Surgeons are striving to achieve higher quality results in minimally invasive operation. Intelligent medical equipments are able to improve operation safety. Otological drill milling through a bone tissue wall is a common milling fault in ear surgery. In this paper a multi-sensor information fusion method for identifying milling faults is presented. Five surgeons experimented on calvarian bones using the intelligent otological drill. The average recognition rate of milling faults was 91%, and only 0.8% of normal millings were identified as milling faults.

Speech under G-force which produced when speaker was under different acceleration of gravity was analyzed and researched, considered as principal part and stressed part to research. An isolated word recognition approach was proposed which combined difference subspace means with dynamic time warping technique. The method recognized speech under G-force by constructing a difference subspace to remove the stressed part. Dynamic time warping technique was adopted to make all feature vectors of one word in the training set have equal length, and a corresponding decision criterion was suggested. For a small vocabulary including 15 words, the method obtained the average recognition rate of 98.3%, which almost equal to the rate in normal environment. The method not only worked well in normal conditions but also had good performance for speech under G-force.
