Techniques to enhance voice signals in a dual microphone system are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, there are at least two microphones that are positioned in a pre-configured array. Two audio signals x1(k) and x2(k) are received and coupled to an adjusting module that is provided to control the gain of each of the audio signals x1(k) and x2(k) to minimize signal differences between the two signals. A separation module is provided to receive matched audio signals x′1(k) and x′2(k) from the adjusting module. The separation module separates the audio signals x′1(k) and x′2(k) to obtain a first audio signal s(k) containing mainly the voice and a second audio signal n(k) containing mainly the noise. An adaptive filtering module is provided to eliminate the noise component in the audio signal s(k) to obtain an estimated voice signal e_s(k) with a higher S / N ratio. Furthermore, the adaptive filtering module can be also configured to suppress echo in the audio signal s(k) at same time. The voice signal e_s(k) may be further coupled to a single-channel voice enhancement module that is configured to eliminate any residual of the noise component in the voice signal e_s(k) according to the differences between the voice signal and the noise signal in time domain and frequency domain, whereby, the S / N ratio is further enhanced.

The invention discloses a bearing fault diagnosis method and belongs to the field of mechanical faults. The method comprises the steps of denoising an acquired vibration signal with the flexible morphological filtering method to increase the signal to noise ratio, conducting LMD on the denoised vibration signal to obtain PF components, conducting spectral analysis on each PF component to obtain a spectrogram, and extracting fault character frequency from the obtained power spectrogram. The method has the advantages that the vibration signal is denoised with the flexible morphological filtering method so that noise in the vibration signal can be eliminated, fault frequency subjected to frequency spectrum correction is closer to actual fault character frequency than uncorrected fault frequency, and the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis is improved.

An apparatus and a method that achieve physical separation of sound sources by pointing directly a beam of coherent electromagnetic waves (i.e. laser). Analyzing the physical properties of a beam reflected from the vibrations generating sound source enable the reconstruction of the sound signal generated by the sound source, eliminating the noise component added to the original sound signal. In addition, the use of multiple electromagnetic waves beams or a beam that rapidly skips from one sound source to another allows the physical separation of these sound sources. Aiming each beam to a different sound source ensures the independence of the sound signals sources and therefore provides full sources separation.

The invention discloses a bearing early fault diagnosis method for multiple noise reduction processing. The method comprises the following steps: collecting a vibration signal of a bearing; carrying out short-time Fourier transform on the bearing vibration signal, and preliminarily judging whether the bearing has a fault or not; adopting wavelet packet transformation to decompose and reconstruct the bearing vibration signal, and carrying out preliminary denoising; decomposing, screening and reconstructing the wavelet packet reconstruction signal by using an ensemble empirical mode decomposition method; eliminating aliasing interference signals contained in the reconstructed signals, and performing multi-layer noise reduction on the bearing vibration signal; carrying out demodulation processing on the reconstructed signal after noise reduction, and extracting a bearing fault frequency; and comparing with a theoretically calculated fault frequency, and diagnosing to obtain a fault conclusion of the bearing. According to the method, a fault analysis mode combining wavelet packet transformation, an ensemble empirical mode decomposition method and autocorrelation calculation denoising is adopted, weak fault features are highlighted, bearing abnormity can be diagnosed and recognized as early as possible in the early fault stage of the bearing, and losses caused by equipment faults are avoided or reduced.

The respective ends of input wiring on a printed wiring board of a signal transmission circuit are connected to an input terminal section and a transistor. One terminal of a first capacitor and a first resistor are respectively connected to the input wiring. A leading-side transmission path from a connection point with the first capacitor to a connection point with the input terminal section is formed by only a conductive pattern. An intermediate transmission path from the connection point with the first capacitor to a connection point with the first resistor includes two or more through holes or via holes.

When one terminal of a second capacitor is connected to the intermediate transmission path, a transmission path between the respective connection points with the two capacitors includes one or more through holes or via holes.

An improved heart rate monitor is provided that can detect and distinguish a heartbeat from an otherwise contaminated system with noise components potentially larger than the signal of interest.

In embodiments the elimination of noise components is accomplished through wavelet decomposition, and the removal of undesired components including interference components during adaptive gain control (AGC), in addition to hunting algorithms which minimize the error with techniques such as neural network least mean squares type back propagation algorithms.

In a motion detection device that detects motion from two frames of a video signal, a pattern matching detector determines pattern similarity between pixel blocks centered on a pixel of interest in the two frames to detect pattern motion. An edge detector detects edge presence and direction in a vicinity of the pixel of interest. A frame difference detector generates a smoothed frame difference signal for the pixel of interest. The smoothing is carried out within appropriate extents selected according to the detected pattern motion and edge direction. A motion information corrector generates motion information for the pixel of interest from the frame difference signal. Appropriate selection of the smoothing extent reduces motion detection mistakes. The motion information is useful in motion adaptive video signal processing.
