To the best knowledge of the authors, in former studies in the field of measuring volume fraction of gas, oil, and water components in a three-phase flow using gamma radiation technique, the existence of a scale layer has not been considered. The formed scale layer usually has a higher density in comparison to the fluid flow inside the oil pipeline, which can lead to high photon attenuation and, consequently, reduce the measuring precision of three-phase flow meter. The purpose of this study is to present an intelligent gamma radiation-based, nondestructive technique with the ability to measure volume fraction of gas, oil, and water components in the annular regime of a three-phase flow independent of the scale layer. Since, in this problem, there are several unknown parameters, such as gas, oil, and water components with different amounts and densities and scale layers with different thicknesses, it is not possible to measure the volume fraction using a conventional gamma radiation system. In this study, a system including a 241Am-133Ba dual energy source and two transmission detectors was used. The first detector was located diametrically in front of the source. For the second detector, at first, a sensitivity investigation was conducted in order to find the optimum position. The four extracted signals in both detectors (counts under photo peaks of both detectors) were used as inputs of neural network, and volume fractions of gas and oil components were utilized as the outputs. Using the proposed intelligent technique, volume fraction of each component was predicted independent of the barium sulfate scale layer, with a maximum MAE error of 3.66%.

Virtual reality is a technology that allows users to completely interact with a computer-simulated environment, and put on new clothes to check the effect without taking off their clothes. In this paper, a virtual fit evaluation of pants using the Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), VFE-ANFIS for short, is proposed. There are two stages of the VFE-ANFIS: training and evaluation. In the first stage, we trained some key pressure parameters by using the VFE-ANFIS; these key pressure parameters were collected from real try-on and virtual try-on of pants by users. In the second stage, we evaluated the fit by using the trained VFE-ANFIS, in which some key pressure parameters of pants from a new user were determined and we output the evaluation results, fit or unfit. In addition, considering the small number of input samples, we used the 10-fold cross-validation method to divide the data set into a training set and a testing set; the test accuracy of the VFE-ANFIS was 94.69% ± 2.4%, and the experimental results show that our proposed VFE-ANFIS could be applied to the virtual fit evaluation of pants.

The selection of machining parameters needs to be automated, according to its important role in machining process. This paper proposes a method for cutting parameters selection by fuzzy inference system generated using fuzzy subtractive clustering method (FSCM) and trained using an adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The desired surface roughness (Ra) was entered into the first step as a reference value for three fuzzy inference system (FIS). Each system determine the corresponding cutting parameters such as (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut). The interaction between these cutting parameters were examined using new sets of FIS models generated and trained for verification purpose. A new surface roughness value was determined using the cutting parameters resulted from the first steps and fed back to the comparison unit and was compared with the desired surface roughness and the optimal cutting parameters ( which give the minimum difference between the actual and predicted surface roughness were find out). In this way, single input multi output ANFIS architecture presented which can identify the cutting parameters accurately once the desired surface roughness is entered to the system. The test results showed that the proposed model can be used successfully for machinability data selection and surface roughness prediction as well.
