A High Accuracy and High Sensitivity System Architecture for Electrical Impedance Tomography System

A high accuracy and high sensitivity system architecture is proposed for the read-out circuit of electrical impedance tomography system-on-chip. The switched ratiometric technique is applied in the proposed architecture. The proposed system architecture minimizes the device noise by processing signals from both read-out electrodes and the stimulus. The quantized signals are post-processed in the digital processing unit for proper signal demodulation and impedance ratio calculation. Our proposed architecture improves the sensitivity of the read-out circuit, cancels out the gain fluctuations in the system, and overcomes the effects of motion artifacts on measurements.

Heart Rate Estimation from Ballistocardiography Based on Hilbert Transform and Phase Vocoder

This paper presents a robust method to monitor heart rate (HR) from BCG (Ballistocardiography) signal, which is acquired from the sensor embedded in a chair or a mattress. The proposed algorithm addresses the shortfalls in traditional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based approaches by introducing Hilbert Transform to extract the pulse envelope that models the repetition of J-peaks in BCG signal. The frequency resolution is further enhanced by applying FFT and phase vocoder to the pulse envelope. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by experiment from 7 subjects. For HR estimation, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.90 beats per minute (BPM) and standard deviation of absolute error (STD) of 1.14 BPM are obtained. Pearson correlation coefficient between estimated HR and ground truth HR of 0.98 is also achieved.

The next-to-next-to-leading order soft function for top quark pair production

We present the first calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order threshold soft function for top quark pair production at hadron colliders, with full velocity dependence of the massive top quarks. Our results are fully analytic, and can be entirely written in terms of generalized polylogarithms. The scale-dependence of our result coincides with the well-known two-loop anomalous dimension matrix including the three-parton correlations, which at the two-loop order only appear when more than one massive partons are involved in the scattering process. In the boosted limit, our result exhibits the expected factorization property of mass logarithms, which leads to a consistent extraction of the soft fragmentation function. The next-to-next-to-leading order soft function obtained in this paper is an important ingredient for threshold resummation at the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.
