This paper presents a new blind equalization algorithm called multimodulus algorithm (MMA). This algorithm combines the benefits of the well-known reduced constellation algorithm (RCA) and constant… (More)
We present a novel method for estimating respiratory rate in real time from the photoplethysmogram (PPG) obtained from pulse oximetry. Three respiratory-induced variations (frequency, intensity, and… (More)

Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) enables researchers to conduct studies in situations where use of other functional imaging methods is impossible. An important shortcoming of fNIRS is… (More)
This paper reports on a novel method for quantifying the cortical activity of a patient during general anesthesia as a surrogate measure of the patient's level of consciousness. The proposed… (More)
This article reports on the development and implementation of an algorithm for the design of spatially-distributed feedback controllers for the wide variety of physical processes that are included in… (More)
This paper presents consistent criteria for evaluating the selection of tuning parameters for an industrial model predictive control of large-scale cross-directional (CD) processes using a… (More)
BACKGROUND
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) can lead to daytime sleepiness, growth failure and developmental delay in children. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard to diagnose SDB, is a highly… (More)
It is shown how genetic algorithms can be applied for system identification of both continuous and discrete time systems. It is shown that they are effective in both domains and are able to directly… (More)
The photoplethysmogram (PPG) obtained from pulse oximetry measures local variations of blood volume in tissues, reflecting the peripheral pulse modulated by heart activity, respiration and other… (More)
