The fault diagnosis technologies may be applied in order to decrease the energy consumption and the maintenance cost of an air-conditioning system. In this paper, a fault diagnosis algorithm was developed by using a neural no-fault model and a dual fuzzy logic. Five different faults, such as the compressor valve leakage, the liquid line blockage, the condenser fouling, the evaporator fouling, and the refrigerant leakage of an air-conditioning system, were considered. The fault diagnosis algorithm was tested by using a fault simulation facility. Test results showed that the algorithm developed for this study was effective to detect and diagnose various faults. Therefore, this algorithm may be practically used for the fault diagnosis of an air-conditioning system.

This paper proposes a controller design method using the evolutionary computation algorithm and the fuzzy logic to control the wafer temperature in rapid thermal processing. First, we design the feedforward static controller to provide the control powers of the lamps for the given steady state temperature. Second, the feedforward dynamic controller is designed for the additional control powers to achieve a given transient response. These feedforward controllers are implemented by using the fuzzy logic to act as a global nonlinear controller over a wide range of operating points. The parameters of these controllers are optimized by using the evolutionary computation algorithm so that it can be used when the mathematical model is not available. In addition, the feedback error controller is introduced to compensate the feedforward controllers when there exist disturbances and modeling errors. The gain of feedback error controller is also obtained by the evolutionary computation algorithm. Through simulations, we verify the proposed control system can give a satisfactory performance.

A fuzzy classifier which needs various analyses of features using genetic algorithms is proposed. The fuzzy classifier has a simple structure, which contains a classification part based on fuzzy logic theory and a rule generation part using genetic algorithms. The rule generation part determines optimal fuzzy membership functions and inclusion or exclusion of each feature in fuzzy classification rules. We analyzed recognition rate of a specific object, then added finer features repetitively, if necessary, to the object which has large misclassification rate. And we introduce repetitive analyses method for the minimum size of string and population, and for the improvement of recognition rates. This classifier is applied to two examples of the recognition of iris data and the recognition of Thyroid Gland cancer cells. The fuzzy classifier proposed in this paper has recognition rates of 98.67% for iris data and 98.25% for Thyroid Gland cancer cells.

Recently, a number of researches about linear magnetorheological(MR) damper using valve-mode characteristics of MR fluid have sufficiently undertaken, but researches about rotary MR damper using shear-mode characteristics of MR fluid are not enough. In this paper, we performed vibration control of shear-mode MR damper for unlimited rotating actuator of mobile robot. Also fuzzy logic based vibration control for shear-mode MR damper is suggested. The parameters, like scaling factor of input/output and center of the triangular membership functions associated with the different linguistic variables, are tuned by genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy-skyhook controller for vibration control of shear-mode MR damper under impact force.

본 연구의 목적은 에어 서스펜션 시스템의 제어 특성을 분석하는 것이다. 우선 에어 서스펜션 시스템의 수학적 모델을 구하였다. 그리고 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 적용하여 반능동식 하이브리드 제어 에어 서스펜션을 구하였다. 차체 가속도에 따라 퍼지 제어기는 오리피스 개도를 변경하여 특정 영역에서 에어 스프링의 강도를 조정한다. 동시에 서스펜션 운동 상태에 따라 서스펜션 댐핑이 제어된다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 반능동식 하이브리드 제어 에어 서스펜션이 노면 접지능력의 상실이나 서스펜션 작동 공간의 증가 없이 최고의 승차감을 제공할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Recently many cars are equipping a navigation system. The main purpose of the early system guides a user through the route. A navigation system includes various abilities by development of various technologies and it has given more convenience to user. It can play various records on the tape and announces which are useful information about each road. Also it can use various multi-media contents by DMB device during driving. However, guide function of basic and important road in the navigation system has not grown greatly yet. In this paper, we proposed recommendation method of human-friendly road considering user's condition through various information of outside environment, user's velocity intention, a driver's emotion and a preference of the road. Modules consists of hierarchical structure that can easily correct and add each algorithm and those use fuzzy logic algorithm.

The work presented in this paper deals with a navigation problem for a multiple mobile robots in unknown dynamic environments. The environments are completely unknown to the robots; thus, proximity sensors installed on the robots' bodies must be used to detect information about the surroundings. In order to guide the robots along collision-free paths to reach their goal positions, a navigation method based on a combination of primary strategies has been developed. Most of these strategies are achieved by means of fuzzy logic controllers, and are uniformly applied in every robot. In order to improve the performance of the proposed fuzzy logic, the genetic algorithms were used to evolve the membership functions and rules set of the fuzzy controller. The simulation experiments verified that the proposed method effectively addresses the navigation problem.

In order to control multi-zone temperatures, a multi-type air-conditioning system may be used. In this study, control algorithms for the compressor and the electronic expansion valve of a multi-type air-conditioning system were developed by using fuzzy logics. The compressor control algorithm was composed of a compressor pressure setpoint algorithm, a compressor pressure setpoint reset algorithm, and a compressor frequency setpoint algorithm. The electronic expansion valve control algorithm was composed of an indoor temperature control algorithm, and a superheat control algorithm. These algorithms were applied to a multi-type air-conditioning system. Test showed good results for the control of a multi-type air-conditioning system.

This paper proposes a new fire-flame detection method using probabilistic membership function of visual features and Fuzzy Finite Automata (FFA). First, moving regions are detected by analyzing the background subtraction and candidate flame regions then identified by applying flame color models. Since flame regions generally have continuous and an irregular pattern continuously, membership functions of variance of intensity, wavelet energy and motion orientation are generated and applied to FFA. Since FFA combines the capabilities of automata with fuzzy logic, it not only provides a systemic approach to handle uncertainty in computational systems, but also can handle continuous spaces. The proposed algorithm is successfully applied to various fire videos and shows a better detection performance when compared with other methods.

This paper is proposed adaptive fuzzy-neuro controller for high performance of induction motor drive. The design of this algorithm based on fuzzy-neural network controller that is implemented using fuzzy control and neural network. This controller uses fuzzy nile as training patterns of a neural network. Also, this controller uses the back-propagation method to adjust the weights between the neurons of neural network in order to minimize the error between the command output and actual output. A model reference adaptive scheme is proposed in which the adaptation mechanism is executed by fuzzy logic based on the error and change of error measured between the motor speed and output of a reference model. The control performance of the adaptive fuzzy-neuro controller is evaluated by analysis for various operating conditions. The results of experiment prove that the proposed control system has strong high performance and robustness to parameter variation, and steady-state accuracy and transient response.
