's movement on a computer using an electrooculogram (EOG) signal. The EOG signal generated from eye movement was processed utilizing a microcontroller with an analog to the digital conversion process, which communicates with the computer through a USB port. The signal was decomposed using continuous wavelet transform (CWT), followed by feature extraction processes using statistic calculation, and then classified using K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) to decide the movement and direction of the mouse cursor. The test was carried out with 110 EOG signals then separated, 0.5 as training data and 0.5 as test data with eight categories of directional movement patterns, including up, bottom, right, left, top right, top left, bottom right bottom left. The highest accuracy that can be achieved using CWT-bump and kurtosis is 100%, while the time needed to translate the eye movement to the cursor movement is 1.9792 seconds. It is hoped that the proposed system can help assistive devices, particularly for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) sufferers.

This paper proposes an adaptive continuous wavelet transform (ACWT) based Rake receiver to mitigate interference for high speed ultra wideband (UWB) transmission. The major parts of the receiver are least mean square (LMS) adaptive equalizer and N-selective maximum ratio combiner (MRC). The main advantage of using continuous wavelet rake receiver is that it utilizes the maximum bandwidth (7.5GHz) of the UWB transmitted signal, as announced by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). In the proposed ACWT Rake receiver, the weights and the finger positions are updated depending upon the convergence error over a period in which training data is transmitted. Line of sight (LOS) channel model (CM1 from 0 to 4 meters) and the Non line of sight (NLOS) channel models (CM, CM3 and CM4) are the indoor channel models selected for investigating in this research . The performance of the proposed adaptive system   is evaluated by comparing with conventional rake and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) based rake. It showed an improved performance in all the different UWB channels (CM1 to CM4) for rake fingers of 2, 4 and 8. Simulations showed that for 8 rake fingers, the proposed adaptive CWT rake receiver has shown an SNR improvement of 2dB, 3dB, 10dB and 2dB respectively over CWT rake receiver in different UWB channels CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM4.

We define a testing function space DL2(Rn) consisting of a class of C∞ functions defined on Rn, n≥1 whose every derivtive is L2(Rn) integrable and equip it with a topology generated by a separating collection of seminorms {γk}|k|=0∞ on DL2(Rn), where |k|=0,1,2,… and γk(ϕ)=∥ϕ(k)∥2,ϕ∈DL2(Rn). We then extend the continuous wavelet transform to distributions in DL2′(Rn), n≥1 and derive the corresponding wavelet inversion formula interpreting convergence in the weak distributional sense. The kernel of our wavelet transform is defined by an element ψ(x) of DL2(Rn)∩DL1(Rn), n≥1 which, when integrated along each of the real axes X1,X2,…Xn vanishes, but none of its moments ∫Rnxmψ(x)dx is zero; here xm=x1m1x2m2⋯xnmn, dx=dx1dx2⋯dxn and m=(m1,m2,…mn) and each of m1,m2,…mn is ≥1. The set of such wavelets will be denoted by DM(Rn).

Early detection of arrhythmia and effective treatment can prevent deaths caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). In clinical practice, the diagnosis is made by checking the electrocardiogram (ECG) beat-by-beat, but this is usually time-consuming and laborious. In the paper, we propose an automatic ECG classification method based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). CWT is used to decompose ECG signals to obtain different time-frequency components, and CNN is used to extract features from the 2D-scalogram composed of the above time-frequency components. Considering the surrounding R peak interval (also called RR interval) is also useful for the diagnosis of arrhythmia, four RR interval features are extracted and combined with the CNN features to input into a fully connected layer for ECG classification. By testing in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, our method achieves an overall performance of 70.75%, 67.47%, 68.76%, and 98.74% for positive predictive value, sensitivity, F1-score, and accuracy, respectively. Compared with existing methods, the overall F1-score of our method is increased by 4.75~16.85%. Because our method is simple and highly accurate, it can potentially be used as a clinical auxiliary diagnostic tool.
