On-site diagnosis of chiller performance is an essential step fur energy saving business. The main purpose of the on-site diagnosis is to predict the COP of a target chiller. Many models based on thermodynamics background have been proposed for this purpose. However, they have to be modified from chiller to chiller and require deep insight into thermodynamics that most of field engineers are often lacking in. This study focuses on developing an easy-to-use diagnostic technique that is based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Quality of the training data for ANFIS, sampled over June through September, is assessed by checking COP prediction errors. The architecture of the ANFIS, its error bounds, and collection of training data are described in detail.

Recently, as the feasibility study shows that trans-Korea railway and trans-continental railway are advantageous, interest in high-speed railway system is increasing. Because railway vehicle is environment-friendly and safe compared with airplane and ship, its market-sharing increases gradually. KHST(Korean High Speed Train) has been developed by KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute) for last 6 years to satisfy the need. An electric railway system is composed of high-tech subsystems, among which main electric equipment such as transformers and converter are critical components determining the performance of rolling stock. We developed a measurement system for on-line test and evaluation of performances of KHST. The measurement system is composed of software part and hardware part. Perfect interface between multi-users is possible. A now method to measure temperature was applied to the measurement system. By using the system, fault diagnosis and performance evaluation of electric equipment in Korean High Speed Train was conducted during test running.

To improve fault isolation performance of the Bayes isolator, this paper proposes the Fuzzy-Bayes isolator, which uses the Fuzzy-Bayes classifier as a fault isolator. The Fuzzy-Bayes classifier is composed of the Bayes classifier and weighting factor, which is determined by fuzzy inference logic. The Mahalanobis distance derivative is mapped to the weighting factor by fuzzy inference logic. The Fuzzy-Bayes fault isolator is designed for the BLDC motor fault diagnosis system. Fault isolation performance is evaluated by the experiments. The research results indicate that the Fuzzy-Bayes fault isolator improves fault isolation performance and that it can reduce the transition region chattering that is occurred when the fault is injected. In the experiment, chattering is reduced by about half that of the Bayes classifier's.

System-level diagnosis plays an important technique for fault detection in multi-processor systems. Efficient diagnosis is very important for real time systems as well as multiprocessor systems. Feng(1) proposed two adaptive diagnosis algorithms HADA and IHADA for hypercube system. The diagnosis cost, measured by diagnosis time and the number of test links, depends on the number and location of the faults. In this paper, we propose an adaptive diagnosis algorithm using the syndrome analysis. This removes unnecessary overhead generated in HADA and IHADA algorithm sand give a better performance compared to Feng's Method.

Microscopy is considered as the gold standard for malaria diagnosis although its wide application is limited by the requirement of highly experienced microscopists. PCR and serological tests provide efficient diagnostic performance and have been applied for malaria diagnosis and research. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of nested PCR and a recently developed an ELISA-based new rapid diagnosis test (RDT), NovaLisa test kit, for diagnosis of malaria infection, using microscopic method as the gold standard. The performance of nested-PCR as a malaria diagnostic tool is excellent with respect to its high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ability to discriminate Plasmodium species. The sensitivity and specificity of nested-PCR compared with the microscopic method for detection of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and P. falciparum/P. vivax mixed infection were 71.4 vs 100%, 100 vs 98.7%, and 100 vs 95.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA-based NovaLisa test kit compared with the microscopic method for detection of Plasmodium genus were 89.0 vs 91.6%, respectively. NovaLisa test kit provided comparable diagnostic performance. Its relatively low cost, simplicity, and rapidity enables large scale field application.

The location of PV systems in distribution system has been increased as one of countermeasure for global environmental issues. As the operation efficiency of PV systems is getting decreased year by year due to the aging phenomenon and maintenance problems, the optimal algorithm for state diagnosis in PV systems is required in order to improve operation performance in PV systems. The existing output prediction algorithms considering various parameters and conditions of PV modules could have complicated calculation process and then their results may have a possibility of significant prediction error. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an optimal prediction algorithm of PV system by using least square methods of linear regression analysis. And also, this paper presents a performance evaluation algorithm in PV modules based on the proposed optimal prediction algorithm of PV system. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is a practical tool of the state diagnosis for performance improvement in PV systems.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing importance and the performance of nursing interventions linked to five nursing diagnoses and find out core nursing interventions to each of the five nursing diagnosis. The five nursing diagnoses were Pain, Diarrhea, Constipation, Hyperthermia, and Infection: Risk for. Method: Data was collected from nurses working in four different hospitals. Data were analyzed using mean, SD, and paired t-test to compare difference between importance and performance of each intervention. Result: In general interventions related to medication, such as Medication Administration: IV, Medication Administration: IM, Medication Administration: Oral, Medication Management were all considered highly important and performed very often regardless of nursing diagnoses. And the level of importance was higher than the performance in most of all the interventions linked to five nursing diagnoses. Only two interventions, Medication Administration and Intravenous (IV) insertion had higher level of performance than importance in the diagnoses of Pain and Diarrhea respectively. Conclusion: Using the above findings, we now know which intervention should be performed more frequently to solve nursing problems and which interventions are more critically important to nursing diagnosis. This information can be very helpful for developing nursing information system.

생산 공정에서 발생하는 비정상적인 이상 (fault)의 진단 (diagnosis)은 고품질의 제품을 생산함에 있어 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 회분식 공정 (batch process)과 같이 부가가치가 큰 반도체나 의약품 등의 첨단 제품을 생산하는 공정에서는 더욱 실시간 진단의 역할이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 회분식 공정으로부터 얻은 측정 데이터와 비선형 분류(nonlinear classification)에 기초한 실시간 이상 진단 체계에 있어서 변수선택과 미래값 추정 기법이 진단 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가한다. 공정 변수 중 진단에 필수적이며 기여도가 높은 변수만을 선택하여 진단 모델 (diagnosis model)을 구성함으로써 진단 성능의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 변수선택 (variable selection) 기법들의 진단 성능을 비교 평가한다. 또한, 현재 진행 중인 회분식 조업 데이터는 종료되기 이전에는 진단에 필요한 전체 데이터를 얻을 수 없으므로 현재 시점에서 측정되지 못한 미래 측정값 (future observations)이 추정되어야 한다. 미래값 추정방법들의 선택이 변수선택과 분류기반 진단 관점에서 진단 성능에 어떻게 영향을 주는지 평가한다. 폴리염화비닐 회분식 공정에 대한 사례 연구를 수행하여 최적의 변수선택과 미래값 추정방법을 도출하였다. 변수선택 방법에 따라 최대 21.9%와 13.3%의 성능 향상을 보였으며 미래값 추정방법에 따라서는 최대 25.8%와 15.2% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The maintenance of semiconductor equipment is crucial for the continuous growth of the semiconductor market. System management is imperative given the anticipated increase in the capacity and complexity of industrial equipment. Ensuring optimal operation of manufacturing processes is essential to maintaining a steady supply of numerous parts. Particularly, monitoring the status of substrate transfer robots, which play a central role in these processes, is crucial. Diagnosing failures of their major components is vital for preventive maintenance. Fault diagnosis methods can be broadly categorized into physics-based and data-driven approaches. This study focuses on data-driven fault diagnosis methods due to the limitations of physics-based approaches. We propose a methodology for data acquisition and preprocessing for robot fault diagnosis. Data is gathered from vibration sensors, and the data preprocessing method is applied to the vibration signals. Subsequently, the dataset is trained using Gradient Tree-based XGBoost machine learning classification algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated through performance evaluation metrics, including accuracy, F1 score, and confusion matrix. The XGBoost classifiers achieve an accuracy of approximately 92.76% and an equivalent F1 score. ROC curves indicate exceptional performance in class discrimination, with 100% discrimination for the normal class and 98% discrimination for abnormal classes.
