Rest tremor quantification based on fuzzy inference systems and wearable sensors.

Background: Currently the most consistent, widely accepted and detailed instrument to rate Parkinson's disease (PD) is the Movement Disorder Society sponsored Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). However, the motor examination is based upon subjective human interpretation trying to capture a snapshot of PD status. Wearable sensors and machine learning have been broadly used to analyze PD motor disorder, but still most ratings and examinations lay outside MDS-UPDRS standards.

Airport take-off noise assessment aimed at identify responsible aircraft classes.

Assessment of aircraft noise is an important task of nowadays airports in order to fight environmental noise pollution given the recent discoveries on the exposure negative effects on human health. Noise monitoring and estimation around airports mostly use aircraft noise signals only for computing statistical indicators and depends on additional data sources so as to determine required inputs such as the aircraft class responsible for noise pollution. In this sense, the noise monitoring and estimation systems have been tried to improve by creating methods for obtaining more information from aircraft noise signals, especially real-time aircraft class recognition.
