Temperature compensation for RLG based on neural network

The ring laser gyro (RLG) dither axis will bend and exhibit errors due to the specific forces acting on the instrument, which are known as g-sensitive misalignments of the gyros. The g-sensitive misalignments of the RLG triad will cause severe attitude error in vibration or maneuver environments where large-amplitude specific forces and angular rates coexist. However, g-sensitive misalignments are usually ignored when calibrating the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). This paper proposes a novel method to calibrate the g-sensitive misalignments of an RLG triad in linear vibration environments. With the SINS is attached to a linear vibration bench through outer rubber dampers, rocking of the SINS can occur when the linear vibration is performed on the SINS. Therefore, linear vibration environments can be created to simulate the harsh environment during aircraft flight. By analyzing the mathematical model of g-sensitive misalignments, the relationship between attitude errors and specific forces as well as angular rates is established, whereby a calibration scheme with approximately optimal observations is designed. Vibration experiments are conducted to calibrate g-sensitive misalignments of the RLG triad. Vibration tests also show that SINS velocity error decreases significantly after g-sensitive misalignments compensation.

In modern aerospace technology, strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS) are widely used, using fiber-optic (FOG) or ring laser (CLG) gyroscopes. During the operation of such systems, the sensitivity axes are rotated relative to the basic coordinate system. The resulting angles between the axes of the base coordinate system and the axes of sensitivity of the navigation system (non-orthogonality) are one of the factors leading to an increase in the measurement errors of the device, which affects the measurement accuracy. During operation, the system is affected by vibrations of various nature, the impact of which can contribute to the appearance of non-orthogonality. The purpose of this work is to determine the maximum permissible vibration amplitudes affecting the SINS body according to the permissible values ​​of the deviation of the FOG sensitivity axes for two variants of the SINS layout. An approach to determining the permissible amplitudes of an external harmonic impact on the unit of a strapdown inertial navigation system based on fiber-optic or ring laser gyroscopes is considered. A design scheme, mathematical and finite element models for calculating natural frequencies and forced oscillations of a strapdown inertial navigation system unit have been developed. In various frequency ranges, numerical calculations have determined the boundary values ​​of the amplitudes of the external harmonic impact on the base of specific configurations of the SINS assembly. It has been established that dangerous states take place in the region of the 1st natural frequency of the system, as well as near higher frequencies. Comparison of the results for design options 1 and 2 allows us to conclude that in order to weaken the effect of vibrations on the accuracy of the SINS unit, it is advisable that the lowest natural vibration frequencies for the SINS assembly be as high as possible (more than 1000 Hz).
 Key words: vibration; fiber optic gyroscope; strapdown inertial navigation system; finite element method; natural frequencies and modes of vibration.

A correcting digital filter for a mechanically dithered single-axis ring laser gyro (RLG) is proposed. The filter is intended to determine the angular position of a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) in the RLG sensitivity axis using the known value of the RLG angular position with respect to inertial space, taking into account the models of the suspension elastic forces nonlinearity, the hysteresis model of vibration energy dissipation, and the model of the suspension piezoceramic vibratory drive. Parameterized models of nonlinearity, dissipation, and the output characteristic of the suspension piezoceramic drive have been developed. A method for finding nonlinearity parameters of elastic forces using a set of experimental amplitudefrequency characteristics (AFC) is proposed. Numerical simulations of the AFCs of an elliptic eliminator and a correcting filter under sinusoidal rotation of the SINS with the amplitude of 1 arcmin in the frequency band of 80–3600 Hz have been performed. The efficiency of the proposed filter has been verified experimentally under pulse action on the SINS; the test results are discussed. Comparison of the experimental and calculated data shows the adequacy of the proposed models and satisfactory operation of the correcting digital filter.

A novel ensemble neural network structure is presented for automatic classification of power quality disturbances. Power quality (PQ) disturbances analysis is the focus of power quality control. The characteristics of PQ disturbances include short duration, variety of types and so on. Power quality disturbances classification is the foundation of power quality control automation. Different types of Neural network, such as BP neural networks, RBF neural networks and probabilistic neural network etc, is already applied in the area of PQ disturbances classification and recognition. The researches about the neural network for PQ disturbances recognition are mainly focused on the optimizing for the signal type of neural network. But the accuracy rate of the classification is still needed to be improved. Ensemble and hybrid algorithms research is currently flourishing in pattern classification machine learning and decision sciences. Compare to traditional NN, the ensemble and hybrid NN classifier achieves higher classification rate. In this paper, a novel PQ classification system using S-transform and ensemble and hybrid NN is designed. There are 2 stages in the novel system. Firstly, the PQ disturbances signals are transformed by S-transform and the subset of features extracted from the result of S-transform is used as the input vector of the ensemble and hybrid NN. Secondly in the pattern classification process, BP network and RBF neural network are utilized as two classification agents. Through choosing different parameters and different samples, every agent includes a group of neural networks. The classification results, generated by different agents, are fuzzified into fuzzy numbers. The centroid of all fuzzy numbers is compared with the threshold. Finally we obtain the classification results. In the simulation, 6 types of disturbances signals which are simulated by Matlab 7.0 use for test the new classification system. Simulation result shows that when the new system has better classification rate especially at the high noising environment.

On the basis of integration of rough sets (RS) and RBF Artificial neural network (ANN), a model is constructed to identify the industry clusters life cycle. Firstly, the continuous attribute values are discretized using fuzzy clustering algorithm based on maximum discernibility value (MDV) search method and information entropy. And then the major attributes are reduced by rough sets. At last, taking 138 industry clusters as samples, the RBF neural network is trained with training samples and life cycle stages of testing samples are identified. The empirical results show that the fuzzy clustering algorithm based on MDV and information entropy can improve the discretization performance effectively, and the integration model of rough sets and neural network, the predicting precision of which is high, is an efficient and practical tool to identify industry clusters life cycle.

Icing condition prediction of wind turbine blade by using artificial neural network based on modal frequency

A new optical method of testing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater with multi-wavelength at UV band is reported. The normal UV254 is based on the UV light absorption by wastewater at 254nm according to the Beer-Lambert law. But not all of the wastewater has obviously absorption at 254nm. The new method use back-propagation artificial neural network(BP network) to determine COD of the samples. After the BP network is training by a series wastewater's samples which have similar ingredient but different COD, the sample's absorbance at UV band(between 240~400nm) is analyzed, and the specific wavelength which is associative with sample's COD is picked out. These wavelength can be used to calculated the COD value, and the result is close to standard chemical method. Comparing with UV254, the new method is more stability and precise, and better adaptability to varied wastewater.

Objectives: Evaluating daily functioning of people with mental illnesses with questionaires is time-consuming. Additionally, patients' familiarity with the context of function tests compromises test accuracy. Applying a computer-assisted support assessment system in this study, we intended to predict the daily functioning of the mentally ill objectively and conveniently. Methods: We collected 54 patients attending a psychiatric daycare ward at a medical center in the Taipei city. A five-fold cross-validation scheme was applied to minimize possible bias and to provide reliable estimates. We used discriminant analysis (DA) and a back-propagation neural network (BPN), to predict patients' daily functioning, according to gender, educational background, diagnosis, and age, on Chu's daily function scale. Results: Both models achieved high average overall accuracy of more than 70%. The BPN model had a high overall classification accuracy of 92.55%, 16.55% better than that of the DA model. Additionally, the discriminant function showed that young males not diagnosed with schizophrenia had better daily function. Conclusion: This study was found that the BPN as a computer-assisted assessment support system predicted daily functioning more effectively than DA. To predict daily functioning relatively more precisely, we suggest that future research need to expand the sample population and to use additional variables, such as patients' personality, family support, and living status.

Study of Emotion Recognition Based on Electrocardiogram and RBF neural network

The main objective of this research work was to use Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based method for solving Power Flow Problem for a power system in Nigeria. This was achieved using the Backpropagation (multilayered feed-forward) Neural Network model. Two Backpropagation neural networks were designed and trained; one for computing voltage magnitudes on all buses and the other for computing voltage phase angles on all PV and PQ buses for different load and generation conditions for a 7-bus 132 kV power system in South-West Nigeria (Ayede). Due to unavailability of historical field records, data representing different scenarios of loading and/or generation conditions had to be generated using Newton-Raphson non-linear iterative method. A total of 250 scenarios were generated out of which 50% were used to train the ANNs, 25% were used for validation and the remaining 25% were used as test data for the ANNs. The test data results showed very high accuracy for the ANN used for computing voltage magnitudes for all test data with a Mean Square Error (MSE) of less than 10-6. Also, the ANN used for computing voltage phase angles showed very high accuracy in about 80% of the test data and acceptable results in about 97% of the test data. The MSE for all the test data results for the ANN computing voltage phase angles was less than 10-2.

Temporary storage for collection of municipal solid waste is designed with various parameters, such as size of bin, collection frequency, average filling rate, number of bins, volume of material needed for bin production, bin density, and catchment area. The environmental impact of temporary storage is evaluated with emissions generated due to the production of net material used for bin production. An artificial neural network-back propagation method is proposed for modeling the temporary storage. In this proposed artificial neural network-back propagation network, the number of bins and global warming potential (GWP) based on the quantity of generated wastes are predicted. Thus, a set of different structures of artificial neural network-back propagation are investigated and then the best model is developed for temporary storage of municipal solid waste. The artificial neural network-back propagation model is trained using various parameters, such as number of neurons in the hidden layers, training tolerance, momentum, and learning rate. This model is helpful for the decision makers in choosing the environmentally sound options in the design of temporary storage for municipal solid waste management. Artificial neural network-back propagation can be successfully used to predict number of bins, GWP from waste generation rate of the city.

In a competitive electricity market, wind power prediction is important for market participants. However, the prediction has not a general solution due to its inherent uncertainty, intermittency, and multi-fractal nature. This paper firstly constructs a small-world BP neural network (SWBP) with weight convergence and statistics analysis in order to build a maximum approximation for its nonlinear computation. Then, a modified mutual information (MI) is presented to select the input features for the SWBP, whose selection criteria is to establish the relationship between the numerous candidate features of the input and output associated with the wind power prediction by eliminating the redundant. Thirdly, the improved SWBP based on the modified MI is compared with the BP network upon the 15-min-ahead wind power prediction for performance testing, which includes convergence, training time, and forecast accuracy. Moreover, mean value method is adopted to smooth the volatility of selected input. At last, illustrative examples based on the 4-h-ahead rolling prediction are given to demonstrate its stability, validity, and accuracy of the proposed methodology contrasted with the BP, PSOBP, and RBF neural network algorithms.
