  • The Non-homogeneous Poisson process is probably the most popular model since it can model systems that are deteriorating or improving. The renewal process is a model that is often used to describe the random occurrence of events in time. But both these models are based on too restrictive assumptions on the effect of the repair action. The Modulated Power Law Process is a suitable model for describing the failure pattern of repairable systems when both renewal-type behavior and time trend are present. In this paper we propose maximum likelihood estimation of the next failure time after the system has experienced some failures, that is, Mean Time Between Failure for the MPLP model.

  • Actuator (chopper) and sensors failures resulting from electric shock and mechanical vibration generating by rail irregularities are the serious problem deteriorating the performance in the electromagnetic suspension systems. Thus, this paper proposes the reliable output feedback controller for the electromagnetic levitation systems against actuator, air-gap sensor and acceleration sensor failures. The designed controller is an extend version of a novel design technique which has the design method of the output feedback controller using dynamic compensator. The benefits of this scheme are demonstrated through the experimental results for the proposed controller against chopper, air-gap sensor and acceleration sensor failures of electromagnetic levitation system.

  • Distubance of air-gap sensors by rail irregularities are the serious problem deteriorating the performance in the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) systems. Thus, this paper proposes the output feedback controller with discrete kalman filter for the EMS systems. The discrete kalman filter estimate true state value and output feedback controller guarantee stability. The benefit of this scheme are shown by simulation. Therefore air-gap disturbance are rejected successfully.

  • Due to the rapid development of science technology and the main characteristics of the defense industry, such as long development period, design complexity, high possibility of discontinuing parts due to long life cycle, and small quantity production, it can cause increasing of the inflow possibility of counterfeit electronic parts and deteriorating the reliability of weapons systems. This paper presents the specific criteria for the identification of electronic parts to be verified for mass produced weapons systems after the development is completed, and the identification and verification methods for the inflow of counterfeit electronic components.

  • In this paper we present two refined neighbor selection algorithms for recommender systems and also show how the attributes of the items can be used for higher prediction quality. The refined neighbor selection algorithms adopt the transitivity-based neighbor selection method using virtual neighbors and alternate neighbors, respectively. The experimental results show that the recommender systems with the proposed algorithms outperform other systems and they can overcome the large scale dataset problem as well as the first rater problem without deteriorating prediction quality.

  • Nowadays, the utilization of renewable energy sources like wind energy is considered one of the most effective means of generating massive amounts of electricity. This is evident in the rapid increase of wind farms all over the world which comprise a huge number of wind turbines. However, the drawback of utilizing wind turbines is that it requires maintenance, which could be a costly operation. To keep the wind turbines in pristine condition so as to reduce downtime, the implementation of CMS (Condition Monitoring System) and FDS (Fault Detection System) is mandatory. The efficiency and accuracy of these systems are crucial in deciding when to carry out a maintenance process. In this paper, a fault detection system based on intelligent clustering method is proposed. Using SCADA data, the clustering model was trained and evaluated for its accuracy through rigorous simulations. Results show that the proposed approach is able to accurately detect the deteriorating condition of a wind turbine as it nears a downtime period.

  • This paper provides a frame-layer method for controlling bit rate of compressed video data in real time. Our approach is easy to operate and can store encoded video data in real time without deteriorating the quality of an image. To provide ameliorated and consistent visual quality, a new concept named SOP (Set Of Pictures) and a new quantization parameter variation control algorithm based on a second-order rate-distortion model 〔2〕 are introduced. The total bit-budget is allocated efficiently to cope with unpredictable recording time by using the proposed algorithm and it is distributed to each frame. In the end, we show improved and consistent video quality with experimental results obtained from C-model of a MPEG-4 (simple-profile) encoder.

  • As using of network increases rapidly, performance of system has been deteriorating because of the overhead and bottleneck. Nowadays, High speed I/O network standard, that is a sort of PCI Express, HyperTransport, InfiniBand, and so on, has come out to improve the limites of traditional I/O bus. The InfiniBand Architecture(IBA) provides some protocols to service the applications such as SDP, SRP and IPoIB. In our paper, We explain the architecture of IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand) and its features in channel based I/O network. And so we provide a performance evaluation result of IPoIB which is compared with current network protocol. Our experimental results also show that IPoIB is batter than TCP/IP protocol. For this test, We use the dual processor server systems and Linux Redhat 9.0 operating system.
