Measurement Data Processing with the Use of Art Networks

Abstract ART (Adaptive Resonance Theory) networks were invented in the 1990s as a new approach to the problem of image classification and recognition. ART networks belong to the group of resonance networks, which are trained without supervision. The paper presents the basic principles for creating and training ART networks, including the possibility of using this type of network for solving problems of predicting and processing measurement data, especially data obtained from geodesic monitoring. In the first stage of the process of creating a prediction model, a preliminary analysis of measurement data was carried out. It was aimed at detecting outliers because of their strong impact on the quality of the final model. Next, an ART network was used to predict the values of the vertical displacements of points of measurement and control networks stabilized on the inner and outer walls of an engineering object.

Measurement And Control

The growing popularity of inexpensive IoT (Internet of Things) sensor networks makes their uncertainty an important aspect of their adoption. The uncertainty determines their fitness for purpose, their perceived quality and the usefulness of information they provide. Nevertheless, neither the theory nor the industrial practice of uncertainty offer a coherent answer on how to address uncertainty of networks of this type and their components. The primary objective of this paper is to facilitate the discussion of what progress should be made regarding the theory and the practice of uncertainty of IoT sensor networks to satisfy current needs. This paper provides a structured overview of uncertainty, specifically focusing on IoT sensor networks. It positions IoT sensor networks as contrasted with professional measurement and control networks and presents their conceptual sociotechnical reference model. The reference model advises on the taxonomy of uncertainty proposed in this paper that demonstrates semantic differences between various views on uncertainty. This model also allows for identifying key challenges that should be addressed to improve the theory and practice of uncertainty in IoT sensor networks.

Grinding System

The technological process of materials grinding, especially biological material with high oil content, is quite complex. There are several parameters that impact the performance and quality of the process (e.g. temperature, rotational speed). One of them is the air velocity at pneumatic conveying of grinding particles. The phenomena of pneumatic transport of seeds and its impact on product’s quality and grinding capacity is not methodologically recognized so far. The paper presents the construction details of measurement and control system and results of the research obtained during the laboratory tests. The results of the tests and their analysis will be used for design of a commercial precise grinder, which allowed to reach the optimum product’s capacity and quality, constituting the basis for biological diet supplements.

Measurement And Control

The measurement and control system is designed to control the measuring instrument which measures the geometric parameters of rail fastening spring clips. The structure and work principle of the measurement and control system are presented. Nine geometric parameters of a rail fastening spring clip which is installed only one time can be measured atomically. The limited errors of measured parameters are largely smaller than one tenth of the geometric parameter tolerance. It only spends 40 seconds to measure a rail fastening spring clip. It improves the quality of the rail fastening spring clip production and ensures that it is safe and reliably used in railway.

Measurement And Control

The tensile forces acting on the cable of long-span bridges are one of the most important factors since they reflect not only the structural stability of cables but also the overall quality of construction. Currently, indirect measurement using accelerometers attached to the surface of the cable is widely used to measure the natural frequency of cable. The frequency obtained from the accelerometer is converted to the tensile force of the cable. However, it sometimes requires many hazardous labors such as attaching the device on the surface of cable and wiring it with data logger, which could hinder the safety of workers during the erection of cables. In this study, a method using laser vibrometer is introduced to measure the tensile forces on cables at a distance. In addition, this study developed a unique postanalysis computer program that can calculate the tensile forces in real time. Compared with the values obtained from the accelerometers, the laser vibrometer system provided accurate and reliable matching.

Background and aim: Thermal related problems with prostheses are common complaints of amputee people. This article aims to introduce a thermoregulatory technique as a potential solution for those problems in prostheses wearers. Technique: A smart thermoregulatory system was designed, manufactured, and installed on a phantom model of a prosthetic socket. It captured temperature data from 16 sensors positioned at the interface between the phantom model and a silicone liner and used their average for comparison with a defined set temperature to select required heating or cooling functions for thermal equilibrium. A thin layer of Aluminum was used to transfer temperature between thermal pump and different sites around the phantom model. Discussion: The feasibility of this thermoregulatory technique was confirmed by its ability to provide thermal equilibrium. Further investigations to improve the design of thermoregulatory system are necessary including temperature transfer element and power consumption based on thermal capacity and thermal inertia of the residual limb. Clinical relevance The smart thermoregulatory system by providing thermal equilibrium between two sides of a prosthetic silicone liner can control residual limb skin temperature and sweating. Consequently, it can improve quality of life in amputee people.
