Fault detection, fault isolation and fault diagnosis are addressed within a statistical framework. The corresponding inference problems are stated. Several statistical tools for solving these inference problems are described. Particular emphasis is put on dealing with nuisance parameters and deciding between multiple hypotheses. How to use these tools for solving FDI problems is discussed. An e...

This paper puts forward a fault isolation method for nonlinear dynamic systems. The method based on nonlinear observers and using parameter partition. It fits many kinds of nonlinear dynamic systems and its fault isolation speed is satisfying.

In this paper, a new actuator fault detection and isolation method for a four wheel independent drive electric vehicle is proposed. Also, a controller based on sliding mode control method is proposed for lateral stability of the vehicle. The proposed control method is designed in three high, medium and low levels. At the high-level, the vehicle desired dynamics such as longitudinal speed refere...

Process and power plant control, along with fault detection/isolation are being addressed by significant on-going research with many theoretical developments focused on improvements for all of these major industrial applications. This report provides an overview of the current key problems, recent accomplishments and trends, as well as a forecast of anticipated developments within this very imp...

This article presents a model-based fault diagnosis method to detect and isolate faults in the robot arm control system. The proposed algorithm is composed functionally of three main parts: parameter estimation, fault detection, and isolation. When a change in the system occurs, the errors between the system output and the estimated output cross a predetermined threshold, and once a fault in th...

By reviewing the existing literature and empirical investigation, we build a socalled Photosynthesis model which argues that a recipient developing country only achieves benefits from FDI once they have sufficient absorptive capacity related to human capital resource, absorptive capacity of domestic firm, financial systems, physical infrastructure, technological, and institutional development. ...

A model-free hybrid fault diagnosis technique is proposed to improve the performance of single and double fault detection and isolation. This is a model-free hybrid method which combines the extended parity space approach (EPSA) with a multi-resolution signal decomposition by using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Conventional EPSA can detect and isolate single and double faults. The perform...

To fully understand foreign affiliates’ behaviour in regional agglomerations (hereafter RAs), we argue it would be useful to analyze the networking patterns of such affiliates in reference to domestic firms within the local market environment. Consequently, we examined 184 electronics plants,

This paper investigates FDI-related spillovers in Brazil for the period 1996-2005. In contrast to most previous recent studies, which have failed to identify any significant effects in emerging economies, we found that horizontal spillovers did arise in Brazil. However, they did not arise simply as a consequence of general FDI-mediated technology transfer from MNC headquarters, as the standard ...

This paper deals with the problem of fault detection and isolation. Existence conditions of a solution to this problem are recalled before the proposal of another solution. The proof carrying out the effectiveness of the proposed solution and illustrative examples are the main results.Copyright c © 2005 IFAC
