Many of the domestic PC manufactures and professional PC repair shops are suffering from lack of efficient diagnostic database systems or CAD tools for diagnosis and repair of PCs. In order to solve this problem, a new diagnostic database system for PC maintenance and repair is presented in this paper. We can perform accurate and rapid diagnosis for the PCs with software and hardware troubles by using proposed database system and thus the number of customers who are satisfied with service results are to be increased. Furthermore our research outputs make it possible the experts in PC repair field accumulate maintenance techniques and enhance the reliability of performance evaluated by customers.

We develop a diagnostic system to monitor failures in an engine-assembly line. Existing techniques such as sensory analysis, time domain analysis, frequency analysis, and statistical analysis have limitations in the diagnosis of engine-assembly failure when there are abnormal vibration waveforms (crashing and damping signals) during the assembly. We use a wavelet technique to deal with crashing and damping signals. We also implement a new technique for developing diagnostic rules from sensor data, and we demonstrate its validity.

Canine coronavirus is a single-stranded RNA virus that causes enteritis in dogs of any age. Coronaviral enteritis is seldom definitively diagnosed, since it is usually much less severe than many other types of enteritis and is self-limiting. Conventional diagnostics for the canine coronaviral enteritis such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), virus isolation, and electron microscopic examination are inappropriate for small animal clinics due to the complicated experimental processes involved. Therefore, a commercially available lateral flow test kit based on chromatographic immunoassay techniques was tested to evaluate its performance as a first-line diagnostic test kit that could be used in clinics. The coronavirus antigen test kit detected canine coronavirus-infected dogs with 93.1% sensitivity and 97.5% specificity. The detection limit of the test kit was between $1.97{\times}10^4/mL$ and $9.85{\times}10^3/mL$ for samples with a 2-fold serial dilution from $1.25{\times}10^6\;TCID_{50}$ ($TCID_{50}$, 50% tissue culture infectious dose). Additionally, the test kit had no cross-reactivity with canine parvovirus, distemper virus, or Escherichia coli. Overall, the commercially available test kit showed good diagnostic performance in a clinical setting, with results similar to those from PCR, confirming their potential for convenient and accurate use in small animal clinics.

We discovered the fact that the most important factor for judging adults' internet addiction in the K-scale method which was developed by Korea National Information Society Agency (NIA), has composed of 4 categories including 20 items, is tolerance and preoccupation factor from the experiments by using data mining techniques. In this research, we propose a new internet addiction diagnostic method based on the degree of tolerance considering users' non-duty internet activities. From some questionnaire participants, their feedbacks for the K-scale and the proposed diagnostic method were collected, and then we confirmed that the proposed user-centered diagnostic method is effective to find undiscovered addicts due to individuals's intention in the K-scale.

Historically, the screening of patients for signs of oral cancer and precancerous lesions has relied upon the conventional oral examination. A variety of commercial diagnostic aids and adjunctive techniques are developed to potentially assist in the screening of healthy patients for evidence of occult cancerous change. This paper is reviewing the literature associated with current oral cancer screening aids such as spectroscopy, chemoiluminescence, exfoliative cytopathology, vital staining and saliva as a diagnostic tool. Despite the increased public awareness of oral cancer, no technique or technology to date has provided definitive evidence to suggest that it improves the sensitivity or specificity of oral cancer screening beyond clinical oral examination alone.

This study systematically reviewed the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the assessment of molecular prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer, focusing on the correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with hormone receptor status and prognostic biomarkers. Our meta-analysis includes data from 52 studies examining ADC values in relation to estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and Ki-67 status. The results indicated significant differences in ADC values among different receptor statuses, with ER-positive, PgR-positive, HER2-negative, and Ki-67-positive tumors having lower ADC values compared to their negative counterparts. This study also highlights the potential of advanced DWI techniques such as intravoxel incoherent motion and non-Gaussian DWI to provide additional insights beyond ADC. Despite these promising findings, the high heterogeneity among the studies underscores the need for standardized DWI protocols to improve their clinical utility in breast cancer management.

Most of the failures of rotating machine are stator coil insulation failures. The insulation diagnostic testing for high voltage motors and generators are only megger test and P. I Test which is applied DC voltage until now. But it was impossible to judge insulation deterioration status of high voltage rotating machinery by above testing. In other words, even though the megger measurement values are fairly high, they used to be failed from time to time. Therefore in order to excute reliable and detailed diagnosis of insulation deterioration for rotating machinery, the tangent delta test, the alternating current test and the partial discharge test shall be applied to the insulation diagnostic testing on site.

There are lots of problem which are delaminations and partial discharge of insulation materials in high-voltage rotating machines caused by mechanical, electrical and thermal aging. Several experiments have been aiming at finding the useful diagnostic parameters from the partial discharge characteristics by applying a new measurement techniques. This paper deals with the partial discharge characteristics (pulse height, pulse angle, pulse frequency spectrum and time interval), which may be a useful diagnostic concept in predicting insulation condition of mica/epoxy composite insulation materials, by using several measurement equipments (frequency spectrum analyzer. multichannel analyzer and time interval analyzer).

The integrity of the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is vital to the safety of an entire power grid. However, there are some limitations on the techniques of detecting and diagnosing partial discharge (PD) induced by insulation defects in GIS. This paper proposes a joint electro-chemical detection method to resolve the problems of incomplete PD data source and also investigates a new unique fault diagnosis method to enhance the reliability of data processing. By employing ultra-high frequency method for online monitoring and the chemical method for detecting SF6 decomposition offline, the acquired data can form a more complete interpretation of PD signals. By utilizing DS evidence theory, the diagnostic results with tests on the four typical defects show the validity of the new fault diagnosis system. With higher accuracy and lower computation cost, the present research provides a promising way to make a more accurate decision in practical application.

As the number, complexity and interaction of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic (E/E/PE) systems increase, a growing emphasis has been placed on the concept of functional safety during product development. IEC 61508 provides guidelines and standardized procedures in the development of reliable and dependable E/E/PE systems to assure functional safety. Determining risk classes (i.e., safety integrity levels, SILs) associated to a specific E/E/PE item may be recognized as one of the most crucial activities in the product development per IEC 61508 since SILs are used to specify necessary safety requirements for achieving an acceptable residual risk. This article presents a case study on the assessment of SILs applying failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) from which failure rates may be derived for each important failure category by combining a standard FMEA with online diagnostic techniques.
