This paper presents a new approach for fault diagnosis in three-level neutral point clamped inverters. The proposed method is based on the average values of the positive and negative parts of normalized output currents. This method is capable of detecting and locating multiple open-circuit faults in the controlled power switches of converters in half of a fundamental period of those currents. The implementation of this diagnostic approach only requires two output currents of the inverter. Therefore, no additional sensors are needed other than the ones already used by the control system of a drive based on this type of converter. Moreover, through the normalization of currents, the diagnosis is independent of the load level of the converter. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed diagnostic technique are validated by experimental results obtained under steady-state and transient conditions.

본 논문에는 관심 영역의 폐실질 영역을 양성과 악성 결절의 분류를 위한 특징인자에 포함으로써 분류성능을 개선하였다. CT를 통해 확인되는 매우 작은 폐결절(4~10mm)은 고형 종양 내에 CT 데이터 복셀 수가 제한되어 기존 컴퓨터보조 진단도구를 통해 처리하기가 어렵다. 이러한 아주 작은 폐 결절의 경우 분석을 위해 주변의 실질을 포함하여 특징인자를 추출하는 것이 CT 복셀 세트를 증가시킬 수 있으며, CT 스캐너와 매개 변수에 대한 컴퓨터 보조진단도구의 유연성을 확보함으로써 진단 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 나이브 베이스와 SVM 약분류기를 이용하는 아다부스트 학습을 통해 304개의 특징인자로부터 유효한 특징인자를 결정하였으며, 제안한 방법을 COPDGene 데이터에 적용한 결과 100%의 정확도, 민감도 및 특이도의 결과를 획득하여 컴퓨터 보조진단에 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보였다.

The Center for Imaging Human Structures (CIH) was established in December 2002 to develop new diagnostic imaging techniques and to make them available to the greater community of biomedical and clinical researchers at Sungkyunkwan University. CIH has been involved in 5 specific activities to provide solutions for early diagnosis and improved treatment of human diseases. The five area goals include: 1) development of a digital mammography system with computer aided diagnosis (CAD); 2) development of digital radiological imaging techniques; 3) development of unified medical solutions using 3D image fusion; 4) development of multi-purpose digital endoscopy; and, 5) evaluation of new imaging systems for clinical application

Pancreatic cancer is a highly fatal malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of < 10%. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a useful noninvasive tool for differential diagnosis of pancreatic malignancy and treatment decision-making. However, the performance of EUS is suboptimal, and its accuracy for differentiating pancreatic malignancy has increased interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Recent studies have reported that EUS-based AI models can facilitate early and more accurate diagnosis than other preexisting methods. This article provides a review of the literature on EUS-based AI studies of pancreatic malignancies.

Electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in power electronics system because of the features of large capacitance, small size, high-voltage, and low-cost. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. This paper proposed a novel fault diagnosis method of an electrolytic capacitor used for voltage smoothing in boost DC converter. The equivalent series resistance(ESR) of electrolytic capacitor estimated from FFT result of filtered waveform of capacitor voltage/current. Main advantage of the proposed method include circuit simplicity and easy implementation. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed method.

This study analyzes the effects of hospital caseload on medical charges and length of stay for inpatients. Hospital caseload, representing the level of concentration of patients, was measured with the Internal Herfindal Index for three diagnosis related group (DRG) codes (appendectomy, operations on anus, and operations on uterus and adnexa). Ordinary least squares regression was used for analysis. Results showed that medical charges per inpatient and average length of stay significantly differed with respect to hospital concentration indices, and that hospital caseload was inversely related to operational performance for appendectomy and operations on uterus and adnexa. The significant negative relationship between concentration index and length of stay may decrease the total medical charges. The results imply that the expansion of the DRG payment system to hospitals will have a negative influence on their gross sales.

This paper describes the results of steam turbine performance tests. The objectives of performance test is to exactly evaluate the degradation(decrease in performance) of the coal-fired steam turbine generator in order to provide plant information to help performance engineers identify problems, improve performance, and make economic decisions about scheduling maintenance and optimizing operation. To achieve these goals, the periodic thermal performance tests have been carried out since the initial operation period, 1997. We made the calculation program and guidelines for the tests and developed the performance index of the turbine cycle on the basis of the ASME PTC. By comparing the performance changes throughout the whole operation period, we confirmed the performance reliabilities of the turbine and its conditions.

Main Spindle System has effect on performance of machine tools and working quality as well as is required of high reliability. Especially, it takes great importance in producing automobiles which includes a large number of working processes. However, main spindle unit in Machine tools are often cases where damage occurs do not meet the design life due to driving in harsh environments. This is when excessive maintenance and repair of machine tools or for damage stability has resulted in huge economic losses. Therefore, this studying propose a method of accelerated life test for diagnosing and prognosis the state of life assessment main spindle system. Time status monitoring of diagnostic data - through the analysis of the frequency band signals were carried out inside the main spindle bearing condition monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Short-circuited can have significant effects on a generator and its performance. One of effective method detecting inter-turn short circuits on round rotor winding is a method using sensor detecting. But the method needs duplicate design of sensor for characteristic change according to types and forms of generator. Thus rotor shorted-turn diagnosis method without sensor is needed for detecting short turn when generator is driven. Diagnosis method without sensor depend on change of electric property in generator For the reason, this paper presents characteristic analysis of shorted-turns in generator by detecting the output voltage of generator.
