  • The main criteria used in NEI 18-04 to define SSCs as risk-significant include (1) the SSC is required to keep all LBEs within the F-C target, and (2) the total frequency with the SSC failed exceeds 1% of the limit for at least one of the three cumulative risk metrics used for evaluating the integrated plant risk. The first one is a reasonable criterion in determining the risk significant SSCs. However, the second criterion may not be adequate to serve the purpose of determining the risk significance of SSCs. In the second criterion, the cumulative risk metric values representing the integrated plant risk (less the preventive and mitigative effects of the SSC being evaluated) are compared to a risk limit that represents a very small contribution to the overall integrated plant risk, which corresponds appropriately to the contributions from individual SSCs. The easiest approach to redefine the NEI 18-04 definition of risk-significant SSCs in relation to the integrated plant risk metrics is to compare the difference, between the risk metric value calculated with the SSC failed and the risk metric value calculated with the SSC credited, with 1% of the risk limit established for the integrated plant risk metrics.

  • Error Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) can improve generalization performance when applied to multicategory classification problem. In this study we propose a new criterion to select hyperparameters included in ECOC scheme. Instead of margins of a data we propose to use the probability of misclassification error since it makes the criterion simple. Using this we obtain an upper bound of leave-one-out error of OVA(one vs all) method. Our experiments from real and synthetic data indicate that the bound leads to good estimates of parameters.

  • We propose a new algorithm to obtain the output feedback controller, which contains one dynamic element, for power system generators. The performance criterion of this controller is the integral of quadratic form of output differences between reference model and controlled system. with this criterion, we can easily compute the output feedback gains using Astrom's algorithm for the integral calculation of quadratic form.

Simulations on a one machine infinite bus system shows the effectiveness of this approach.

  • This paper proposes the track layout criterion for the LRT(light rail transit). All criterions established concerning dimension and performance of LRT vehicles that are three types. Types of vehices are AGT(automated guided train) steel wheel. AGT rubber tire and LIM(linear induction motor). Using theoritical approach, adaptation and validity of criterions are verified. Proposed criterions may provide a standard scheme for design and construction of the infrastructure on LRT.

  • This paper addresses for the first time the use of complete data information criteria in unsupervised learning of the Naive-Bayes model. A Monte Carlo study sets a large experimental design to assess these criteria, unusual in the Bayesian network literature. The simulation results show that complete data information criteria underperforms the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for these Bayesian networks.

  • Based on oriented minimum output energy (OMOE) criterion, a new blind multiuser receiving scheme of linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector is proposed, then an adaptive algorithm for implementing the new scheme is given by the steepest descent method, and the convergence property of the algorithm is analyzed in this paper. The numerical results demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

  • This paper discusses the self-adaptive equalization technique which has adaptibility to channel characteristics varation without training sequence. The criterion function used in this paper is based on the concept of cumulant matching. This function can be applied to nonminimum phase channel, and we can verify the fact that if the constrained condition is satisfied. this criterion has no local optimum. As the adaption algorithm, the normalized gradient-searching technique is used. Simulations verify the performance of our method in case of 8PAM, 8PSK(CCITT V.27), 16QAM(CCITT V.29) sources and three type nonminimum phase channels.

  • This paper proposes a robust control method using Universal Learning Network(U.L.N.) and second order derivatives of U.L.N.. Robust control considered here is defined as follows. Even if external input (equal to reference input in this paper) to the system at control stage changes awfully from that at learning stage, the system can be controlled so as to maintain a good performance. In order to realize such a robust control, a new term concerning the perturbation is added to a usual criterion function. And parameter variables are adjusted so as to minimize the above mentioned criterion function using the second order derivative of the criterion function with respect to the parameters.

  • The characteristics of unsteady combustion were experimentally investigated using confined premixed flames stabilized by a rearward-facing step. The unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillations and it has usually desirable performance such as high load combustion and low pollutant emission. It is known that combustion oscillation is occurred if Rayleigh's criterion is satisfied. The pressure fluctuation and OH-emission fluctuation were measured using pressure transducer and OH optical fiber respectively and then cross-corelation and phase difference were calculated to apply Rayleigh's criterion.
