We propose a new optical Local Area Network (LAN) that exhibits high total capacity and enables the connection of a great number of nodes. It is based on the combined advantages of coherent techniques and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM). The network topology is a passive star with a shared local oscillator that allows simple emission and detection schemes.

Fault diagnosis methods based on process history data have been studied widely in recent years, and several successful industrial applications have been reported. In this paper a comparison of four monitoring methods, PCA, PLS, subspace identification and self-organising maps, for fault detection of the online analysers in a dearomatisation process is presented. The effectiveness of different s...

In this paper, we investigate software fault detection and fault correction processes based on infinite server queuing model which incorporate testing effort functions. Some researches proposed in the literature to study fault detection and fault correction processes. However, most of them do not consider the amount of resources consumed during fault detection and fault correction processes. Th...

This paper presents a proactive maintenance scheme for fault detection, diagnosis and prediction in electrical valves. The proposed scheme is validated with a case study, considering a specific valve used for controlling the oil flow in a distribution network. The scheme is based in self-organizing maps, which perform fault detection and diagnosis, and temporal self-organizing maps for fault pr...

Numerous studies suggest that dysfunctional basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuits are involved in both movement disorders and psychiatric impairments. The current exploratory investigation explored possible psychological differences, firstly between 24 healthy musicians (HM) and 24 musicians diagnosed with focal dystonia (FDM) (Study I), and secondly among 35 FDM patients only (Study II). Res...

in this paper, design and application of a new digital protective relay based on fuzzy logicand value estimation to a radial power system protection was presented. a novel approach based onvalue estimation was investigated for the proposed fuzzy logic based protective relay. in addition to thetheoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, mathematical definition of value estimation, detection andmeasuremen...

in this paper, in order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the cost and to prevent the failures of wind turbines, which lead to an extensive break down, a robust fault diagnosis system is proposed for v47/660kw wind turbine operated in manjil wind farm, gilan province, iran. according to the acquired data from iran wind turbine industry, common faults of the wind turbine such as sensor fault...

Microgrids have played an important role in distribution networks during recent years.  DC microgrids are very popular among researchers because of their benefits. Protection is one of the significant challenges in the way of microgrids progress. As a result, in this paper, a fault detection and location scheme for DC microgrids is proposed. Due to advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and s...

OBJECTIVES Financial decision-making (FDM) is crucial for independent living. Due to cognitive decline that accompanies normal aging, older adults might have difficulties in some aspects of FDM. However, an improved knowledge, personal experience and affective decision-making, which are also related to normal aging, may lead to a stable or even improved age-related performance in some other asp...

Acoustic fault diagnosis technology equipment is non-contact, and the acoustic signal easy to access. However, it difficult extract feature information of with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, a model (FDM) axle box bearing based on Chirplet transform (CT) support vector machine (SVM) established diagnose signal. The availability verified by comparing vibration acceleration resul...
