Intermittent and transient faults are the largest source of failure for body sensor networks. In order to provide a method for detecting permanent, intermittent and transient faults, a distributed online solution is suggested. The diagnosis algorithm uses repeated testing in discrete time, and diagnostic messages are sent as the output of the routine tasks of the network. This work adopts a mul...

Some degree of interest has recently been aroused in the question of the occurrence and incidence of spina bifida. Despite the efforts made by many theorists in the past, its mode of production still remains obscure; it is known' that fundamentally there is a defective formation of the mesodermal tissues surrounding the primitive neural plate, and that the process of chondrification and subsequ...

As process technology has progressed to nanometric scale transistors gate length, faults regarding effects due to electromagnetic interference, free ions and particles have increased. Efforts to reduce this susceptibility were made in many works, as critical systems can have their functions severely affected. This work presents the use of digital sigma-delta modulation to cope with fault occurr...

landslides and slope instabilities are major hazards for human activities often causing economiclosses and property damages. sikan river basin (ilam province) due to the topography, tectonic,lithology, and climate has enough potential for occurrence of this phenomenon. the objectives of thisstudy were to determine effective parameters controlling the landslide occurrence and to preparezonation ...

Gait study on quadruped robots with a locked joint failure is discussed in this paper. The quadruped robot has a moving appendage which, attached onto the robot body, serves as a controllable apparatus that changes the equivalent position of the center of gravity. We propose a crab gait sequence for the quaruped robot to continue its static walking despite an occurrence of a locked joint failur...

We study sensor minimization problems in the context of fault diagnosis. Fault diagnosis consists of synthesizing a diagnoser that observes a given plant and identifies faults in the plant as soon as possible after their occurrence. Existing literature on this problem has considered the case of static observers, where the set of observable events does not change during execution of the system. ...

This paper proposed an efficient network management software tool named Smart Access Network _ Testing, Analyzing and Database (SANTAD) for remote control, inservice transmission surveillance, centralized monitoring, and fault detection for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) using Visual Basic programming. A virtual network is setup to operate the software tool from central office (CO) or remote point. T...

The necessity of using several components in multilevel inverters jeopardizes the reliability their operation. Hence, aim this article is to propose a novel single-phase fault-tolerant topology based on switched-capacitor concept ensure robustness converter occurrence fault. proposed single-source steps up input voltage seven times with simple control strategy. Fault tolerance achieved by consi...
