TL;DR: The Leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model in DDF with hypoexponential delay kernel is investigated and finds that the LIFH model is capable to reproduce unimodal, bimodal and multimodal inter-spike- interval distributions which are qualitatively similar with the experimentally observed ISI distributions.
Abstract:
Background: Distributed Delay Framework (DDF) has suggested a mechanism to incorporate
the delay factor in the evolution of the membrane potential of a neuron model in terms of
distributed delay kernel functions. Incorporation of delay in neural networks provide comparatively
more efficient output. Depending on the parameter of investigation, there exist a number of choices
of delay kernel function for a neuron model.
Objective: We investigate the Leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron model in DDF with hypoexponential
delay kernel. LIF neuron with hypo-exponential distributed delay (LIFH) model is
capable to regenerate almost all possible empirically observed spiking patterns.
Methods: In this article, we perform the detailed analytical and simulation based study of the LIFH
model. We compute the explicit expressions for the membrane potential and its first two moment
viz. mean and variance, in analytical study. Temporal information processing functionality of the
LIFH model is investigated during simulation based study.
Results: We find that the LIFH model is capable to reproduce unimodal, bimodal and multimodal
inter-spike- interval distributions which are qualitatively similar with the experimentally observed
ISI distributions.
Conclusion: We also notice the neurotransmitter imbalance situation, where a noisy neuron exhibits
long tail behavior in aforementioned ISI distributions which can be characterized by power law
behavior.

TL;DR: From the numerical results, structural damages can be successfully detected by the proposed method using the partial modes yielded by the optimal measurement with 5% noise level.
Abstract:
Structural damage identification is a very important subject in the field of
civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering according to recent patents. Optimal sensor placement
is one of the key problems to be solved in structural damage identification.
This paper presents a simple and convenient algorithm for optimizing sensor locations for
structural damage identification. Unlike other algorithms found in the published papers, the optimization
procedure of sensor placement is divided into two stages. The first stage is to determine the
key parts in the whole structure by their contribution to the global flexibility perturbation. The
second stage is to place sensors on the nodes associated with those key parts for monitoring possible
damage more efficiently. With the sensor locations determined by the proposed optimization
process, structural damage can be readily identified by using the incomplete modes yielded from
these optimized sensor measurements. In addition, an Improved Ridge Estimate (IRE) technique is
proposed in this study to effectively resist the data errors due to modal truncation and measurement
noise. Two truss structures and a frame structure are used as examples to demonstrate the feasibility
and efficiency of the presented algorithm.
From the numerical results, structural damages can be successfully detected by the proposed
method using the partial modes yielded by the optimal measurement with 5% noise level.
It has been shown that the proposed method is simple to implement and effective for
structural damage identification.

TL;DR: The research results will not only provide theoretical basis and reference for system reliability assessment but also favor the patents on partial accelerated life test.
Abstract:
Reliability analysis for the systems with masked data had been studied by
many scholars. However, most researches focused on a system that is either series or parallel only,
and the component in the system is mainly exponential or Weibull. In engineering practice, it is often
seen that the structure of a system is a combination of series and parallel system, and other types
of components are also used in the system. So it is important to study the reliability analysis of hybrid
systems with modified Weibull components.
For the hybrid system with masked data, the constant stress partial accelerated life test is
performed under type-II progressive hybrid censoring. These data from life test are used to estimate
unknown parameters and reliability index of system. The research results will not only provide theoretical
basis and reference for system reliability assessment but also favor the patents on partial accelerated
life test.
Maximum likelihood estimates of unknown parameters are investigated with the numerical
method. The approximate confidence intervals, and bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters
are constructed by the asymptotic theory and the bootstrap method, respectively.
Maximum likelihood estimations of unknown parameters and reliability index of system
are derived. The approximate confidence intervals and bootstrap confidence intervals for unknown
parameters are proposed. The performance of estimation of unknown parameters and reliability index
are evaluated numerically through Monte Carlo method.
The performance on maximum likelihood estimation method is effective and satisfying.
For the confidence intervals of parameters, bootstrap method outperforms the approximate method.

TL;DR: A stable and reliable kerosene engine fuel injection controller that can meet the control requirement by controlling the air-fuel ratio accurately and the accuracy of the initial injection pulse spectrum and the performance and reliability of the injection controller were verified by the kerosenes engine bench test.
Abstract:
The study of kerosene fuel for gasoline engines is of great significance to
the supply, management, storage and transportation of military fuel, as well as its safety. Small aviation
two-stroke kerosene engine fuel injection controller is the key technology of kerosene engines. It
is very important to improve the performance of kerosene engine by controlling the air-fuel ratio
accurately.
The initial injection pulse spectrum was firstly obtained by numerical calculation in the
absence of kerosene injection pulse spectrum, and then the injection controller was designed based
on the initial injection pulse spectrum.
Firstly, a numerical model of the whole engine was established by using BOOST
software. The air mass flow data of the inlet was obtained through numerical calculation. The
amount of initial engine fuel injection was calculated according to the requirements of air-fuel ratios
in each working condition, from which an initial injection pulse spectrum was obtained. Then, based
on Free scale 16-bit embedded micro-controller MC9S12DP512, a kerosene engine fuel injection
controller was developed, together with the circuit was also designed. According to the initial fuel
injection pulse spectrum, a two-dimensional interpolation algorithm was developed by using assembly
language and C language mixed programming, and the anti-electromagnetic interference ability
of the controller was further enhanced. Finally, the accuracy of the initial injection pulse spectrum
and the performance and reliability of the injection controller of the kerosene engine were verified by
the kerosene engine bench test.
The experimental results show that the numerical model was accurate, and the development
time of the injection controller was shortened by using the numerical model to calculate the
initial injection pulse spectra. The developed controller was stable and reliable, which can meet the
control requirement.

Abstract:
Thermoelectric (TE) materials are used to fabricate the thermoelectric
generator (TEG). Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) is used to convert thermal energy into electrical
energy and vice-versa. Bismuth-Telluride and Antimony Telluride (Bi/Sb)2Te3 alloys are popular
in the research community due to its capability of electrical energy generation in the range of room
temperature. The Phase Change Material (PCM) is a good source of thermal energy storage in
thermal energy harvesting. We have reviewed patents having the information of thermal energy
storage and tried to provide a better cost-effective solution in thermal energy harvesting using
Phase Change Material (PCM) and material used in thermoelectric generator. Finding the most
appropriate TE alloy for a particular application is a challenge in the research community.
The objective of this paper is to conduct a study and analysis of performance parameter
of (Bi/Sb)-Te based TE alloy along with the effect of Phase Change Material (PCM) on energy
generation.
An investigation over a wide range of temperature is performed. A Bi2Te3 based Commercial-
of-the-shelf (COTS) Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) has been experimentally tested in a
controlled temperature environment for the analysis of its efficiency.
This is found that maximum efficiency of 2.12% is achieved at a temperature difference of

TL;DR: The results of testing indicate reliable recognition systems with high accuracy that includes most of the essential and necessary features for any deaf and dumb person in his/her day to day tasks.
Abstract:
People suffering from hearing and speaking disabilities have a few ways of communicating with other people. One of these is to communicate through the use of sign language.
Developing a system for sign language recognition becomes essential for deaf as well as a mute person. The recognition system acts as a translator between a disabled and an able person. This eliminates the hindrances in exchange of ideas. Most of the existing systems are very poorly designed with limited support for the needs of their day to day facilities.
The proposed system embedded with gesture recognition capability has been introduced here which extracts signs from a video sequence and displays them on screen. On the other hand, a speech to text as well as text to speech system is also introduced to further facilitate the grieved people. To get the best out of human computer relationship, the proposed solution consists of various cutting-edge technologies and Machine Learning based sign recognition models which have been trained by using Tensor Flow and Keras library.
The proposed architecture works better than several gesture recognition techniques like background elimination and conversion to HSV because of sharply defined image provided to the model for classification. The results of testing indicate reliable recognition systems with high accuracy that includes most of the essential and necessary features for any deaf and dumb person in his/her day to day tasks.
It’s the need of current technological advances to develop reliable solutions which can be deployed to assist deaf and dumb people to adjust to normal life. Instead of focusing on a standalone technology, a plethora of them have been introduced in this proposed work. Proposed Sign Recognition System is based on feature extraction and classification. The trained model helps in identification of different gestures.

TL;DR: This paper studies and analyses various aggregation techniques applied in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) points out the improvements in various QOS parameters resulted due to the application of aggregation on routes, data and address in the field of MANETs.
Abstract:
Recent years have accentuated a remarkable rise in the popularity in the
field of mobile computing owing to the size reduction of the computing devices and it is also contributed
by the exceptional increase in the processing power availability of mobile laptops rendering
various computer applications to reach the ever-rising population segment. This increase in the
number of users poses more challenges in the field of networking. The various most specific constraints
that exist in the wireless mobile infrastructure-less networking environment having compact
batteries as the storehouses of power are power consumption and energy enrichment.
The application of Route Aggregation in MANET thrives to improve the energy efficiency
in MANET by aggregation of routes and therefore achieving a significant saving in the
scarce resources. The methodology takes into account a Hybrid protocol, Zone Routing Protocol
with aggregated routes and selection of a Head in the aggregation Zone. The Head now takes the
responsibility of the routes and the data delivery along the routes within the aggregation Zone. The
formation of such Heads and Aggregation Zones reduces the energy dissipated at each node while
route discovery phase as the routes are readily available at the Head. The procedure thus proves effective
in saving energy as well as bandwidth. Aggregation has so far has been able to curb the
problems caused in order to improve the scalability of the network. This paper studies and analyses
various aggregation techniques applied in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) points out the improvements
in various QOS parameters resulted due to the application of aggregation on routes, data
and address in the field of MANETs.
The results of graphs validate the proposed approach and specify improvement of energy
consumption which is the need of hour. The results also justify the novel approach by varying various
parameters like number of nodes, pause time and simulation time showing improvement in average
energy consumption for the novel RA-ZRP approach.
The random cluster head selection based routing approach also referred as route aggregation
approach is used for energy enhancement which is depicted in section above. NS2 simulated
results presented in this paper validate the proposed approach. The ZRP-RA based random
cluster selection energy enrichment approach helps in reducing the various control and routing
overheads involved in the functioning of ZRP. It also reduces the number of route requests to be
sent and thus superfluous route requests can be avoided and thus saving in bandwidth is achieved
also the reduction in the routing and control overhead reduces the probability of collisions and thus
the data is effectively forwarded to the destination. This also helps improve latency as the queuing
up of data packets is lessened owing to the less overhead.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rapid calibration method is presented, where only one coplanar reference target is used to measure the accuracy of the 3D laser scanner and 3D feature points on the light plane are extracted.
Abstract:
The 3D laser scanner is a non-contact active-sensing system, which has a
number of applications. Many patents have been filed on the technologies for calibrating 3D laser
scanner. A precise calibration method is important for measuring the accuracy of the 3D laser scanner.
The system model contains three categories of parameters to be calibrated which include the
camera intrinsic parameters, distortion coefficients and the light plane parameters. Typically, the
calibration process is completed in two steps. Based on Zhang’s method, the calibration of the camera
intrinsic parameters and distortion coefficients can be performed. Then, 3D feature points on the
light plane should precisely be formed and extracted. Finally, the points are used to calculate the
light plane parameters.
In this paper, a rapid calibration method is presented. Without any high precision auxiliary
device, only one coplanar reference target is used. By using a group of captured images of the
coplanar reference target placed in the field of view arbitrarily, calibration can be performed in one
step. Based on the constraint from the planes formed by the target in different directions and the
camera imaging model, a large amount of 3D points on the light plane can easily be obtained. The
light plane equation in the camera coordinates system can be gathered by executing plane fitting to
the 3D points.
During the experimental process, the developed 3D laser scanner was calibrated by the
proposed method. Then, the measuring accuracy of the system was verified with known distance in
vertical direction of 1mm with sequential shifting motion generated by precision translation stage.
The average value of the measured distances was found to be 1.010mm. The standard deviation was
0.008mm.
Experimental results prove that the proposed calibration method is simple and reliable.

TL;DR: The portable monitoring system of student physical condition for use in physical education of primary and middle school students proposed in this paper ensures real-time monitoring of the members within the system in an open environment, and further proposes an early warning mechanism for combining multiple vital sign parameters.
Abstract:
In recent years, sudden deaths of primary and secondary school students
caused by sports activities have drawn great attention in education and medical circles. It is
necessary for schools to monitor the physical condition of the students in order to reasonably set the
duration of their physical activity. At present, the physical condition monitoring instruments used in
various hospitals are expensive, bulky, and difficult to operate, and the detection process is complicated.
Therefore, existing approaches cannot meet the needs of physical education teachers on
campus for detecting the physical condition of students.
This study designs a portable human-physiological-state monitoring and analysis system.
Real-time communication between a wearable measurement device and a monitoring device can be
ensured by real-time detection of the environment and power control of the transmitted signal.
From a theoretical point of view, the larger the number of segments M, the more significantly
the reduction of false alarm probability. The simulation results also show this fact. Compared
with the conventional early warning mechanism, the probability of a false alarm for the proposed
system is lower, and the greater the number of segments, the faster its reaction speed.
The portable monitoring system of student physical condition for use in physical
education of primary and middle school students proposed in this paper ensures real-time monitoring
of the members within the system in an open environment, and further proposes an early warning
mechanism for combining multiple vital sign parameters. In addition, the proposed system functions
faster; the average early warning time required is only one-quarter of that of the conventional system.

TL;DR: In this paper, an active tip fin (ATF fin) was proposed to further reduce the induced drag of box-wing aircraft, and the authors used the Athena Vortex Lattice (AVL) software to simulate the simulated induced drag associated with AFT.
Abstract:
Induced drag accounts for significant percentage of cruise and total aircraft
drag. In agreement with Prandtl’s theorem, the ideal arrangement for minimum induced drag is a
closed biplane design. Past studies have implemented fixed tip fins for closed biplane design, with
the reduction of induced drag associated with fixed tip fin found to be less than optimal. A review of
patents related to the box-wing aircraft was carried out.
In an attempt to further reduce the induced drag for box wing aircraft, this study proposed
the implementation of Active Tip Fins (ATF) for aircraft design. Athena Vortex Lattice (AVL)
software was used to simulate the induced drag associated with AFT in comparison with that of a
fixed tip fin.
From the result, the ATF design shows a superior induced drag reduction.
ATF design is a novel concept that has the potential of improving box wing aircraft
performance.

TL;DR: The results show that the maximum placement error of the needle executed by the insertion mechanism is less than 0.5 mm, which meets the demands of surgical operations, and the driving scheme and the synchronous motion mechanism are innovatively designed.
Abstract:
Flexible needle insertion is one of the minimally invasive surgeries, which
takes advantage of the lateral force acted on the bevel tip to make the needle shaft bend when inserted
into the tissue. The bending makes the needle avoid the obstacles (like bones, veins, nerves,
etc.) in order to reach the target. However, the traditional flexible needle neither can change its
curvature of the path, nor can realize a precise control because of the torsional friction between the
needle and the tissue. Hence, a cannula flexible needle was proposed to overcome the drawbacks,
which consists of a cannula and a stylet. Also, there is a need of an insertion mechanism for the
cannula flexible needle in robot-assisted surgery.
The aim of this paper is to innovatively design an insertion mechanism with friction
wheels for the cannula flexible needle, which is used as an end-effector in robot-assisted surgery
system. The mechanism is supposed to realize the coordinated driving of the cannula and the stylet
in order to achieve variable curvatures of paths.
Making references of the patents and research papers on needle insertion mechanisms,
and based on the requirement of degree of freedom for the cannula flexible needle insertion, the insertion
mechanism for the cannula flexible needle is designed by using the TRIZ theory. The conflicts
matrix analysis, the invention principles and the substance-field analysis are used to innovatively
design the driving scheme and the synchronous motion mechanism.
In this paper, the concrete structure design of the insertion mechanism for
the cannula flexible needle is achieved, which is compact and simple. The friction coefficient between
the needle and the wheels, and the pretightening force between both wheels are calculated
through the data from experiments. The insertion accuracy of friction wheel mechanism is tested and
analyzed through experimentation. The results show that the maximum placement error of the needle
executed by the insertion mechanism is less than 0.5 mm, which meets the demands of surgical operations.

TL;DR: The obtained results show that the proposed model is significantly associated with all the biological findings and theories related to memories and allows humanoid and game agents to take decisions and perform planning in novel situations.
Abstract:
The cognitive models based agents proposed in the existing patents are not
able to create knowledge by themselves. They also did not have the inference mechanism to take
decisions and perform planning in novel situations.
This patent proposes a method to mimic the human memory process for decision
making.
The proposed model simulates the functionality of episodic, semantic and procedural
memory along with their interaction system. The sensory information activates the activity nodes
which is a binding of concept and the sensory values. These activated activity nodes are captured by
the episodic memory in the form of an event node. Each activity node has some participation
strength in each event depending upon its involvement among other events. Recalling of events and
frequent usage of some coactive activity nodes constitute the semantic knowledge in the form of
associations between the activity nodes. The model also learns the actions in context to the activity
nodes by using reinforcement learning. The proposed model uses an energy-based inference mechanism
for planning and decision making.
The proposed model is validated by deploying it in a virtual war game agent and analysing
the results. The obtained results show that the proposed model is significantly associated with all the
biological findings and theories related to memories.
The implementation of this model allows humanoid and game agents to take decisions
and perform planning in novel situations.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage optimization methodology based on gradient search algorithm and regression analysis was implemented for the optimization of box-wing aircrafts wing thickness to chord ratio, and an optimal τ value was reached.
Abstract:
In the interest of improving aircraft performance, studies have highlighted
the benefits of Box wing configurations over conventional cantilever aircraft configuration.
Generally, the greater an aircraft's average thickness to chord ratio (τ), the lower the structural
weight as well as volumetric capacity for fuel. On the other hand, the lower the , the greater
the drag reduction. A review of patents related to the Box-wing aircraft was carried out. While
methodologies for optimizing wing thickness of conventional aircrafts have been studied extensively,
limited research work exist on the methodology for optimizing the wing thickness to
chord ratio of the Box wing aircraft configurations.
To address this gap, in this work, a two stage optimization methodology based on gradient
search algorithm and regression analysis was implemented for the optimization of Box
wing aircrafts wing thickness to chord ratio. The first stage involved optimizing the All Up Mass
(AUM), Direct Operating Cost (DOC) and Zero Lift Drag Coefficients (CDO), with respect to the
aft and fore sweep angle for some selected τ values. At the second stage, a suitability function (γ) was optimized with respect to the aft and fore sweep angle for some selected τ values. A
comparative study was further carried out using the proposed methodology on similar size cantilever
wing aircraft.
From the result, an optimal τ value was reached. Also the τ value for the cantilever aircraft
found based on the proposed methodology was similar to the true τ value of the adopted
aircraft, thereby validating the methodology.
Based on the optimal τ value reached from this work, the Box wing aircraft are
suitable for thin airfoils.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stand-alone Multi-Input Dual-Output (MIDO) DC-DC converter based solar photovoltaic (SPV) based system is installed at a farm; surrounded with plants for water pumping with stable flow (not pulsating) along with battery energy storage (BES) for lighting.
Abstract:
Despite so many developments, most of the farmers in the rural areas are
still dependent on rainwater, rivers or water wells, for irrigation, drinking water etc. The main reason
behind such dependency is non-connectivity with the National grid and thus unavailability of
electricity. To extract the maximum power from solar photovoltaic (SPV) based system, implementation
of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is mandatory. PV power is intermittent in nature.
Variation in the irradiation level due to partial shading or mismatching phenomena leads to the development
of modular DC-DC converters.
A stand-alone Multi-Input Dual-Output (MIDO) DC-DC converter based SPV system, is
installed at a farm; surrounded with plants for water pumping with stable flow (not pulsating) along
with battery energy storage (BES) for lighting. The proposed work has two main objectives; first to
maximize the available PV power under shadowing and mismatching condition in case of series/
parallel connected PV modules and second is to improve the utilization of available PV energy
with dual loads connected to it. Implementation of proposed MIDO converter along with BES addresses
these objectives. First, MIDO controller ensures the MPPT operation of the SPV system to
extract maximum power even under partial shading condition and second, controls the power supplied
to the motor-pump system and BES. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB/ SIMULINK
environment. Real-time experimental readings under natural sun irradiance through hardware
set-up are also taken under dynamic field conditions to validate the performance.
The inherent advantage of individual MPPT of each PV source in MIDO
configuration, under varying shadow patterns due to surrounding plants and trees is added to common
DC bus and therefore provides a better impact on PV power extraction as compared to conventional
PV based water pumping system. Multi-outputs at different supply voltages is another flag of
MIDO system. Both these aspects are implemented and working successfully at 92.75% efficiency.

TL;DR: A hybrid data reduction and knowledge extraction algorithm (HDRKE) for quality prediction and decision rules extracting on the low-embeddings based on the attribution reduction and dimensionality reduce.
Abstract:
With the explosive growth of the manufacturing data, the manufacturing
enterprises paid more and more attention to dealing with the manufacturing big data. The manufacturing
big data also can be summarized as \"5Vs”, volume, variety, velocity, veracity and value. Recently,
the researchers are focused on proposing better knowledge discovery algorithms to handling
the manufacturing big data.
The high dimensional data can be reduced from two directions. The one was the dimension
reduction. It makes the data set simple and overcome the problem of curse dimensionality.
This method reduced the data set form the data width.
We proposed a hybrid data reduction and knowledge extraction algorithm (HDRKE) for
quality prediction. There are 5 steps in the algorithm: Step 1: Data preprocessing; Step 2: Dimension
reduction; Step 3: Extract SVs by SVM; Step 4: Extract rules from the subset; Step 5: Prediction
by the rules extracted in step 3.
The presented HDRKE method reduced the data scales from the data dimensions and the
data attributions. Then, the prediction method was used on the subset of reduced data. At last, the
HDRKE method was applied to a enterprise sample, the validation of the method can be validated
on the enterprise sample.
Quality prediction and control was an important procedure in manufacturing. The
HDRKE algorithm was a novel method based on the attribution reduction and dimensionality reduce.
The data set simplified from double direction made the data set easily to calculate. The
HDRKE method also proposed a new thought of decision rules extracting on the low-embeddings.
The HDRKE method also applied to a manufacturing instance and proved its validity.
