text: Application of prognostics and health management (PHM) in the field of Proton
Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is emerging as an important tool in increasing
the reliability and availability of these systems. Though a lot of work is currently
being conducted to develop PHM systems for fuel cells, various challenges have
been encountered including the self-healing effect after characterization as well
as accelerated degradation due to dynamic loading, all which make RUL predictions
a difficult task. In this study, a prognostic approach based on adaptive particle
filter algorithm is proposed. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the introduction
of a self-healing factor after each characterization and the adaption of the degradation
model parameters to fit to the changing degradation trend. An ensemble of five
different state models based on weighted mean is then developed. The results show
that the method is effective in estimating the remaining useful life of PEM fuel
cells, with majority of the predictions falling within 5\% error. The method was
employed in the IEEE 2014 PHM Data Challenge and led to our team emerging the
winner of the RUL category of the challenge.

text: This contribution describes a step-wise source counting algorithm to determine
the number of speakers in an offline scenario. Each speaker is identified by a
variational expectation maximization (VEM) algorithm for complex Watson mixture
models and therefore directly yields beamforming vectors for a subsequent speech
separation process. An observation selection criterion is proposed which improves
the robustness of the source counting in noise. The algorithm is compared to an
alternative VEM approach with Gaussian mixture models based on directions of arrival
and shown to deliver improved source counting accuracy. The article concludes
by extending the offline algorithm towards a low-latency online estimation of
the number of active sources from the streaming input data.

text: Today we can identify a big gap between requirement specification and the
generation of test environments. This article extends the Classification Tree
Method for Embedded Systems (CTM/ES) to fill this gap by new concepts for the
precise specification of stimuli for operational ranges of continuous control
systems. It introduces novel means for continuous acceptance criteria definition
and for functional coverage definition.
