The existence of conversion industries to sort and grade hazelnuts with modern technology plays a vital role in export. Since most of the hazelnuts produced in Iran are exported to domestic and foreign markets without sorting and grading, it is necessary to have a well-functioning smart system to create added value, reduce waste, increase shelf life, and provide a better product delivery. In this study, a method is introduced to sort and grade hazelnuts by integrating audio signal processing and artificial neural network techniques. A system was designed and developed in which the produced sound, due to the collision of the hazelnut with a steel disk, was taken by the microphone placed under the steel disk and transferred to a PC via a sound card. Then, it was stored and processed by a program written in MATLAB software. A piezoelectric sensor and a circuit were used to eliminate additional ambient noise. The time-domain and wavelet domain features of the data were extracted using MATLAB software and were analyzed using Artificial Neural Network Toolbox. Seventy percent of the extracted data signals were used for training, 15% for validation, and the rest of the data was used to test the artificial neural network (Multilayer Perceptron network with Levenberg-Marquardt Learning algorithm). The model optimization and the number of neurons in the hidden layer were conducted based on mean square error (MSE) and prediction accuracy (PA). A total of 2400 hazelnuts were used to evaluate the system. The optimal neural network structure for sorting and grading hazelnuts was 4-21-3 (four neurons in input layers, 21 neurons in the hidden layer, and three outputs which are the desired classification). This neural network (NN) was used to classify hazelnut as big, small, hollow, or damaged. Results showed 96.1%, 89.3%, and 93.1% accuracy for big/small, hollow, or damaged hazelnuts were obtained, respectively.

Abstract This paper presents a design of a low-cost integrated system for the preventive detection of unbalance faults in an induction motor. In this regard, two non-invasive measurements have been collected then monitored in real time and transmitted via an ESP32 board. A new bio-flexible piezoelectric sensor developed previously in our laboratory, was used for vibration analysis. Moreover an infrared thermopile was used for non-contact temperature measurement. The data is transmitted via Wi-Fi to a monitoring station that intervenes to detect an anomaly. The diagnosis of the motor condition is realized using an artificial neural network algorithm implemented on the microcontroller. Besides, a Kalman filter is employed to predict the vibrations while eliminating the noise. The combination of vibration analysis, thermal signature analysis and artificial neural network provides a better diagnosis. It ensures efficiency, accuracy, easy access to data and remote control, which significantly reduces human intervention.

This study aims to explore the effect of kurtosis level of the data in the output layer on the accuracy of artificial neural network predictive models. The artificial neural network predictive models are comprised of one node in the output layer and six nodes in the input layer. The number of hidden layer is automatically built by the program. Data are generated using simulation approach. The results show that the kurtosis level of the node in the output layer is significantly affect the accuracy of the artificial neural network predictive model. Platycurtic and leptocurtic data has significantly higher misclassification rates than mesocurtic data. However, the misclassification rates between platycurtic and leptocurtic is not significantly different. Thus, data distribution with kurtosis nearly to zero results in a better ANN predictive model.

In this study, three artificial neural network (ANN) models are developed with back propagation (BP) optimization algorithms to predict various lightning damage modes in carbon/epoxy laminates. The proposed ANN models use three input variables associated with lightning waveform parameters (i.e., the peak current amplitude, rising time, and decaying time) to predict fiber damage, matrix damage, and through-thickness damage in the composites. The data used for training and testing the networks was actual lightning damage data collected from peer-reviewed published literature. Various BP training algorithms and network architecture configurations (i.e., data splitting, the number of neurons in a hidden layer, and the number of hidden layers) have been tested to improve the performance of the neural networks. Among the various BP algorithms considered, the Bayesian regularization back propagation (BRBP) showed the overall best performance in lightning damage prediction. When using the BRBP algorithm, as expected, the greater the fraction of the collected data that is allocated to the training dataset, the better the network is trained. In addition, the optimal ANN architecture was found to have a single hidden layer with 20 neurons. The ANN models proposed in this work may prove useful in preliminary assessments of lightning damage and reduce the number of expensive experimental lightning tests.

The analysis of the PPG signal in the time domain for the evaluation of the blood pressure (BP) is proposed. Some features extracted from the PPG signal are used to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to determine the function that fit the target systolic and diastolic BP. The data related to the PPG signals and BP used in the analysis are provided by the Multi-parameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC II) database. The pre-analysis of the signal to remove inconsistent data is also proposed. A set of 1750 valid pulse is considered. The 80% of the input samples is used for the training of the network. Instead, the 10% of the input data are used for the validation of the network and 10% for final test of this last. The results show as the error for both the systolic and diastolic BP evaluation is included in the range of ±3 mmHg. Tab.1 shows the results for 20 PPG pulses randomly selected analyzed together with the systolic and diastolic blood pressure furnished by MIMC and evaluated by the trained ANN. Tab.1 experimental results comparing MIMIC and the ANN results. Moreover, a suitable hardware to validate the ANN with the sphygmomanometer is designed and realized. This hardware allows clinicians to collect data according to the requirements of the validation procedure. With the sphygmomanometer the systolic and diastolic values are referred to two different PPG pulses. As a consequence, it is proposed a new hardware interface allowing the synchronized acquisition and storage of the PPG signal and clinician voice. For the validation, the clinician: (i) evaluates the BP on both the arms and assesses that no significant differences occur; (ii) plugs the PPG sensor on the finger of one arm; (iii) starts the recording of both the PPG signal and the audio signal; (iv) evaluates the BP on the other arm with sphygmomanometer and says the systolic and diastolic values when detected. Through suitable post processing algorithm, the Systolic and Diastolic values are associated to the corresponding PPG Pulses. Following this procedure, the dataset to further validate the ANN according the standard is obtained. Once the ANN is validated it will be implemented on smartphone to have always in the pocket a reliable measurement system for Blood Pressure, oximetry and heart rate.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) has been the leading cause of death worldwide over the past 10 years. Researchers have been using several data mining techniques to help healthcare professionals diagnose heart disease. The neural network (NN) can provide an excellent solution to identify and classify different diseases. The artificial neural network (ANN) methods play an essential role in recognizes diseases in the CAD. The authors proposed multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) among one hidden layer neuron (MLP) and four hidden layers neurons (P-MLP)-based highly accurate artificial neural network (ANN) method for the classification of the CAD dataset. Therefore, the ten-fold cross-validation (T-FCV) method, P-MLP algorithms, and base classifiers of MLP were employed. The P-MLP algorithm yielded very high accuracy (86.47% in CAD-56 and 98.35% in CAD-59 datasets) and F1-Score (90.36% in CAD-56 and 98.83% in CAD-59 datasets) rates, which have not been reported simultaneously in the MLP.

The IEEE 802.16 system offers power-saving class type II as a power-saving algorithm for real-time services such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service. However, it doesn't take into account the silent periods of VoIP conversation. This chapter proposes a power conservation algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN-VPSM) that can be applied to VoIP service over WiMAX systems. Artificial intelligent model using feed forward neural network with a single hidden layer has been developed to predict the mutual silent period that used to determine the sleep period for power saving class mode in IEEE 802.16. From the implication of the findings, ANN-VPSM reduces the power consumption during VoIP calls with respect to the quality of services (QoS). Experimental results depict the significant advantages of ANN-VPSM in terms of power saving and quality-of-service (QoS). It shows the power consumed in the mobile station can be reduced up to 3.7% with respect to VoIP quality.

An electronic sensor array with 12 nonspecific metal oxide sensors was evaluated for its ability to monitor volatile compounds in super broth alone and in super broth inoculated with Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) at 37°C for 2 to 12 h. Using discriminant function analysis, it was possible to differentiate super broth alone from that containing E. coli when cell numbers were 105 CFU or more. There was a good agreement between the volatile profiles from the electronic sensor array and a gas chromatography–mass spectrometer method. The potential to predict the number of E. coli and the concentration of specific metabolic compounds was investigated using an artificial neural network (ANN). The artificial neural network was composed of an input layer, one hidden layer, and an output layer, with a hyperbolic tangent sigmoidal transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer. Good prediction was found as measured by a regression coefficient (R2 = 0.999) between actual and predicted data.
