Speeding up backpropagation of gradients through the Kalman filter via closed-form expressions

In this paper we provide novel closed-form expressions enabling differentiation of any scalar function of the Kalman filter's outputs with respect to all its tuning parameters and to the measurements. The approach differs from the previous well-known sensitivity equations in that it is based on a backward (matrix) gradient calculation, that leads to drastic reductions of the overall computational cost. It is our hope that practitioners seeking numerical efficiency and reliability will benefit from the concise and exact equations derived in this paper and the methods that build upon them. They may notably lead to speed-ups when interfacing a neural network with a Kalman filter.Comment: Submitte

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES FOR DEVELOPMENT HIGH-POWER AUDIO SPEAKER DEVICES PERFORMANCE USING PERMANENT NdFeB MAGNETS SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY

In this paper the authors shows the research made for improving high-power audio speaker devices performance using permanent NdFeB magnets special technology. Magnetic losses inside these audio devices are due to mechanical system frictions and to thermal effect of Joules eddy currents. In this regard, by special technology, were made conical surfaces at top plate and center pin. Analysing results obtained by modelling the magnetic circuit finite element method using electronic software package,was measured increase efficiency by over 10 %, from 1,136T to13T
