The mathematical analysis and the assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) based on computer systems can assist the diagnostic process with determining the cardiac status of patients. The new cardio-diagnostic assisting computer system created uses the classic Time-Domain, Frequency-Domain, and Time-Frequency analysis indices, as well as the nonlinear methods (Poincaré plot, Recurrence plot, Hurst R/S method, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), Multi-Fractal DFA, Approximate Entropy and Sample Entropy). To test the feasibility of the software developed, 24-hour Holter recordings of four groups of people were analysed: healthy subjects and patients with arrhythmia, heart failure and syncope. Time-Domain (SDNN < 50 ms, SDANN < 100 ms, RMSSD < 17 ms) and Frequency-Domain (the spectrum of HRV in the LF < 550 ms2, and HF < 540 ms2) parameter values decreased in the cardiovascular disease groups compared to the control group as a result of lower HRV due to decreased parasympathetic and increased sympathetic activity. The results of the nonlinear analysis showed low values of (SD1 < 56 ms, SD2 < 110 ms) at Poincaré plot (Alpha < 90 ms) at DFA in patients with diseases. Significantly reducing these parameters are markers of cardiac dysfunction. The examined groups of patients showed an increase in the parameters (DET% > 95, REC% > 38, ENTR > 3.2) at the Recurrence plot. This is evidence of a pathological change in the regulation of heart rhythm. The system created can be useful in making the diagnosis by the cardiologist and in bringing greater accuracy and objectivity to the treatment.

To detect and recognize any type of events over the perimeter security system, this article proposes a fiber-optic vibration pattern recognition method based on the combination of time-domain features and time-frequency domain features. The performance parameters (event recognition, event location, and event classification) are very important and describe the validity of this article. The pattern recognition method is precisely based on the empirical mode decomposition of time-frequency entropy and center-of-gravity frequency. It implements the function of identifying and classifying the event (intrusions or non-intrusion) over the perimeter to secure. To achieve this method, the first-level prejudgment is performed according to the time-domain features of the vibration signal, and the second-level prediction is carried out through time-frequency analysis. The time-frequency distribution of the signal is obtained by empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert transform and then the time-frequency entropy and center-of-gravity frequency are used to form the time-frequency domain features, that is, combined with the time-domain features to form feature vectors. Multiple types of probabilistic neural networks are identified to determine whether there are intrusions and the intrusion types. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and reliable in identifying and classifying the type of event.

The present study addresses the cardiac arrhythmia (CA) classification problem using the deep learning (DL)-based method for electrocardiography (ECG) data analysis. Recently, various DL techniques have been utilized to classify arrhythmias, with one typical approach to developing a one-dimensional (1D) convolutional neural network (CNN) model to handle the ECG signals in the time domain. Although the CA classification in the time domain is very prevalent, current methods’ performances are still not robust or satisfactory. This study aims to develop a solution for CA classification in two dimensions by introducing the recurrence plot (RP) combined with an Inception-ResNet-v2 network. The proposed method for nine types of CA classification was tested on the 1st China Physiological Signal Challenge 2018 dataset. During implementation, the optimal leads (lead II and lead aVR) were selected, and then 1D ECG segments were transformed into 2D texture images by the RP approach. These RP-based images as input signals were passed into the Inception-ResNet-v2 for CA classification. In the CPSC, Georgia, and the PTB_XL ECG databases of the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2020, the RP-based method achieved an average F1-score of 0.8521, 0.8529, and 0.8862, respectively. The results suggested the excellent generalization ability of the proposed method. To further assess the performance of the proposed method, we compared the 2D RP-image-based solution with the published 1D ECG-based works on the same dataset. Also, it was compared with two traditional ECG transform into 2D image methods, including the time waveform of the ECG recordings and time-frequency images based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The proposed method achieved the highest average F1-score of 0.844, with only two leads of the 12-lead ECG original data, which outperformed other works. Therefore, the promising results indicate that the 2D RP-based method has a high clinical potential for CA classification using fewer lead ECG signals.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the spectral characteristics of moving average operator and to propose a novel time-frequency hybrid sequence operator.Design/methodology/approachFirstly, the complex data is converted into frequency domain data by Fourier transform. An appropriate frequency domain operator is constructed to eliminate the impact of disturbance. Then, the inverse Fourier transform transforms the frequency domain data in which the disturbance is removed, into time domain data. Finally, an appropriate moving average operator of N items is selected based on spectral characteristics to eliminate the influence of periodic factors and noise.FindingsThrough the spectrum analysis of the real-time data sensed and recorded by microwave sensors, the spectral characteristics and the ranges of information, noise and shock disturbance factors in the data can be clarified.Practical implicationsThe real-time data analysis results for a drug component monitoring show that the hybrid sequence operator has a good effect on suppressing disturbances, periodic factors and noise implied in the data.Originality/valueFirstly, the spectral analysis of moving average operator and the novel time-frequency hybrid sequence operator were presented in this paper. For complex data, the ideal effect is difficult to achieve by applying the frequency domain operator or time domain operator alone. The more satisfactory results can be obtained by time-frequency hybrid sequence operator.

Fusing multichannel neurophysiological signals to recognize human emotion states becomes increasingly attractive. The conventional methods ignore the complementarity between time domain characteristics, frequency domain characteristics, and time-frequency characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and cannot fully capture the correlation information between different channels. In this paper, an integrated deep learning framework based on improved deep belief networks with glia chains (DBN-GCs) is proposed. In the framework, the member DBN-GCs are employed for extracting intermediate representations of EEG raw features from multiple domains separately, as well as mining interchannel correlation information by glia chains. Then, the higher level features describing time domain characteristics, frequency domain characteristics, and time-frequency characteristics are fused by a discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) to implement emotion recognition task. Experiments conducted on the DEAP benchmarking dataset achieve averaged accuracy of 75.92% and 76.83% for arousal and valence states classification, respectively. The results show that the proposed framework outperforms most of the above deep classifiers. Thus, potential of the proposed framework is demonstrated.

A multichannel active noise control (ANC) system has been developed for a vehicle application, which employs loudspeakers to reduce the low-frequency road noise. Six accelerometers were attached to the vehicle structure to provide the reference signal for the feedforward control strategy, and two loudspeakers and two microphones were applied to attenuate acoustic noise near the headrest of the driver's seat. To avoid large computational burden caused by the conventional time-domain filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm, a time-frequency domain FXLMS (TF-FXLMS) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm calculates the gradient estimate and filtered reference signal in the frequency domain to reduce the computational requirement, while also updates the control signals in the time domain to avoid delay. A comprehensive computational complexity analysis is conducted to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm requires significantly lower computational cost as compared to the conventional FXLMS algorithm.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the efficient market hypothesis for major Indian sectoral indices by means of long memory approach in both time domain and frequency domain. This paper also tests the accuracy of the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) approach and the local Whittle (LW) approach by means of Monte Carlo simulation experiments. Design/methodology/approach – The author applies the DFA approach for the computation of the scaling exponent in the time domain. The robustness of the results is tested by the computation of the scaling exponent in the frequency domain by means of the LW estimator. The author applies moving sub-sample approach on DFA to study the evolution of market efficiency in Indian sectoral indices. Findings – The Monte Carlo simulation experiments indicate that the DFA approach and the LW approach provides good estimates of the scaling exponent as the sample size increases. The author also finds that the efficiency characteristics of Indian sectoral indices and their stages of development are dynamic in nature. Originality/value – This paper has both methodological and empirical originality. On the methodological side, the author tests the small sample properties of the DFA and the LW approaches by using simulated series of fractional Gaussian noise and find that both the approach possesses superior properties in terms of capturing the scaling behavior of asset prices. On the empirical side, the author studies the evolution of long-range dependence characteristics in Indian sectoral indices.

Abstract This paper provides an example of the application of the acoustic emission (AE) method for the diagnosis of technical conditions of a three-phase on-load tap-changer (OLTC) GIII type. The measurements were performed for an amount of 10 items of OLTCs, installed in power transformers with a capacity of 250 MVA. The study was conducted in two different OLTC operating conditions during the tapping process: under load and free running conditions. The analysis of the measurement results was made in both time domain and time-frequency domain. The description of the AE signals generated by the OLTC in the time domain was performed using the analysis of waveforms and determined characteristic times. Within the time-frequency domain the measured signals were described by short-time Fourier transform spectrograms.
