This study proposes a fabric defect classification system using a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and its hardware implementation using a Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) based system. The PNN classifier achieves an accuracy of 98 ± 2% for the test data set, whereas the FPGA based hardware system of the PNN classifier realises about 94±2% testing accuracy. The FPGA system operates as fast as 50.777 MHz, corresponding to a clock period of 19.694 ns.

At present, study on the non-asbestos gasket materials is the hotspot research in static sealing field. The non-asbestos sealing gaskets research and development has made great strides into the practical phase. Formula is an important factor of material, which determines performance of material. In order to obtain well performance, it is needed to optimization formula to get optimal formula that not only improve performance of non-asbestos gasket, but also reduce development time accordingly reduce cost of non-asbestos gasket. Classification of raw materials can be transformed into a mathematical clustering problem. It means that according to some algorithm, there will be some sort of input values of similar links together. Many neural networks were widely used in the classification of different materials. A method of classification by using neural network to the known 15 kinds of the non-asbestos gaskets of formula data was proposed in this paper. By using the PNN (probabilistic neural network), LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) neural network and SOM (Self-Organizing Feature Map) neural network respectively to classify the non-asbestos gaskets to find a suitable method in the classification of non-asbestos gaskets formula. The results indicated that PNN neural network and LVQ neural network method based on the data that provided in the paper both can effectively classify, while SOM neural network can not classify them ideally, thus it provides a new theoretical basis for the classification of the non-asbestos gaskets.

The quality of electrical insulation of any power apparatus is an indispensable requirement for its successful and reliable operation. Partial Discharge (PD) phenomenon serves as an effective Non Destructive Testing (NDT) technique and provides an index on the quality of the insulation. The innovative trend of using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) towards the classification of PD patterns is cogent and discernible. In this paper a novel method for the classification of the PD patterns using the original Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) as well as its variation is elucidated. A preprocessing scheme that extracts pertinent features of PD from the raw data towards achieving a compact ANN has been employed. The classification of single-type insulation defects such as voids, surface discharges and corona has been taken up. The first part of the paper gives a brief on PD, various diagnostic techniques and interpretation. The second part deals with the theoretical concepts of PNN and its adaptive version. The last part provides details on various results and comparisons of the PNN and its adaptive version in PD pattern classification.
