Based on radial basis function neural network (RBF NN),the paper proposed a new algorithm for strip shape recognition. Compared with back propagation (BP) algorithm and improved least squares method (LSM), RBF NN shows excellent overall performance, such as learning speed, recognition precision and anti-interference capability.

Gold immunochromatographic strip assay is a rapid, simple, single-copy and on-site method. Quantitative Interpretation of the strip can provide more information than the traditional qualitative or semiquantitative strip assay. The paper aims to develop an image based assay method for quantitative determination of trace concentrations by gold immunochromatographic strip. The image of gold immuno...

Cold rolling of steel is one of the most important metal forming processes so an accurate control of its parameters during the process is necessary. In this paper, the friction coefficient has been proposed as a function of cold rolling parameters such as forward slip, forward and backward tensile stresses ,strip thickness, static deformation, resistance of strip before and after rolling ,strip...

This paper presents a packing algorithm to solve an irregular shape strip packing problem. The polygons are packed in strip material, which limits a bin width but not limits a bin length. The objective of a packing algorithm is to minimize a bin length. This paper proposes a hybrid method of genetic algorithms and tabu search to solve a packing problem. Initially, a hybrid method behaves like r...

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN range while the placement of the inverted U-shaped strip provides a better impedance matching for the lowest resonant ...

The continuous tandem cold rolling of metal strip is a highly nonlinear multi-variable complex process the control of which presents additional challenges over those encountered in the control of stand-alone tandem cold rolling. These challenges arise during the passage of the weld, which joins the head of the next strip to the tail of the present strip to maintain the continuity of rolling. Th...

In this paper, the preparation of a potentiometric strip for pH monitoring in saliva samples is reported. The potentiometric strip consists of a solid contact pH-selective and of a solidcontact ionogel reference electrode prepared on a dual screen printed substrate. The screen printing protocols, i.e., type of inks and number of deposits, were adjusted to relatively improve the batch reproducib...

In this paper, an active vibration control of a translating tensioned steel strip in the zinc galvanizing line is investigated. The dynamics of the moving strip is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam with nonlinear tension. The control objective is to suppress the transverse vibrations of the strip via boundary control. A right boundary control law based upon the Lyapunov’s second method is deri...
