Pressure is one of the essential variables to give information about engine condition and monitoring. Direct recording of this signal is complex and invasive, while angular velocity can be measured. Nonetheless, the challenge is to predict the cylinder pressure using the shaft kinematics accurately. In this paper, a time-delay neural network (TDNN), interpreted as a finite pulse response (FIR) filter, is proposed to estimate the in-cylinder pressure of a single-cylinder internal combustion engine (ICE) from fluctuations in shaft angular velocity. The experiments are conducted over data obtained from an ICE operating in 12 different states by changing the angular velocity and load. The TDNN’s delay is adjusted to get the highest possible correlation-based score. Our methodology can predict pressure with an R2 >0.9, avoiding complicated pre-processing steps.

Introduced into theaters in the 1860s, Pepper's Ghost startled theatergoers with an effect that allowed live people or objects to materialize into the scene. The illusion of a ghost is an actor located forward of and below the stage floor. The glass illustrates the reflection of the offstage "ghost," while the leftmost "ghost" simulates what the audiences see. Modern versions of this effect consist of a completely new way of projecting video to create the illusion of life-size, full-color, moving images but projected as 2D images into a set. The mind of the audience creates the 3D illusion. This technology enables a new line of communication, which is called "holographic telepresence" that delivers a life-sized holographic experience in real time, enabling to connect more effectively and make an impact on audiences. The technology reduces expenses and saves on time travel. This project identified the parameters for correct setup of holographic telepresence, so that future users will be able to replicate and use with ease. The project used action research, which provides fast and effective solutions. The results demonstrated that it was possible that by defining the parameters and a guide for setting up a holographic telepresence.
