We report on a compact optical frequency comb, operating in the wavelength range from 670 to 1500 nm, based diode-pumped low-noise femtosecond Yb:CALGO amplified laser system. Both carrier-envelope offset and repetition rate are phase-locked reference synthesizers. A full characterization of terms stability, phase noise analysis, beating against single-frequency non-planar ring oscillator Nd:YA...

wet ag/agcl electrodes, although very popular in clinical diagnosis, are not appropriate for expanding applications of wearable biopotential recording systems which are used repetitively and for a long time. here, the development of a low‑cost and low‑noise active dry electrode is presented. the performance of the new electrodes was assessed for recording electrocardiogram (ecg) and electroence...

Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. Speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. In this study, the importance of SNR magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...

The aim of this paper is robust identification of smart foam, as an electroacoustic transducer, considering unmodeled dynamics due to nonlinearities in behaviour at low frequencies and measurement noise at high frequencies as existent uncertainties. Set membership estimation combined with model error modelling technique is used where the approach is based on worst case scenario with unknown but...
