The wind energy usage is an attractive promise for the energy conscious people. This paper introduces and evaluates a small scale urban wind turbine application. Although the turbine works by its original characteristics, the output power/energy falls far away the expectations. The wind we feel daily in the cities may be too much for the human abstention but it is few for the nominal operation of the turbines that requires more than 40 km/h wind speed. We show also a calculation method where based on short-term local wind measurements we define the relation to other, long-term metering. The yearly production can be estimated on base of the decade long wind data.

The Minnesota Code is a hierarchical rule-based system for the evaluation of reference ECG signals. One of its weaknesses is the crisp value based hierarchy system. The proper and effective modeling of the rule hierarchy is the key point of the Minnesota Code. In this paper the authors present a possible method to improve the decision model of the Minnesota Code by applying fuzzy ontology to represent the decision process as a hierarchical description of important classes (concepts) along with the description of the properties (of the instances) of each concept.

Paper deals with area of virtual tools that are based on principles of open source philosophy. It considers their utilization for purposes of composite lay-up technology. Virtual software and hardware elements necessary for work in augmented reality environment are described. In the beginning it brings on the general problems of applications of virtual components and composite lay-up process. Further the fundamental philosophy of new created application is clarified and the process called visual scripting is described, which was used for development of new application. It also provides more detailed view on particular logical sections. In these sections necessary data are harvested and compared with values from relevant virtual arrays. From the hardware point of view, new device is developed for adjustment actions of working table. This enables detailed control of any realized manufacturing process. Positioning device can determine and set the position of basic working plane using the commands from computer interface or manual changes. Key information about exact position of individual composite layers are obtained in real time thanks to the built-in sensors. One of them manages the data change of the desk position (X, Y, Z), other checks the rotation around main axis situated in the center of the table. Newly created software consists of 4 main logical areas with data packets obtained from computer and also from external devices. The displaying section then can display the movement process of virtual item (composite layer) according to its trajectory. This paper contributes with new attitude in realization of composite lay-up technology. In the end it considers possible improvements and other application possibilities that should be developed in future research activities.
论文讨论了基于开源哲学原则的虚拟工具领域。考虑了它们在复合铺层技术中的应用。描述了在增强现实环境中工作所必需的虚拟软件和硬件元素。一开始就带来了虚拟元件应用和复合铺层工艺的一般性问题。进一步阐明了创建新应用程序的基本原理,并描述了用于开发新应用程序的可视化脚本的过程。它还提供了关于特定逻辑部分的更详细的视图。在这些小节中收集必要的数据,并与相关虚数组中的值进行比较。在硬件方面,研制了工作台动作调整装置。这使任何实现的制造过程的详细控制。定位装置可以通过计算机界面的命令或手动更改来确定和设置基本工作平面的位置。由于内置传感器,可以实时获得各个复合层的精确位置的关键信息。其中一个管理桌子位置(X, Y, Z)的数据更改,另一个检查位于桌子中心的主轴的旋转。新创建的软件由4个主要逻辑区域组成,其中包含从计算机和外部设备获得的数据包。显示部分可以根据虚拟物品(复合层)的运动轨迹显示其运动过程。本文为实现复合铺层技术提供了新的思路。最后,它考虑了在未来的研究活动中应该开发的可能的改进和其他应用可能性。

The AERObot autopilot for small and medium size unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) developed at Óbuda Universtiy has multiple control systems. It is possible to switch between the control systems even during in flight. The purpose of the current research was to examine the applicability of full fuzzy flight control (takeoff, cruise and land) in unmanned aerial vehicles instead of partial or hybrid control [1, 2, 3]. The easy tuning of the parameters and features is quite important because one autopilot should control different sized and designed planes. Since the safety of the flight, life and value is the most important, real test flights should always be performed after many hours of computer simulation. For this purpose Hardware In the Loop simulation was used. The advantage of this simulation is that the very same environment can be created as in real flights (e.g. atmospheric, aerodynamic, propulsion model, different weather conditions). After successful simulations the real test flights can be started.

With an increase in web-based products and services, user profiling has created opportunities for both businesses and other organizations to provide a channel for user awareness as well as to achieve high user satisfaction. Apart from traditional collaborative and content-based methods, a number of classification and clustering algorithms have been used for user profiling. Instance Based Learner (IBL) classifier is a comprehensive form of the Nearest Neighbour (NN) algorithm and it is suitable for user profiling as users with similar profiles are likely to share similar personal interests and preferences. In IBL every attribute has an equal effect on the classification regardless of their relevance. In this paper, we proposed a weighted classification method, namely Weighted Instance Based Learner (WIBL), to build and handle user profiles. With WIBL, we introduce Per Category Feature (PCF) method to IBL in order to distinguish the effect of attributes on classification. PCF is an attribute weighting method and it assigns weights to attributes using conditional probabilities. The direct use of this method with IBL is not possible. Hence, two possible solutions were also proposed to address this problem. This study is aimed to test the performance of WIBL for user profiling. To validate the performance of WIBL, a series of computer simulations were carried out. These simulations were conducted using a large user profile database that includes 5000 training and 1000 test instances (users). Here, each user is represented with three sets of profile information; demographic, interest and preference data. The results illustrate that WIBL with PCF methods performs better than IBL on user profiling by reducing the error up to 28% on the selected dataset.
随着基于web的产品和服务的增加,用户分析为企业和其他组织创造了机会,为用户意识提供了一个渠道,并实现了高用户满意度。除了传统的协作和基于内容的方法外,许多分类和聚类算法已被用于用户分析。基于实例的学习者(IBL)分类器是最近邻(NN)算法的一种综合形式,它适用于用户特征分析,因为具有相似特征的用户可能具有相似的个人兴趣和偏好。在IBL中,无论其相关性如何,每个属性对分类都具有相同的影响。在本文中,我们提出了一种加权分类方法,即加权实例学习器(weighted Instance Based Learner, WIBL)来构建和处理用户档案。在WIBL中,为了区分属性对分类的影响,我们将PCF方法引入到IBL中。PCF是一种属性加权方法,它使用条件概率为属性分配权重。直接使用这种方法治疗IBL是不可能的。因此,还提出了两种可能的解决方案来解决这个问题。本研究旨在测试WIBL用于用户分析的性能。为了验证WIBL的性能,进行了一系列的计算机仿真。这些模拟是使用包含5000个训练和1000个测试实例(用户)的大型用户概要数据库进行的。在这里,每个用户用三组概要信息表示;人口统计、兴趣和偏好数据。结果表明,使用PCF方法的WIBL在用户分析上的表现优于IBL,在所选数据集上的误差减少了28%。

The radar system utilized for through wall detection and tracking of multiple targets often cannot detect all of them. It results from the fact that the targets which are moving close to the radar antenna system absorb the large amount of energy and the electromagnetic waves reflected from the other targets have small magnitude. This problem can be redeemed by use of the weak signal enhancement methods in combination with proper target detectors. In this paper, six methods which three new are described and tested with the combination of different CFAR detectors. The achieved results confirm the ability of weak signal enhancement methods to improve the result of radar detection.

The paper presents a brief overview of the projects integrating the development of ICTs with the rehabilitation system for people with risk of fall that are solved under the Ambient Assistive Technology (AAL) programme. The paper includes description of our concept of the diagnostic and rehabilitation system with preventative features to decrease the risks of fall and its consequences in elderly. It integrates functions of two systems developed within the two research projects MonAMI (6FP) and SMILING (7FP) where we participated. The main goal is to ensure higher safety for seniors who are in risk of falls and are living alone. The first module of the integrated rehabilitation system is aimed to identification of falls and emergency communication system for the households of elderly living alone. The platform for that is system developed under the 6FP - MonAMI. The second module of the diagnostic and rehabilitation system plays a preventive role as a home rehabilitation device used for regular training of gait during daily activities. The device is based on an innovation of the motorized mechatronic shoe TUKE developed under the 7FP project SMILING. Users train their walk ability during performance of everyday tasks while solving unexpected perturbations simulating influence of external environment by surmounting the uncertainty when stepping on. The complex system is undertaking the challenge to come in market where we see an absence of preventive, diagnostic-rehabilitation centers aimed on people (elderly) with risk of fall. The end users will be rehabilitation clinics, geriatric centers, social services and condition centers, but preferably individual users, mostly seniors.
