When a business deadline looms and you have work to finish, few things are more frustrating than a computer that's suddenly become sluggish. Although occasional slowdowns in your PC's performance are normal, prolonged speed problems indicate a CPU spike -- one process is stuck, consuming excess CPU and keeping other programs from running properly. Windows Task Manager displays the tasks running on your computer and allows you to stop runaway programs. If the symptoms persist, malware might be the culprit; a thorough scan with Microsoft Security Essentials or another anti-malware product may reveal a virus monopolizing the CPU.

Click the 'Processes' tab to display a list of all processes currently active on your computer. Click the 'CPU' column heading twice. This sorts all the processes in descending order of CPU use. Note that most processes show zero CPU use; this is normal, as these programs are idle.
3.
Examine the top of the list. You may see a program that's using more than 50 percent of the CPU. If this is the 'System Idle Process,' your PC is not having a CPU spike, although you should perform a virus scan. Otherwise, click the name of the process to highlight it, then click the 'End Process' button. The Task Manager displays a message, 'Warning: Terminating a process can cause undesired results including loss of data and system stability… Are you sure you want to terminate the process?'

Microsoft Security Essentials2.
Select the 'Full' radio button under 'Scan options:.' Click the 'Scan now' button. Allow an hour or more for the software to scan your computer's hard drive; the time depends on your hard drive's capacity and the number of files on it. When the scan finishes, Security Essentials shows either a red 'Clean PC' button or a monitor with a green check mark indicating the program found no problems.
3.
Click the 'Show details' link if Security Essentials has found malware. On rare occasions, the program interprets new, unfamiliar legitimate software as a virus. If you recognize a file as something you want to keep, click its check box to clear it from the list. The program will remove only checked items.
4.
Click the red 'Clean PC' button should it appear. The program takes a few minutes to remove malware files from your computer. Depending on the outcome, you may have to reboot your PC when the cleanup finishes.

1. In the top menu bar click “Toolpaths” and then “Material Setup”. Here set a material thickness and ensure the
material z is at the top of the block and the model position is at the bottom. The material thickness needs to be the same as the slot width in order for the model to fit together.
2. Within “Toolpaths” in the project tree, select the outline vectors and create a profile toolpath around the outside of the selected vectors with a start height 0 mm and end height 3 mm (material thickness). Tick the “Add Bridges” box and specify the bridge quantity and properties.
The bridge positions can be moved using the “Edit Bridges” button and dragging the bridges on the model. Select an appropriate tool and then calculate. Ensure the tool is small enough to machine the slot geometries.
3. Select “Toolpaths” on the project tree, then select “Simulate Toolpaths”. This gives a preview of the machine output.
4. Click the save toolpaths icon and select the machine file format appropriate for your CNC machine.
5. Save the toolpath and this file can then be exported to your machine.
I have the following signal which contains some distorted data
I'm trying to remove those spikes without damaging my signal, I've tried the
medfilt1 function but it smoothed out the correct signal as well which is not wanted. Filtering cannot be used because of the frequency overlap between the wanted and unwanted signal. I also tried a moving window which will compare the value with the median of this window and if the point is much higher than it it will set it to the median as shown bellow:
I've gotten rid of the spikes but also some of the signal's distinct peaks were gone as shown in the figure bellow
How do I achieve the best denoising in a simple way?
Thanks

You can use median filter or moving average filter. Whatever filter it is, you need to use some kind of threshold. Threshold the spikes and replace them with your filter result.

If you can upgrade to R2017a, you may want to check out the
filloutliers function. There are various methods you can use to detect the spikes, and similarly a variety of choices as to how to fill them.
If you want to basically get a median filter but only on the spikes, then you can specify
'movmedian' as the find method and 'center' as the fill method.
