This document discusses a proposed doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system for wind energy conversion that uses a magnitude and frequency control (MFC) technique. The MFC controller aims to extract maximum power from the wind turbine, maintain constant voltage and frequency, and control reactive power flow without needing an external compensator. Simulation results show that the MFC controlled DFIG is able to attain a maximum rotor speed of 0.85 pu and extract 76% of the theoretical maximum power from the wind turbine. The conclusion is that the control technique for the DFIG has been analyzed and the objectives of maximum power extraction and reactive power control are achieved.

Identification of cough and speech from a sound event help us identify various pulmonary diseases. We listed some of the techniques ( for e.g power spectral density, Zero Crossing rate etc ) that can be used to come up to a result.
Spectrogram, is what we believe can be a major tool in separating the two.
This document outlines a student project aimed at identifying coughs and speech through sound signal processing. The students started by learning existing technologies like band-pass filters and neural networks for cough detection. They then progressed their own model using signal processing techniques. Their work plan involved frequency spectrum analysis, power spectral analysis, zero crossing rate analysis, and sample entropy analysis. The document discusses the limitations of the project and proposes future work like using machine learning and identifying additional characteristics to better differentiate between coughs and speech.
Sleep Apnea Identification using HRV Features of ECG Signals IJECEIAES
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that interferes with the breathing of a person. During sleep, people can stop breathing for a moment that causes the body lack of oxygen that lasts for several seconds to minutes even until the range of hours. If it happens for a long period, it can result in more serious diseases, e.g. high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, etc. Sleep apnea can be prevented by identifying the indication of sleep apnea itself from ECG, EEG, or other signals to perform early prevention. The purpose of this study is to build a classification model to identify sleep disorders from the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features that can be obtained with Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. In this study, HRV features were processed using several classification methods, i.e. ANN, KNN, N-Bayes and SVM linear Methods. The classification is performed using subjectspecific scheme and subject-independent scheme. The simulation results show that the SVM method achieves higher accuracy other than three other methods in identifying sleep apnea. While, time domain features shows the most dominant performance among the HRV features.

In the past 50 y, there has been a decline in average sleep duration
and quality, with adverse consequences on general health. A
representative survey of 1,508 American adults recently revealed
that 90% of Americans used some type of electronics at least
a few nights per week within 1 h before bedtime. Mounting
evidence from countries around the world shows the negative
impact of such technology use on sleep. This negative impact on
sleep may be due to the short-wavelength–enriched light emitted
by these electronic devices, given that artificial-light exposure has
been shown experimentally to produce alerting effects, suppress
melatonin, and phase-shift the biological clock. A few reports have
shown that these devices suppress melatonin levels, but little is
known about the effects on circadian phase or the following sleep
episode, exposing a substantial gap in our knowledge of how this
increasingly popular technology affects sleep. Here we compare
the biological effects of reading an electronic book on a light-emit-
ting device (LE-eBook) with reading a printed book in the hours
before bedtime. Participants reading an LE-eBook took longer to
fall asleep and had reduced evening sleepiness, reduced melatonin
secretion, later timing of their circadian clock, and reduced next-
morning alertness than when reading a printed book. These results
demonstrate that evening exposure to an LE-eBook phase-delays
the circadian clock, acutely suppresses melatonin, and has important
implications for understanding the impact of such technologies on
sleep, performance, health, and safety.
sleep | chronobiology | phase-shifting | digital media | electronics
The use of electronic devices for reading, communication, andentertainment has greatly increased in recent years. Greater
portability, convenience, and ease of access to reading materials
in electronic form add to the popularity of these devices. The use
of light-emitting devices immediately before bedtime is a con-
cern because light is the most potent environmental signal that
impacts the human circadian clock and may therefore play a role
in perpetuating sleep deficiency (1). The circadian-timing system
synchronizes numerous internal physiological and biochemical
processes, including the daily rhythm of sleep propensity (2).
The study analyzed Purkinje cell responses in the cerebellar flocculus of mice during visually and vestibularly driven eye movements. Recordings were made from Purkinje cells in awake, head-fixed mice undergoing optokinetic and vestibular stimulation. As in other species, the Purkinje cells carried both vestibular and nonvestibular signals related to eye and head movement. However, the mouse Purkinje cells showed a higher sensitivity to eye velocity compared to other species, likely reflecting the smaller range of eye movements in mice.
Arduino uno based obstructive sleep apnea detection using respiratory signaleSAT Journals
Abstract The monitoring of breathing dynamics is an essential diagnostic tool in various clinical environments, such as sleep analysis, intensive care and central nervous and physiological disorder analysis. This paper introduces a mathematical representation of respiratory pattern in frequency domain .Sleep apnea is defined as cessation of airflow to the lungs during sleep for 10 sec. It normally results from either lack in neural input from the central nervous system (Central Sleep Apnea) or Upper airway collapse (Obstructive sleep apnea).Microcontroller based sleep apnea monitor consists of a piezoelectric sensor attached to rib cage of patient. The amplified signal obtained from the patient is applied to the microcontroller. The method mentioned in the paper is based on extraction of four enhanced main energy features of respiratory signal from 30 second respiratory data through auto regressive modeling and other techniques. The four features extracted are Signal power, Respiration frequency, Dominant frequency in power spectrum, Maximum power in specturm . These features are compared with their threshold values and introduced to a series of condition for each epoch. Keywords: Auto-regression, Sleep apnea, Energy index, Respiratory frequency, Least squares method.
This study evaluated the effects of a new mattress and pillow designed to facilitate prone positioning for treating obstructive sleep apnea. Fourteen patients with mild to severe sleep apnea underwent two sleep studies - one without treatment and one after 4 weeks using the prone positioning mattress and pillow. The results showed that mean apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index decreased significantly with treatment. Supine time decreased significantly while prone time increased significantly. Most patients achieved a 50% or greater reduction in apnea events. The mattress and pillow were found to be an effective treatment for reducing sleep apnea symptoms and improving oxygen levels in most patients.

Cardiology as a field has seen phenomenal technological advances over the past few decades. Existing tools however require sensors and/or electrodes on the human body to capture physiological signals. In this talk, I will show how we can use smartphones and smart speakers to contactlessly monitor human physiological signals from a distance. I will first demonstrate how we can continuously track motion and minute breathing signals by transforming these mobile devices into contactless sensors that can monitor sleep quality and detect sleep apnea. I will then show how we can use smart speakers (e.g., Alexa) to contactlessly monitor individual heart beats and detect irregular heart rhythm, without the need for any on-body sensors or electrodes. Finally, I will present our work on using machine learning on smart speakers to detect agonal breathing, an audible biomarker and brainstem reflex that arises in the setting of severe hypoxia, which is an under-appreciated diagnostic element of cardiac arrest.

Features were extracted from the time, wavelet, and frequency domains of EEG signals and used as inputs to support vector machine and K-nearest neighbor classifiers. The KNN classifier with a K value of 3 performed best with a sensitivity of 85.92%, specificity of 80%, and accuracy of 82.69% in classifying apnea and non-apnea events. Previous related studies that used features from other physiological signals like ECG, SpO2, and EEG and different machine learning models were also summarized.
Computer Aided Detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea from EEG Signalssipij
Sleep Apnea is an anomaly in sleeping characterized by short pause in breathing. Failure to treat sleep
apnea leads to fatal complications in both psychological and physiological being of human.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) performs an important task in probing for sleep apnea through identifying
and recording the brain’s activities while sleeping. In this study, computer aided detection of sleep apnea
from EEG signals is developed to optimize and increase the prompt recognition and diagnosis of sleep
apnea in patients. The time domain, wavelets, and frequency domain of the EEG signals were computed,
and features were extracted from these domains. These features are inputted into two machine learning
algorithms: Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors of different kernel functions and orders.
Evaluation metrics such as specificity, accuracy, and sensitivity are computed and analyzed for the
classifiers. The KNN classifier outperforms the SVM in classifying apnea from non-apnea events in
patients. The KNN order 3 shows the highest performance sensitivity of 85.92%, specificity of 80% and
accuracy of 82.69%.

and recording the brain’s activities while sleeping. In this study, computer aided detection of sleep apnea
from EEG signals is developed to optimize and increase the prompt recognition and diagnosis of sleep
apnea in patients. The time domain, wavelets, and frequency domain of the EEG signals were computed,
and features were extracted from these domains. These features are inputted into two machine learning
algorithms: Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors of different kernel functions and orders.
Evaluation metrics such as specificity, accuracy, and sensitivity are computed and analyzed for the
classifiers. The KNN classifier outperforms the SVM in classifying apnea from non-apnea events in
patients. The KNN order 3 shows the highest performance sensitivity of 85.92%, specificity of 80% and
accuracy of 82.69%.
