Signal Processing

The SoftCast scheme has been proposed as a promising alternative to traditional video broadcasting systems in wireless environments. In its current form, SoftCast performs image decoding at the receiver side by using a Linear Least Square Error (LLSE) estimator. Such approach maximizes the reconstructed quality in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). However, we show that the LLSE induces an annoying blur effect at low Channel Signal-to-Noise Ratio (CSNR) quality. To cancel this artifact, we propose to replace the LLSE estimator by the Zero-Forcing (ZF) one.

Due to the multi-path propagation and extreme sensitivity to minor changes in the propagation medium, the coda waves open new fascinating possibilities in non-destructive evaluation and acoustic imaging. However, their noise-like structure and high spurious sensitivity for ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, and others) make it challenging to perform localized inspection in the overall coda wave evolution.

The Temperature and Speed Control Lab (TSC-Lab) is an application of feedback control with an ESP32, an LED, two heaters, two temperature sensors, one direct current motor and an optical encoder as a revolution per minute (rpm) meter. The heater power output is adjusted to maintain the desired temperature setpoint. Thermal energy from the heater is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation to the temperature sensor.

Many different signals are gained from the human body, they are called Biomedical signals or biosignals, they can be at cell level, organ level, or molecular level. electroencephalogram (EEG), which is electrical activity from the brain, electrical activity from the heart called electrocardiogram (ECG), electrical activity from the muscle sound signals known as electromyogram (EMG), the electroretinogram from the eye, and so on. Studying these signals can be so helpful for doctors, it can help them examine and predict and cure many diseases.
