  text: "\r\nPredictive Maintenance as a desirable maintenance strategy in industrial
    applications relies on suitable condition monitoring solutions to reduce costs
    and risks of the monitored technical systems. In general, those solutions utilize
    model-based or data-driven methods to diagnose the current state or predict future
    states of monitored technical systems. However, both methods have their advantages
    and drawbacks. Combining both methods can improve uncertainty consideration and
    accuracy. Different combination approaches of those hybrid methods exist to exploit
    synergy effects. The choice of an appropriate approach depends on different requirements
    and the goal behind the selection of a hybrid approach.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn this
    work, the hybrid approach for estimating remaining useful lifetime takes potential
    uncertainties into account. Therefore, a data-driven estimation of new measurements
    is integrated within a model-based method. To consider uncertainties within the
    system, a differentiation between different system behavior is realized throughout
    diverse states of degradation.\r\n\r\nThe developed hybrid prediction approach
    bases on a particle filtering method combined with a machine learning method,
    to estimate the remaining useful lifetime of technical systems. Particle filtering
    as a Monte Carlo simulation technique is suitable to map and propagate uncertainties.
    Moreover, it is a state-of-the-art model-based method for predicting remaining
    useful lifetime of technical systems. To integrate uncertainties a multi-model
    particle filtering approach is employed. In general, resampling as a part of the
    particle filtering approach has the potential to lead to an accurate prediction.
    However, in the case where no future measurements are available, it may increase
    the uncertainty of the prediction. By estimating new measurements, those uncertainties
    are reduced within the data-driven part of the approach. Hence, both parts of
    the hybrid approach strive to account for and reduce uncertainties.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRubber-metal-elements
    are employed as a use-case to evaluate the developed approach. Rubber-metal-elements,
    which are used to isolate vibrations in various systems, such as railways, trucks
    and wind turbines, show various uncertainties in their behavior and their degradation.
    Those uncertainties are caused by diverse inner and outer factors, such as manufacturing
    influences and operating conditions. By expert knowledge the influences are described,
    analyzed and if possible reduced. However, the remaining uncertainties are considered
    within the hybrid prediction method. Relative temperature is the selected measurand
    to describe the element’s degradation. In lifetime tests, it is measured as the
    difference between the element’s temperature and the ambient temperature. Thereby,
    the influence of the ambient temperature on the element’s temperature is taken
    into account. Those elements show three typical states of degradation that are
    identified within the temperature measurements. Depending on the particular state
    of degradation a new measurement is estimated within the hybrid approach to reduce
    potential uncertainties.\r\n\r\nFinally, the performance of the developed hybrid
    method is compared to a model-based method for estimating the remaining useful
    lifetime of the same elements. Suitable performance indices are implemented to
    underline the differences between the results."

  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: A marginalized particle filter is proposed for performing single channel speech
    enhancement with a non-linear dynamic state model. The system consists of a particle
    filter for tracking line spectral pair (LSP) parameters and a Kalman filter per
    particle for speech enhancement. The state model for the LSPs has been learnt
    on clean speech training data. In our approach parameters and speech samples are
    processed at different time scales by assuming the parameters to be constant for
    small blocks of data. Further enhancement is obtained by an iteration which can
    be applied on these small blocks. The experiments show that similar SNR gains
    are obtained as with the Kalman-LM-iterative algorithm. However better values
    of the noise level and the log-spectral distance are achieved

  text: Spam as unsolicited e-mail to a large number of recipients is known to ecome
    an increasingly disturbing and costly issue of electronic business and internet
    traffic. Mainly technical-oriented approaches are applied with a focus on blocking,
    filtering, and authentication mechanisms based on the domain name system. They
    come along with different drawbacks and have all low effectiveness in common.
    The article sketches these approaches, shows its limitations, and proposes an
    account-based approach where the number of e-mails per day and account is restricted.

  text: The paper is concerned with binaural signal processing for a bimodal human-robot
    interface with hearing and vision. The two microphone signals are processed to
    obtain an enhanced single-channel input signal for the subsequent speech recognizer
    and to localize the acoustic source, an important information for establishing
    a natural human-robot communication. We utilize a robust adaptive algorithm for
    filter-and-sum beamforming (FSB) and extract speaker direction information from
    the resulting FIR filter coefficients. Further, particle filtering is applied
    which conducts a nonlinear Bayesian tracking of speaker movement. Good location
    accuracy can be achieved even in highly reverberant environments. The results
    obtained outperform the conventional generalized cross correlation (GCC) method.
