The knowledge of transitions between regular, laminar or chaotic behavior is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms behind complex systems. While several linear approaches are often insufficient to describe such processes, there are several nonlinear methods which however require rather long time observations. To overcome these difficulties, we propose measures of complexity based on vertical structures in recurrence plots and apply them to the logistic map as well as to heart rate variability data. For the logistic map these measures enable us not only to detect transitions between chaotic and periodic states, but also to identify laminar states, i.e. chaos-chaos transitions. The traditional recurrence quantification analysis fails to detect the latter transitions. Applying our new measures to the heart rate variability data, we are able to detect and quantify the laminar phases before a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia occurs thereby facilitating a prediction of such an event. Our findings could be of importance for the therapy of malignant cardiac arrhythmias.

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), suitable for the analysis of nonstationary time series, has confirmed the existence of persistent long-range correlations in healthy heart rate variability data. In this paper, we present the incorporation of the
alpha-beta filter to DFA to determine patterns in the power-law behaviour that can be found in these correlations. Well-known simulated scenarios and real data involving normal and pathological circumstances were used to evaluate this process. The results presented here suggest the existence of evolving patterns, not always following a uniform power-law behaviour, that cannot be described by scaling exponents estimated using a linear procedure over two predefined ranges. Instead, the power law is observed to have a continuous variation with segment length. We also show that the study of these patterns, avoiding initial assumptions about the nature of the data, may confer advantages to DFA by revealing more clearly abnormal physiological conditions detected in congestive heart failure patients related to the existence of dominant characteristic scales.
We present a new event trigger generator based on the Hilbert-Huang transform, named EtaGen ($eta$Gen). It decomposes a time-series data into several adaptive modes without imposing a priori bases on the data. The adaptive modes are used to find tran
sients (excesses) in the background noises. A clustering algorithm is used to gather excesses corresponding to a single event and to reconstruct its waveform. The performance of EtaGen is evaluated by how many injections in the LIGO simulated data are found. EtaGen is viable as an event trigger generator when compared directly with the performance of Omicron, which is currently the best event trigger generator used in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration.
The heart beat data recorded from samples before and during meditation are analyzed using two different scaling analysis methods. These analyses revealed that mediation severely affects the long range correlation of heart beat of a normal heart. More
over, it is found that meditation induces periodic behavior in the heart beat. The complexity of the heart rate variability is quantified using multiscale entropy analysis and recurrence analysis. The complexity of the heart beat during mediation is found to be more.
Six-axes force/torque sensors are increasingly needed in mechanical engineering. Here, we introduce a flexure-based design for such sensors, which solves some of the drawbacks of the existing designs. In particular, it is backlash-free, it can be wir
elessly monitored, it exactly enforces 90 degrees angles between axes, and it enables visual inspection of the monitored system thanks to its hollow structure. We first describe the generic design, implementation and calibration procedure. We then demonstrate its capabilities through three illustration examples relevant to the field of tribology: low friction measurements under ultra-high vacuum, multi-directional friction measurements of elastomer contacts, and force/torque-based contact position monitoring.
Based on the theoretical description of Position-Position-Velocity(PPV) statistics in Lazarian & Pogosyan(2000), we introduce a new technique called the Velocity Decomposition Algorithm(VDA) in separating the PPV fluctuations arising from velocity an
d density fluctuations. Using MHD turbulence simulations, we demonstrate its promise in retrieving the velocity fluctuations from PPV cube in various physical conditions and its prospects in accurately tracing the magnetic field. We find that for localized clouds, the velocity fluctuations are most prominent at the wing part of the spectral line, and they dominate the density fluctuations. The same velocity dominance applies to extended HI regions undergoing galactic rotation. Our numerical experiment demonstrates that velocity channels arising from the cold phase of atomic hydrogen (HI) are still affected by velocity fluctuations at small scales. We apply the VDA to HI GALFA-DR2 data corresponding to the high-velocity cloud HVC186+19-114 and high latitude galactic diffuse HI data. Our study confirms the crucial role of velocity fluctuations in explaining why linear structures are observed within PPV cubes. We discuss the implications of VDA for both magnetic field studies and predicting polarized galactic emission that acts as the foreground for the Cosmic Microwave Background studies. Additionally, we address the controversy related to the filamentary nature of the HI channel maps and explain the importance of velocity fluctuations in the formation of structures in PPV data cubes. VDA will allow astronomers to obtain velocity fluctuations from almost every piece of spectroscopic PPV data and allow direct investigations of the turbulent velocity field in observations.
