A simple neuro-controlle r for a synchronous generator is presented in this paper. The controller performs the function of the terminal voltage control. By representing the proposed neuro-controller in s-domain, its parameters to ensure system stability can be obtained analytically. Results of simulation studies on a non-linear seventh order generator model with the neuro-controller using calcu...

Maintenance plays now a critical role in manufacturing for achieving important cost savings and competitive advantage while preserving product conditions. It suggests moving from conventional maintenance practices to predictive strategy. Indeed the maintenance action has to be done at the right time based on the system performance and component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessed by a prognost...

Electrical conductivity is an important indicator for water quality assessment. Since the composition of mineral salts affects the electrical conductivity of groundwater, it is important to understand the relationships between mineral salt composition and electrical conductivity. In this present paper, we develop an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for groundwater electrical ...

Accurate and robust estimation of applied forces in Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery is a very challenging task. Many vision-based solutions attempt to estimate the force by measuring the surface deformation after contacting the surgical tool. However, visual uncertainty, due to tool occlusion, is a major concern and can highly affect the results’ precision. In this paper, a novel de...

Problem statement: In this study, we present the development of genetic algorithm based neuro fuzzy technique for process grain sized in scheduling of parallel jobs with the help of real lIfe workload data. Approach: The study uses the rule based scheduling strategy for the scheduling and classIfies all possible scheduling strategies. The rule bases are developed with the help of the neuro fuzz...

Alzheimer, a chronic neurodegenerative disease, usually starts slowly and worsens gradually. It causes 60% to 70% of dementia cases. Difficulty in remembering recent events (short-term memory loss) is the most prominent early symptom. As the disease progresses, patients may have problems such as impaired language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, ...
