In this paper novel compression techniques are developed for portable heart-monitoring equipment that could also form the basis for more intelligent diagnostic systems thanks to the way the compression algorithms depend on signal classification. There are two main categories of compression which are employed for electrocardiogram signals: lossless and lossy. Design of an optimal Wiener filter i...

It has long been established that for a Positive Displacement (PD) compressor or expander such as reciprocating or rotary screw type, the thermodynamic process is adiabatic when compressor or expander discharge pressure is equal to system back pressure (or 100% internal compression or expansion). At this design point, compressor or expander efficiency and noise are most desirable. But more ofte...

In most imaging systems, image compression is carried out after demosaicing process and compression algorithms usually have focused on compressing threechannel color images. Recently, several image compression methods are proposed to directly handle CFA images that are captured before color interpolation. These CFA compression schemes exploit the fact that CFA images do not contain the redundan...

Compression is built into a broad range of technologies like storage systems, databases, operating systems and software applications. It refers to the process of reducing the quantity of data used to represent the content without excessively reducing the quality of the original data. Their main purpose is to reduce the number of bits required to store and/or transmit digital media in a cost eff...

Rice algorithm, which has been recommended by Consultative Committee for Space Data System (CCSDS) for space telescope image lossless compression, is studied. Due to the similarity, this algorithm is applied on lossless compression of X-ray digital image after improvement and a satisfying compression rate is obtained. Firstly, the algorithm process is presented. Later on, the compression and de...

In recent years, several research activities have been conducted to develop knowledge in analysis, design and optimization of compressor anti-surge control system. Since the anti-surge control testing on a full-scale compressor is limited to possible consequences of failure, and also the experimental facility can be expensive to set up control strategies and logic, design process often involves...

We show that the standard image compression algorithms are not suitable for compressing images in correlation pattern recognition since they aim at retaining image fidelity in terms of perceptual quality rather than preserving spectrally significant information for pattern recognition. New compression algorithms for pattern recognition are therefore developed, which are based on the modificatio...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the performance of three different state-of-the-art image compression schemes namely Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW), Spatial-orientation Trees Wavelet (STW) and Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPHIT). The paper analyses the compression schemes using X-ray image data such that the quality of the reconstructed image would be closely related to its origina...

many studies have considered the effects of suspension properties on the dewatering process but fewhave focused on ore properties. thus, the present work studied the effects of ore properties (density,particle size, mineralogy) on the dewatering process based on lab and pilot experiments. a hydrocyclonewas used to prepare the required samples for the experiments. to study the effects of mineral...
