Digital control systems.

Typical implementations of control systems are usually configured as local systems, in which the costs rise at an exponential rate with the increasing complexity of the systems. In the case of distributed solutions, the operated telecommunication networks require expensive implementations, in order to meet real-time requirements.

The digital systems for object control via broadly distributed and non-dedicated computer networks, designed and developed at the Institute of Information Technology, enable reduction of the total control system implementation costs. 

Within the framework of projects undertaken, the team designs and implements digital systems for control and diagnostics of industrial objects and distributed systems. Various mechanisms are subject to analysis to improve the quality of services and increase the reliability and safety of network communications. 

This technology will be of interest to manufacturers of software (e.g. the environment of the Internet of Things).

 

Software for computer simulations and photonic structures.

Professional design of photonic structures requires support for modelling and prototyping processes.

The Institute of Physics offers dedicated, innovative software for computer analysis of photonic structure properties and parameters. This software package allows for computer simulation of the physical properties of photonic structures, with modelling of heat distribution, current flows, amplification in quantum wells and light propagation in photonic structures. The team’s experience and expertise are unique on a national scale. 

This technology will be of interest to ICT companies using semi-conductor technologies.

 

TuneFollower program and a set of tools for analysis and processing of acoustic signals.

Sound design and special effects creation requires thorough sound analysis and advanced signal processing tools.

The TuneFollower tool, designed and developed at the Institute of Information Technology, is intended to seek melodic patterns in multimedia databases. It enables comparisons of many thousands of melodic sequences per second, identifying the degree of similarity, regardless of local tempo changes and other disturbances. Processing and analysis of acoustic signals is possible thanks to the use of a library implementing an integrated framework, whose modular structure allows for simple implementation and use of algorithms of two basic types: filters and feature extractors .

This technology will be of interest to manufacturers of software products.

 

Applications of mathematics in industry and biomedicine.

Mathematical modelling is the definition of a specific problem in a mathematical language. The relationships contained in the model reveal an interpretation referring to specific elements of a section of the modelled reality.
