Objective: The computer image processing and neural network technology are applied to diagnose the thermal energy of boiler plants, i. e., the flame combustion diagnosis, to verify their effectiveness and superiority. Methods: First, the YD-NQ type endoscopic high temperature video acquisition system is used to collect the images of flame combustion. Second, the images are pre-processed by the gray-scale method and the median filtering method. Then the flame combustion parameter features are extracted. The neural network algorithm is improved, and the boiler combustion model based on the improved neural network algorithm is established. Therefore, the combustion decision base is obtained. Finally, the improved neural network model is compared with the traditional neural network model and the 5-4 model to verify its validity. Results: The experiments have found that the improved neural network model is superior to the traditional neural network model. Meanwhile, its accuracy rate and confidence are relatively higher than those of the traditional model. In addition, a single sample also consumes shorter running time, which is 0.0075 seconds. Comparing with the 5-4 model, the improved neural network model has certain advantages, i. e., its accuracy rate and confidence are relatively higher, which are, respectively 91.28% and 96.69%, however, a single sample consumes longer running time than the 5-4 model. Conclusion: The experimental research has found that the application of computer image processing and neural network technology to the thermal energy diagnosis of boiler plants can effectively determine the stability of flame combustion, timely understand the state of flame combustion, and thus diagnose the thermal energy. Therefore, they have values for applications.

The article describes an application of a simulated neural network to drill wear classification from cutting force signals generated by the drilling process. As the input to the neural network, a multicomponent vector composed of a sensory part and a descriptive part is used. The components of the sensory part represent characteristic features of the cutting momentum and the feed force power spectra, while the descriptive part encodes the corresponding drill wear class. During adaptation, the self-organizing neural network is used to form a set of prototype vectors representing an empirical model of the observed drilling process. The model is used in the analysis mode of the system for an on-line classification of the drill wear from the cutting forces. The performance of the developed information processing system is experimentally demonstrated by classification of drill wear during machining on a steel workpiece.

In recent developments, the ASU HB5 has been modified so that the timing, positioning, and scanning of the finely focused electron probe can be entirely controlled by a host computer. This made the asynchronized handshake possible between the HB5 STEM and the image processing system which consists of host computer (PDP 11/34), DeAnza image processor (IP 5000) which is interfaced with a low-light level TV camera, array processor (AP 400) and various peripheral devices. This greatly facilitates the pattern recognition technique initiated by Monosmith and Cowley. Software called NANHB5 is under development which, instead of employing a set of photo-diodes to detect strong spots on a TV screen, uses various software techniques including on-line fast Fourier transform (FFT) to recognize patterns of greater complexity, taking advantage of the sophistication of our image processing system and the flexibility of computer software.

In gas metal arc (GMA) welding processes, the geometrical shape and size of the weld pool are utilized to assess the integrity of the weld quality. Monitoring of these geometrical parameters for on-line process control as well as for on-line quality evaluation, however, is an extremely difficult problem. The paper describes the design of a neural network estimator to estimate weld pool sizes for on-line use in quality monitoring and control. The neural network estimator is designed to estimate the weld pool sizes from surface temperatures measured at various points on the top surface of the weldment. The main task of the neural network is to realize the mapping characteristics from the point temperatures to the weld pool sizes through training. The chosen design parameters of the neural network estimator, such as the number of hidden layers and the number of nodes in a layer, are based on an estimation error analysis. A series of bead-on-plate welding experiments were performed to assess the performance of the neural network estimator. The experimental results show that the proposed neural network estimator can estimate the weld pool sizes with satisfactory accuracy.

To deal with the defects of the steepest descent in slowly converging and easily immerging in partialm in imum,this paper proposes a new type of PID control system based on the BP neural network, which is a combination of the neural network and the PID strategy. It has the merits of both neural network and PID controller. Moreover, Fletcher-Reeves conjugate gradient in controller can make the training of network faster and can eliminate the disadvantages of steepest descent in BP algorithm. The parameters of the neural network PID controller are modified on line by the improved conjugate gradient. The programming steps under MATLAB are finally described. Simulation result shows that the controller is effective.

We present an application of artificial neural networks to the problem of controlling the speed of an elastic drive system. We derive a neural network structure to simulate the inverse dynamics of the system, then implement the direct inverse control scheme in a closed loop. The neural network learning is done on-line to adaptively control the speed to follow a stepwise changing reference. The experimental results with a two-mass-model analog board confirm the effectiveness of the proposed neurocontrol scheme.
