BACKGROUND The methods of arrangement of combined intravenous parallel infusions using anti-reflux valve (ARV), with and without anti-syphon valve (ASV) that could decrease occlusion alarm delay were investigated. METHODS Occlusion challenge tests were mainly performed as bench experiments of four kinds of multiple parallel infusions (10 ml/h and 50 ml/h infusions), which were connected at th...

Alarm sounds triggered by biomedical equipment play a key role in providing healthcare in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This paper presents our work on automatic detection of acoustic alarms in a noisy NICU environment, where knowledge about the particular characteristics of each alarm class is integrated at different stages of the detection system. The feature extraction is based on a...

The temperature, humidity, air composition and pH value are very important parameters in the granary that keep the grain safely store and good quality. Nowadays only temperature and moisture are used in most granary monitor and control system.Air composition, pH and insect pest are not monitored because classic industrial personal computer or microcomputer are not able to handle these real-time...

This paper introduces a framework for screening cargo containers for nuclear material at security stations throughout the United States using knapsack problem, reliability, and Bayesian probability models. The approach investigates how to define a system alarm given a set of screening devices, and hence, designs and analyzes next-generation security system architectures. Containers that yield a...

The work introduces Island Restoration Scheme (IRS) with online restoration of missing sensor data. This paper focuses on the Restoration Scheme with Intelligent Sensing and Monitoring and also entails fuzzy logic theory representation for alarm analysis in electrical power system based on expert system . Theoretical and mathematical representation of alarm analysis for fault diagnosis has also...

–The performance of a radar detector may become inaccurate when key parameters of the system are imprecise. Imprecise parameters are modeled here as fuzzy numbers. The Fuzzy Integrator detector is constructed for a Rician target in Rayleigh background. Results indicate that the precision of the detection performance decreases as parameter imprecision increases. The false alarm rate is particula...

The papers in the series are intended for internal use and are distributed by the author. Copies may be ordered from the library of Department of Computer Science. Abstract Telecommunication networks produce large amounts of alarm information daily. This data contains potentially valuable knowledge about the network. We present a methodology for the analysis of large telecommunication networks ...

This paper describes a knowledge-based vision system for automating the interpretation of alarm events resulting from a perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS). Moving blobs extracted over a sequence of digitised images are analysed to identify the cause of alarm. Alarm causes are modelled by a network of frames, and models are maintained for the scene. Due to poor spatial resolution, non-v...
