As the key junction between the ground and underground, hoisting systems as well as mines themselves are of vital importance to coalmine production. Laser ranging method is studied as a new solution of getting the real-time position directly. Furthermore, multi-scale phase based laser ranging principles are utilized in the system. The paper is aimed to conduct research into the problems existing in standard signal generating while using laser to locating the hoisting container, and to design standard sine generator circuits with DDS technology and DDS devices AD9850 to generate multiple frequency standard signals. In view of the serious noise disturbance in high frequency output, 4-order Chebyshev low-pass filter is designed, by using the integrated analog filters LT 6600-15, to filter the sine signals from AD9850 and to effectively weaken the noise disturbance. The established practical circuits are tested, obtaining trillion level high frequency and low frequency sine signals and fulfilling the requirements for the location system of hoisting containers.

AbstractIn cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of radiation-sensitive biological samples, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast of images are critically important in the image processing pipeline. Classic methods improve low-frequency image contrast experimentally, by imaging with high defocus, or computationally, by applying various types of low-pass filter. These contrast improvements typically come at the expense of high-frequency SNR, which is suppressed by high-defocus imaging and removed by low pass filtration. Here, we demonstrate that a convolutional neural network (CNN) denoising algorithm can be used to significantly enhance SNR and generate contrast in cryo-EM images. We provide a quantitative evaluation of bias introduced by the denoising procedure and its influences on image processing and three-dimensional reconstructions. Our study suggests that besides enhancing the visual contrast of cryo-EM images, the enhanced SNR of denoised images may facilitate better outcomes in the other parts of the image processing pipeline, such as classification and 3D alignment. Overall, our results provide a ground of using denoising CNNs in the cryo-EM image processing pipeline.

Homodyne photothermal spectrometry (HPS) is a very wide bandwidth signal recovery technique which uses many of the elements of lock-in detection at very low cost. The method uses a frequency sweep, with a high-frequency bandwidth of up to 10 MHz, to excite a linear photothermal system. The response sweep of the photothermal system is downshifted into a bandwidth of a few kilohertz by means of in-phase mixing with the excitation sweep with the use of a four-quadrant double-balanced mixer and a low-pass filter. Under conditions derived from theory, the filter output gives a good approximation to the real part of the photothermal system's frequency response, dispersed as a function of time. From a recording of this signal, the frequency and impulse response of the photothermal system are rapidly recovered at very high resolution. The method has been tested with the use of laser photopyroelectric effect spectrometry and provides an inexpensive, convenient method for the recovery of high-frequency photothermal signals.

A novel capacitance multiplier is proposed to implement an ultra-low-frequency filter for physiological signal processing in biomedical applications. With the proposed multiplier, a simple first-order low-pass filter achieves a [Formula: see text]3-dB frequency of 33.4[Formula: see text]μHz with a 1-pF capacitance and a 20[Formula: see text]k[Formula: see text] resistance. This corresponds to a multiplication factor of as large as [Formula: see text]. By changing the controlling terminal, the [Formula: see text]3-dB frequency can be tuned in a wide range of 33.4[Formula: see text]μHz–6.3[Formula: see text]kHz.

This paper presents a comparison work between the filtering methods of fatigue strain loadings using the frequency spectrum and the wavelet transform (WT), in which a raw loading signal can be simplified for purpose of simulation. For this reason, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Morlet wavelet algorithms were used in order to transform the vibrational fatigue time series into the frequency domain signal, leading to the observation of the frequency characteristics of the signal. To retain high amplitude cycles in the FFT algorithm, a low pass filter technique was applied to remove the high frequency signals with small amplitude that are non-damaging. The departure of high frequency information smoothed the low amplitude cycles at high frequency events in the fatigue signal. The Butterworth filter was selected as the most efficient filter design as it retained most of the fatigue damage and also had the capability to remove 30 % of the original low amplitude cycles. On the other hand, the Morlet wavelet managed to remove 64 % of the original 59 second signal. This wavelet filtering method removed 34 % more than the similar procedure applied through the FFT approach. Hence, this fatigue data summarising algorithm can be used for studying the durability characteristics of automotive components.

The paper discusses the possibility of using a closed horizontal loop in a TEM measuring system to reduce the external high–frequency electromagnetic noise induced in a receiving loop. It is shown that the effect of an additional loop on the frequency response of the TEM measuring system is similar to that of a low–pass filter. In order to effectively reduce external noise, one should locate the auxiliary loop as close as possible to the receiver one.

<p>In this paper, a designed circuit used for low-frequency filters is implemented and realized the filter is based on frequency-dependent negative resistance (FDNR) as an inductor simulator to substitute the traditional inductance, which is heavy and high cost due to the coil material manufacturing and size area. The simulator is based on an active operation amplifier or operation transconductance amplifier (OTA) that is easy to build in an integrated circuit with a minimum number of components. The third and higher-order Butterworth filter is simulated at low frequency for low pass filter to use in medical instruments and low-frequency applications. The designed circuit is compared with the traditional proportional integral controller enhanced (PIE) and T section ordinary filter. The results with magnitude and phase response were compared and an acceptable result is obtained. The filter can be used for general applications such as medical and other low-frequency filters needed.</p>

Characteristics of the seismic data acquisition system that previously have been ignored become important as more sophisticated interpretive methods based on broader frequency bandwidths are developed to extract stratigraphic information from land data in hydrocarbon and mineral exploration. Theoretical and experimental results indicate that the geophone plant can be approximated by a damped oscillatory coupling, properties dependent upon the geophone mass, dimension of earth contact, and local soil consolidation. A massive geophone with minimal earth contact exhibits a low‐frequency plant resonance with weak damping and acts as a low‐pass filter to eliminate the high‐frequency components of a recorded signal. A lightweight geophone with large earth contact exhibits a high‐frequency plant resonance with strong damping and, consequently, filtering effects are minimal if the plant resonance is well above the signal bandwidth. Although signal filtering influences are weak for strong damping, phase delays can introduce errors of several milliseconds which resemble static errors. Additional complications arise since these time shifts are frequency dependent and, consequently, not identical for all reflection events in a seismic trace. The resonant frequency of the geophone plant increases with increased soil consolidation; however, damping demonstrates only a weak dependence upon consolidation. All of these factors can limit the effectiveness of common‐depth‐point (CDP) stacking methods if the proper technique is not practiced in the acquisition of broad‐bandwidth seismic data.
