The effect of measurement errors on adaptive and non-adaptive control charts has been occasionally considered by researchers throughout the years. However, that effect on the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) control charts has not so far been investigated. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSSI control charts. After a model development, the effe...

Cause of death in Plague.?Death may occur in plague either from syncope or asphyxia. In any case of plague, but especially in the pneumonic forms, there is a tendency for the respiration rate to be increased out of proportion to the pulse and temperature. I frequently noted that when the pulse and temperature rose just before death, the respiration rate rapidly fell and vice versa. I append a f...

This paper gives a short introduction into Fuzzy Set Theory, presents an overview on fuzzy controllers, and discusses possible combinations between fuzzy controllers and neural networks. Fuzzy Sets suggested by L.A. Zadeh 32] ooer a possibility to formally describe linguistic expressions like tall, fast, medium, etc., and to operate on them. Fuzzy controllers use fuzzy sets to represent linguis...

The most popular tool used in the industry for monitoring a process is the Shewhart control chart. The major disadvantage of the Shewhart control chart is that it is not very efficient in detecting small process average shifts. To increase the sensitivity of Shewhart control charts to small shifts additional supplementary runs rules has been suggested. In this paper we introduce and study the m...

Robot skills are low-level motion and/or grasping capabilities that constitute the basic building blocks from which tasks are built. Teaching and recognition of such skills can be done by Programming-by-Demonstration approach. A human operator demonstrates certain skills while his motions are recorded by a datacapturing device and modeled in our case via fuzzy clustering and Takagi-Sugeno model...

in this paper, the driver with antiwindup and fuzzy high-performance and robust pi controller has been suggested for permanent magnet synchronous motor (pmsm). this controller is suggested for the design of the robust driver for three phase pmsm and the cost reduction of its control system. it’s useful for the industrial application and automation and ultimately speed control and the improvemen...

In the previous two Chapters, we proposed fraction nonconforming nonparametric control charts to monitor process location and process variability. It is also shown that performance of proposed control charts are superior to that of the Shewhart X and sign charts. If process is running in an in-control state for a long period, it will reach in steady-state mode. In order to characterize long-ter...
