A neural network structure able to perform the operations of analogue and binary addition is proposed. The network employs Hopfield' model of a neuron with the connection elements specified on the basis of an analysis of the energy function. Simulation using NMOS neurons has shown convergence predominantly to the correct global minima.

In this paper, we describe real-time optical implementation of the Hopfield neural network model for two-dimensional associative memory by using commercial LCTV and Multifocus For real-time processing capability, we use LCTV as a memory mask and a input spatial light modulator. Inner product between input pattern and memory matrix is processed by the multifocus holographic lens. The output signal is then electrically thresholded fed back to the system input by 2-D CCD camera. From the good experimental results, the proposed system can be applied to pattern recognition and machine vision in future.

In this paper, assuming that local range information is available, a collision-free path planning algorithm for multiple mobile robots is presented by using Hopfield neural optimization network. The energy function of the network is built using the present position and the goal position of each robot as well as its local range information. The proposed algorithm has several advantages such as the effective passing around obstacles with the directional safety distance, the easy implementation of robot motion planning including its rotation, the real-time path planning capability from the totally localized computations of path for each robot, and the adaptivity on arbitrary environment since any special shape of obstacles is not assumed.

A routing algorithm using the Hopfield Neural Netork (HNN) is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm modifies the energy function for achieving the optimality of the solution and higher convergence rate. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms convensional methods both in optimality and convergence.

Input-output linearization technique in nonlinear control does not guarantee the robustness in the presence of parameter uncertainty or unmodeled dynamics, etc. However, it has been used as an important preliminary step in achieving additional control objectives, for instance, robustness to parameter uncertainty and disturbance attenuation. An indirect adaptive control scheme based on input-output linearization is proposed in this paper. The scheme consists of a Hopfield network for process parameter identification and an adaptive sliding mode controller based on input-output linearization, which steers the system response into a desired configuration. A numerical example is presented for the trajectory tracking of uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems with slowly time-varying parameters.

This study proposes a neural network for solving optimization problems such as the TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem), scheduling, and line balancing. The Hopfield network has been used for solving such problems, but it frequently gives abnormal solutions or non-optimal ones. Moreover, the Hopfield network takes much time especially in solving large size problems. To overcome such disadvantages, this study adopts nodes whose outputs changes with a fixed value at every evolution. The proposed network is applied to solving a TSP, finding the shortest path for visiting all the cities, each of which is visted only once. Here, the travelling path is reflected to the energy function of the network. The proposed network evolves to globally minimize the energy function, and a ...

This paper presents a modular structure design of analog Hopfield neural network. Each multiplier consists of four MOS transistors which are connected to an op-amp at the front end of a neuron. A pair of MOS transistor is used in order to maintain linear operation of the synapse and can produce positive or negative synaptic weight. This architecture can be expandable to any size neural network by forming tree structure. By altering the connections, other nework paradigms can also be implemented using this basic modules. The stength of this approach is the expandability and the general applicability. The layout design of a four-neuron fully connected feedback neural network is presented and is simulated using SPICE. The network shows correct retrival of distorted patterns.

A new approach using a Hopfield type neural network to solve line balancing problems for manufacturing planning is proposed. The energy function of the network to evaluate solutions is composed of three terms;(a) an operation should be processed at one and only one workstation, (b) the precedence-relationship between two operations shoud be satisfied, and (c) the cycle-time of operations should be minimized. It is shown that the network can solve the line balancing problems but not always because of the difficulty to keep the precedence-relationship. Therefore, a method to keep the precedence-relationship by software logic is proposed and it is verified that the line-balancing prblems can be solved with high probability.

The identification of radioactive source in a medium with a limited number of external detectors is introduced as an inverse radiation transport problem. This kind of inverse problem is usually ill-posed and severely under-determined, however, its applications are very useful in manu fields including medical diagnosis and nondestructive assay of nuclear materials. Therefore, it is desired to develop efficient and robust solution algorithms. As an approach to solving inverse problems, an artificial neural network is proposed. We develop a modified version of the conventional Hopfield neural network and demonstrate its efficiency and robustness.

Since resistance spot welding has become one of the most popular sheet metal fabrication processes, a strong emphasis is being put on the quality of the welds. Throughout the years many quality estimation systems have been developed by many researchers to ensure weld quality. In this study, the process variables, which were monitored in the primary circuit of the welding machine, are used to estimate the weld quality with Hopfield neural network. The primary dynamic resistance is vectorized and stored as five patterns in the network. As the welding is done, the dynamic resistance patterns are recognized and the quality is estimated with the proposed method. Due to the primary process variables, it is possible to utilize this algorithms as an in-process real time quality monitoring system.
