Abstract

The reliability of the internal micro-motors is crucial for the performance and lifespan of electric toothbrushes. In this paper, a vibration-based fault detection method is proposed to identify micro-motor defects in electric toothbrushes. A dedicated signal acquisition device was designed and developed to capture the vibration signals of micro-motors using a high-precision accelerometer. To effectively characterize the micro-motor conditions, comprehensive features were extracted from the raw vibration data in both the time and frequency domains. A random forest (RF) algorithm was then employed to evaluate the importance of all extracted features. To better interpret the extracted features based on fault mechanisms, and to reduce dimensionality and computational overhead while avoiding overfitting, the top three features with the highest importance scores were selected to form the optimal feature subset. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) model was utilized to classify the motor states based on the selected features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method, combining RF-based feature selection and SVM classification, achieves outstanding diagnostic performance. Specifically, the model yields a balanced accuracy of 94.44%, a defect recall of 88.89%, a defect F1-score of 94.12%, a Matthews correlation coefficient of 93.74%, a geometric mean of 94.28%, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 100.00%. These robust metrics confirm that the proposed approach can accurately and efficiently detect micro-motor faults in electric toothbrushes, providing a practical and reliable solution for quality control and condition monitoring in manufacturing.

From Continuous sEMG Signals to Discrete Muscle State Tokens: A Robust and Interpretable Representation Framework

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals exhibit substantial inter-subject variability and are highly susceptible to noise, posing challenges for robust and interpretable decoding. To address these limitations, we propose a discrete representation of sEMG signals based on a physiology-informed tokenization framework. The method employs a sliding window aligned with the minimal muscle contraction cycle to isolate individual muscle activation events. From each window, ten time-frequency features, including root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MDF), are extracted, and K-means clustering is applied to group segments into representative muscle-state tokens. We also introduce a large-scale benchmark dataset, ActionEMG-43, comprising 43 diverse actions and sEMG recordings from 16 major muscle groups across the body. Based on this dataset, we conduct extensive evaluations to assess the inter-subject consistency, representation capacity, and interpretability of the proposed sEMG tokens. Our results show that the token representation exhibits high inter-subject consistency (Cohen's Kappa = 0.82+-0.09), indicating that the learned tokens capture consistent and subject-independent muscle activation patterns. In action recognition tasks, models using sEMG tokens achieve Top-1 accuracies of 75.5% with ViT and 67.9% with SVM, outperforming raw-signal baselines (72.8% and 64.4%, respectively), despite a 96% reduction in input dimensionality. In movement quality assessment, the tokens intuitively reveal patterns of muscle underactivation and compensatory activation, offering interpretable insights into neuromuscular control. Together, these findings highlight the effectiveness of tokenized sEMG representations as a compact, generalizable, and physiologically meaningful feature space for applications in rehabilitation, human-machine interaction, and motor function analysis.

Adaptive 3D-RoPE: Physics-Aligned Rotary Positional Encoding for Wireless Foundation Models

Wireless foundation models (WFMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for unified channel state information (CSI) acquisition across diverse tasks in sixth-generation (6G) networks. Although WFMs significantly outperform task-specific small models, their zero-shot cross-scenario generalization still remains limited for real-world applications. Existing positional embeddings, the sole interface through which self-attention perceives the temporal-frequency-antenna 3D physical coordinates of CSI, fail to capture the highly dynamic and axis-dependent coherence inherent in wireless channels. This paper proposes Adaptive 3D-RoPE, a channel-driven 3D rotary positional embedding framework for WFMs to dynamically align the 3D positional embeddings with the instantaneous coherence state of heterogeneous CSI. The design proceeds in three stages: first, an axis-wise learnable rotary prior independently preserves the temporal, frequency, and antenna coordinate structures; second, a feature-guided rotary modulation module maps the feature-wise standard deviation of visible CSI tokens to compact, sample-adaptive scales; third, identical coordinate offsets induce dynamically adjusted query-key interactions tailored to the instantaneous channel state. Extensive experiments on both simulated and measured datasets validate the effectiveness of Adaptive 3D-RoPE across three complementary dimensions. It reduces NMSE by 10.14, 6.25, and 4.61 dB relative to baselines under antenna, temporal, and frequency scaling, respectively. It transfers effectively to real-world measured CSI and remains robust under imperfect CSI. Finally, it transfers to the independently designed LWM backbone and beam-prediction task, improving zero-shot Top-1 accuracy by 8.03 percentage points.

Data driven approach for Outdoor Channel Prediction in 5G and Beyond

An evolution of Wireless Communications towards 5G and beyond provides improved user experience in terms of quality of services. Understanding and estimating Channel information plays crucial role in providing better user experience. Traditional methods of channel estimation involves periodically sending pilots (known signals), estimating channel and send back estimated channel information to the BS which increases computational complexity and communication complexity. Hence, we focus on data driven approach for channel estimation. In this work, we explore a channel estimation mechanism at 7GHz frequency band for a given user location. This work involves data generation using Ray tracing mechanism and Machine learning model training that contains feature variables such as transmitter location, user location and target variable as channel coefficient . We explored Support Vector Regression, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Random Forest, XGBoost and MLP. We found via simulations that XG Boost and proposed MLP performs better than Support Vector Regression, KNN and Random forest regression.
