  This project presents an engineering low cost solution to a contemporary issue of speech recognition in a headphone. The “Smart Headphone” has been brought out as a prototype design in which two principles of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) have been achieved using a Digital Signal Processor (TMS320C5416). The system will detect the surrounding environment in real time and process the significant information to the user and thereby reducing the risk of accidents. It can warn users of incoming traffic (e.g. fire engines and ambulances) nearby and surrounding danger. It can be controlled by the user's voice commands; such as increasing or decreasing volume with the help of an interface controlled by a microcontroller (MSP430F2013) and the voice recognition module VR 3.1. The multifunction intelligent headphone will also notify the user if someone is trying to talk to them. The system presented here has profound implications for future studies of Wearable Computing and would help the society in a great way reducing the amount of traffic accidents suffered by people due to wearing headphones while driving or walking unaware of the surroundings.

  This paper presents a new method of random noise cancellation for removing artefacts from biomedical signals using an adaptive line enhancer (ALE). The ALE is implemented using proposed time domain variable step size Griffith least mean square (VSGLMS) algorithm. The technique is based on the adaptation of the gradient of the error surface. The method makes both the step size and the gradient free from observation noise and reduces the gradient mis-adjustment error. Here, both the gradient and the scale factor for the step size are free from the input noise effects, which makes the algorithm robust to both stationary and non-stationary observation noise. Further the additional computational load involved for this is marginal. The VSGLMS adaptive filter technique for ALE is tested on noise cancellation of two types of bio-medical signals — separation of electro cardiogram (ECG) signal from a background of electro myogram (EMG) and heart sound signal (HSS) from lung sound signal (LSS). Application of VSGLAM–ALE for the separation of HSS from LSS and ECG from EMG has been demonstrated using synthetic White Gaussian noise (WGN). It is found that VSGLMS–ALE can separate the desired signals like ECG or HSS at an input SNR of -5 dB to 27 dB. The performance of VSGLMS is compared with state-of-the-art least mean square LMS–ALE and normalised LMS–ALE. The results of PSDs, time domain waveforms, and mean square error (MSE) have proven that VSGLMS performs better than advanced techniques.

  The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important bioelectrical signal which gives valuable information about the functional aspects of the heart both in normal and abnormal conditions. For several decades a considerable amount of research activity has been directed towards advancement in the clinical diagnosing of this disease using surface ECG and symptoms. This paper compares different methods that have evolved over the years for elimination of different types of noise present in ECG and for characterizing ECG for the detection of myocardial ischemia and infarction which is a life threatening heart disease. The first part of the review gives broad overview of the research undergone in the area of denoising methods deployed and second part describes different types of ischemia and methods to detect the disease using ECG.
