The study reported in this paper is concerned with areas related to developing methods of measuring, processing and analyzing infrasound noise caused by operation of wind farms. The paper contains the results of the correlation analysis of infrasound signals generated by a wind turbine with a rated capacity of 2 MW recorded by three independent measurement setups comprising identical components and characterized by the same technical parameters. The measurements of infrasound signals utilized a dedicated measurement system called INFRA, which was developed and built by KFB ACOUSTICS Sp. z o.o. In particular, the scope of the paper includes the results of correlation analysis in the time domain, which was carried out using the autocovariance function separately for each of the three measuring setups. Moreover, the courses of the cross-correlation function were calculated separately for each of the potential combinations of infrasound range recorded by the three measuring setups. In the second stage, a correlation analysis of the recorded infrasound signals in the frequency domain was performed, using the coherence function. In the next step, infrasound signals recorded in three setups were subjected to time-frequency transformations. In this part, the waveforms of the scalograms were determined by means of continuous wavelet transform. Wavelet coherence waveforms were calculated in order to determine the level of the correlation of the obtained dependencies in the time-frequency domain. The summary contains the results derived from using correlation analysis methods in the time, frequency and time-frequency domains.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism has received general attention in the literature, while the role of news during the pandemic has been ignored. Using a time-frequency connectedness approach, this paper focuses on the spillover effects of COVID-19-related news on the return and volatility of four regional travel and leisure (T&L) stocks. The results in the time domain reveal significant spillovers from news to T&L stocks. Specifically, in the return system, T&L stocks are mainly affected by media hype, while in the volatility system, they are mainly affected by panic sentiment. This paper also finds two risk contagion paths. The contagion index and Global T&L stock are the sources of these paths. The results in the frequency domain indicate that the shocks in the T&L industry are mainly driven by short-term fluctuations. The spillovers from news to T&L stocks and among these T&L stocks are stronger within 1 month.

We developed a method to distinguish bursts and suppressions for EEG burst suppression from the treatments of status epilepticus, employing the joint time-frequency domain. We obtained the feature used in the proposed method from the joint use of the time and frequency domains, and we estimated the decision as to whether the measured EEG was a burst segment or suppression segment by the maximum likelihood estimation. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method in terms of its accordance with the visual scores and estimation of the burst suppression ratio. The accuracy was higher than the sole use of the time or frequency domains, as well as conventional methods conducted in the time domain. In addition, probabilistic modeling provided a more simplified optimization than conventional methods. Burst suppression quantification necessitated precise burst suppression segmentation with an easy optimization; therefore, the excellent discrimination and the easy optimization of burst suppression by the proposed method appear to be beneficial.

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.

Many people with developmental dyslexia have difficulty perceiving stop consonant contrasts as effectively as other people and it has been suggested that this may be due to perceptual limitations of a temporal nature. Accordingly, we predicted that perception of such stimuli by listeners with dyslexia might be improved by stretching them in time—equivalent to speaking slowly. Conversely, their perception of the same stimuli ought to be made even worse by compressing them in time—equivalent to speaking quickly. We tested 15 children with dyslexia on their ability to identify correctly consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) stimuli that had been stretched or compressed in the time domain. We also tested their perception of the same CVC stimuli after the formant transitions had been stretched or compressed in the frequency domain. Contrary to our predictions, we failed to find any systematic improvement in their performance with either manipulation. We conclude that simple manipulations in the time and frequency domains are unlikely to benefit the ability of people with dyslexia to discriminate between CVCs containing stop consonants.

The nonrepeatable radial vibration (NRRV) of spindle motors used in magnetic disk memory devices was studied in detail. In particular a theoretical and experimental investigation on the comparison of NRRV in time and frequency domains was conducted. The random and statistical characteristics of NRRV were ascertained by analyzing the amplitude distributions of both asynchronous and synchronous vibration components in the frequency domain. It was found that the main part of NRRV is composed of asynchronous components in most of the spindles tested. Some of the asynchronous component amplitudes, varying randomly, can be approximated by Rayleigh distribution function. It was also found that the synchronous vibrations include nonrepeatable components. The variance of NRRV measured in the time domain was shown theoretically and experimentally to be equal to the sum of the total power of asynchronous components and the total variance of synchronous components. From this relation, the cause of tracking error in such memory devices can be analyzed quantitatively in frequency domain.

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.

Bearing is the key component in rotating machine. It is important to assess the performance degradation degree of bearings for making proactive maintenance and realizing near-zero downtime. A methodology based on orthogonal local preserving projection (OLPP) and continuous hidden Markov model (CHMM) is introduced in bearing performance degradation assessment. Firstly, the time domain, frequency domain and time-frequency domain features are extracted from the vibration signals. Then, the multi-dimensional features are reduced by OLPP. And the selection of the adjacent paragraph parameters in OLPP is optimized adaptively by minimizing the ratio of between-class distance to within-class distance. A CHMM is trained by using the reduced feature in normal condition. At last, the test bearing data are input into the pre-trained CHMM to calculate the log-likelihood of the test data, which can assess the performance degradation of bearings quantitatively. A bearing accelerated life experiment is performed to validate the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

The wheeled inverted pendulum shown in Fig. 1 is a typical nonlinear system that is both nonholonomic and complex in dynamics. In this paper a novel control concept is applied to stabilize a wheeled inverted pendulum. The suggested controller requires no mathematical simplification or linearization of the system. Online identification and feed-forward control are realized by an adapted filtered-x least mean square algorithm (FXLMS). Using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), control can be exerted in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously. The results show that the proposed controller is robust even when the system is perturbed. The system can also be partially stabilized at positions out of the upper equilibrium. In this case the time domain error is small though the system stays broadband in the frequency domain.

The pilots that are transmitted by different transmitting antennas must be orthogonal after being shifted. So the time domain channel estimating solution is deduced through LS based on the MIMO-OFDM channel estimating model. The time domain solution need the inverse operation of matrix, and its operating quantity is large. So the three dimensions pilot based on space domain, time domain and frequency domain is designed. The method need not the inverse operation of matrix for the time domain channel estimating solution and can reduce the complexity of channel estimating and make the channel estimating error minimum. It is shown from the simulation that the channel estimating method of this paper based on space domain, time space and frequency domain pilot has better MSE and BER performances compared with the traditional LS algorithm and the document algorithm.
