Multi-Rate Unscented Kalman Filtering for Pose Estimation: Using a car-like vehicle-platform

Pose estimation through fusion of GNSS with secondary sensors has long been an established field. With the developments surrounding autonomous navigation over the past decade this topic has gained extra importance. In the current literature GNSS based pose and localisation is often improved through fusion with either a IMU}or VS with the goal of...

Estimation of cardiac contractility, left-ventricular relaxation and cardiac output during rotary blood pump support: using the left-ventricular pressure

Objective: Estimators to accurately monitor ventricular relaxation, cardiac contractility and cardiac output (CO) during support of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), based on the left ventricular pressure (LVP) and pump-intrinsic signals, were developed. The aim was to continuously monitor these cardiac parameters, hereby tracking the...
