Switching of the transmission lines(T/L) is one of the methods for wuppressing the short circuit capacity. This paper presents the T/L switching operation by using the Hopfield neural network(HNN). The switching of T/L can make the line powers and the bus voltages deteriorated, as well as the fault current decreased. Such an insecure state should be avoided when the T/L is operated to be open. In this studies, the inequality constraints are formulated into the objective function to be incorporated with the HNN. Test results show that the convergence characteristics of HNN lead to the adequate solution of T/L switching.

Quality estimation of the weld has been one of the important issues in RSW which is a main process of the sheep metal fabrication in auto-body industry, It was well known that among the various welding process variables, dynamic resistance has a close relation with nugget formation. With this variable, it is possible to estimate the weld quality in real time. In this study, a new quality estimation algorithm is developed with the primary dynamic resistance measured at welding machine timer. For this, feature recognition method of Hopfield neural network is used. Primary resistance patterns are vectorized and classified with five patterns. The network trained by these patterns recognizes the dynamic resistance pattern and estimates the weld quality Because the process variable monitored at the primary circuit is used, it is possible to apply this system to real time application without any consideration of electrode wear or shunt effect.

The chalcopyrite $ZnIn_2S_4$ epilayers were grown on the GaAs substrate by using a hot-wall epitaxy (HWE) method. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ have been estimated to be 0.1541 eV and 0.0129 eV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the $\Gamma_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnIn_2S_4$/GaAs epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1^-}$, $B_{1^-}$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1. Also, we obtained the $A_{\infty^-}$ and B-exciton peaks from the PC spectrum at 293 K.

This paper proposes a neural network algorithm for real-time multiprocessor scheduling problem. The proposed algorithm is developed base on Hopfield neural network for a benefit of parallel processing, in order to finish a requested task within a deadline time. To compare the performance of the proposed algorithm, we used EDA and LLA algorithm that has studied real-time multiprocessor scheduling before. The proposed algorithm is implemented hardware using VHDL.

This paper presents a neural network-based computational scheme to generate the optimized robotic assembly sequence for an assembly product consisting of a number of parts. An assembly sequence is considered to be optimal when it meets a number of conditions : it must satisfy assembly constraints, keep the stability of in-process subassemblies, and minimize assembly cost. To derive such an optimal sequence, we propose a scheme using both the Hopfield neural network and the expert system. Based upon the inferred precedence constraints and the assembly costs from the expert system, we derive the evolution equation of the network. To illustrate the suitability of the proposed scheme, a case study is presented for industrial product of an electrical relay. The result is compared with that obtained from the expert system.

In this paper, an interface between a human and a computer is presented. The human and computer interface(HCI) serves as another area of human and machine interfaces. Methods for the HCI we used are voice recognition and image recognition for detecting human's emotional feelings. The idea is that the computer can recognize the present emotional state of the human operator, and amuses him/her in various ways such as turning on musics, searching webs, and talking. For the image recognition process, the human face is captured, and eye and mouth are selected from the facial image for recognition. To train images of the mouth, we use the Hopfield Net. The results show 88%$\sim$92% recognition of the emotion. For the vocal recognition, neural network shows 80%$\sim$98% recognition of voice.

This paper presents a new maching algorithm by Hopfield Neural Network for 3-D object recognition. In the proposed method, a model object is represented by a set of polygons in a single coordinate. And each polygon is described by a set of features; feature attributes. In case of 3-D object recognition, the scale and poses of the object are important factors. So we propose a strategy for 3-D object recognition independently to its scale and poses. In this strategy, the respective features of the input or the model objects are changed to the startegical constants when they are compared with one another. Finally, we show that the proposed method has a robustness through the results of experiments which included the classification of the input objects and the matching sequence to its 3-D rotation and scale.

This paper proposes a new test pattern generation methodology for combinational logic circuits using neural networks based on a modular structure. The CUT (Circuit Under Test) is described in our gate level hardware description language. By conferring neural database, the CUT is compiled to an ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) neural network. Each logic gate in CUT is represented as a discrete Hopfield network. Such a neual network is called a gate module in this paper. All the gate modules for a CUT form an ATPG neural network by connecting each module through message passing paths by which the states of modules are transferred to their adjacent modules. A fault is injected by setting the activation values of some neurons at given values and by invalidating connections between some gate modules. A test pattern for an injected fault is obtained when all gate modules in the ATPG neural network are stabilized through evolution and mutual interactions. The proposed methodology is efficient for test generation, known to be NP-complete, through its massive paralelism. Some results on combinational logic circuits confirm the feasibility of the proposed methodology.

It is well known that an assembly operation is usually constrained by the geometric interference between parts. These constraints are normally presented as AND/OR precedence relationships. To find a feasible assembly sequence which satisfies the geometric constraints is not an easy task because of the TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem) nature with precedence constraints. In this paper, we developed an automated system based on Neural Network for generating feasible assembly sequences. Modified Hopfield and Tank network is used to solve the problem of AND/OR precedence-constrained assembly sequences. An economic assembly sequence can be also obtained by applying the cost matrix that contains cost-reducing factors. To evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the developed system, a case of automobile generator is tested. The results show that the developed system can provide a "good" planning tool for an assembly planner within a reasonable computation time period.

This paper presents an Differential Search(DS) Algorithm for solving the economic load dispatch(ELD) problems with Valve-Point loading constraints. DS algorithm simulates the Brownian-like random-walk movement used by an organism to migrate. Numerical results on a test system consisting of 13 units show that the proposed approach is faster, more robust and powerful than conventional algorithms. Case studies show the simulation results are better than Lagrange method, the Hopfield neural networks and GA.
