Machine performance and condition monitoring using motor operating parameters through artificial intelligence techniques

Condit ion m onitoring (CM) of gearboxes is a necessary act ivit y due to the crucial im portance of gearboxes in power t ransm ission in m ost indust rial applicat ions. There has long been pressure to im prove m easuring techniques and develop analyt ical tools for early fault detect ion in gearboxes. This thesis develops new gearbox m onitoring m ethods by dem onst rat ing that operat ing pa...

HHMM Based Recognition of Human Activity Motion Trajectories in Image Sequences

A bstract In this paper, w e present a m ethod for recognition of hu m an activity as a series of actions from an im age sequ ence. T he diffi cu lty w ith the problem is that there is a chicken-egg dilem m a that each action needs to be extracted in advance for its recognition bu t the precise extraction is only possible after the action is correctly identifi ed. In order to solve this dilem m...

Small Angle X-Ray Study on the Structure of Active and Inactive Ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase-Oxygenase from Spinach. Evidence for a Configurational Change

Small angle X -ray scattering studies on ribu lose-l,5 -b isphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (R ubisco) from spinach reveal a configurational change in its quaternary structure upon the transition of the m olecule from the activated form occurring in the presence of C 0 2 and Mg2+ to the deactivated form ob tained w hen C 0 2 and M g2+ are rem oved by extensive dialysis under n itrogen.
