A variety of pattern recognition algorithms including neural networks may be applicable to the identification of odors. In this paper, an identification technique for an electronic odor sensing system applicable to wound state monitoring is presented. The performance of the radial basis function(RBF) network is highly dependent on the choice of centers and widths in basis function. For the fine tuning of centers and widths, those parameters are initialized by an ill-conditioned genetic fuzzy c-means algorithm, and the distribution of input patterns in the very first stage, the stochastic gradient(SG), is adapted. The adaptive RBF network with singular value decomposition(SVD), which provides additional adaptation capabilities to the RBF network, is used to process data from array-based gas sensors for early detection of wound infection in burn patients. The primary results indicate that infected patients can be distinguished from uninfected patients.

In this work, to theoretically analyze the nonlinear charging characteristic, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is adopted. Based on the RBFNN, an charging characteristic tendency of a Linear Type Magnetic Flux Pump (LTMFP) is analyzed. In the paper, we developed the LTMFP that generates stable and controllable charging current and also experimentally investigated its charging characteristic in the cryogenic system. From these experimental results, the charging current of the LTMFP was also found to be frequency dependent with nonlinear quality due to the nonlinear magnetic behaviour of superconducting Nb foil. On the whole, in the case of essentially cryogenic experiment, since cooling costs loomed large in the cryogenic environment, it is difficult to carry out various experiments. Consequentially, in this paper, we estimated the nonlinear characteristic of charging current as well as realized the intelligent model via the design of RBFNN based on the experimental data. In this paper, we view RBF neural networks as predominantly data driven constructs whose processing is based upon an effective usage of experimental data through a prudent process of Fuzzy C-Means clustering method. Also, the receptive fields of the proposed RBF neural network are formed by the FCM clustering.

This paper presents the implementation and control of a two wheeled mobile robot(TWMR) based on a balancing mechanism. The TWMR is a mobile inverted pendulum structure that combines an inverted pendulum system and a mobile robot system with two arms instead of a rod. To improve robustness due to disturbances, the radial basis function (RBF) network is used to control an angle and a position at the same time. The reference compensation technique(RCT) is used as a neural control method. Experimental studies are conducted to demonstrate performance of neural network controllers. The robot are implemented with the remote control capability.

Diagnosis techniques based on the dissolved gas analysis(DGA) have been developed to detect incipient faults in power transformers. Various methods exist based on DGA such as IEC, Roger, Dornenburg, and etc. However, these methods have been applied to different problems with different standards. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve an accurate diagnosis by DGA without experienced experts. In order to resolve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel diagnosis method using fuzzy clustering and a radial basis neural network(RBFNN). In the neural network, fuzzy clustering is effective for selecting the efficient training data and reducing learning process time. After fuzzy clustering, the RBF neural network is developed to analyze and diagnose the state of the transformer. The proposed method measures the possibility and degree of aging as well as the faults occurred in the transformer. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, various experiments are performed and their results are presented.

This paper describes on-line retrainable RBF network in order to control the coiling temperature for a hot coil strip at Pohang Iron & Steel Company(POSCO). The proposed neural network can be used for improving conventional rule-based lookup table, which generates a heat transmission coefficient. To cope with time-varying characteristics of hot coil process, additional synaptic weights for on-line retraining purposes are introduced to hidden-to-output weights of conventional RBF network. Those weights are locally adjusted to newly incoming test data while preserving old information trained with off-line past data. Hence the effect of catastrophic interference can be greatly alleviated with the proposed network. In addition, rejection scheme is introduced for reliability concerns. From the experimental results applied to the actual process, it is noticed that overall control performance represents about 2.2% increase compared to the conventional one.

This paper investigates a RBF(Radial Basis Function) equalizer for channel equalization. RBF network has an identical structure to the optimal Bayesian symbol-decision equalizer solution. Therefore RBF can be employed to implement the Bayesian equalizer. Proposed algorithm of this paper makes channel states estimation to be unncessary, also makes center number which is needed indivisual channel to be minimum. Bayesian Equalizer has the theorical optimum performance. Proposed Equalizer performance is compared with this Baysian equalizer performance.

Recently, location information services are gradually expanding due to the development of information and communication technology. RSSI is widely used to extract indoor and outdoor locations. The indoor and outdoor location estimation methods using RSSI are less accurate due to the influence of radio wave paths, interference, and surrounding wireless devices. In order to improve this problem, a distance estimation method that takes into account the wireless propagation environment is necessary. Therefore, in this study, we propose a distance estimation algorithm that takes into account the radio wave environment. The proposed method estimates the distance by learning RSSI input and output considering the RBF neural network and the propagation environment. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the performance of estimating the location of the receiver within a range of up to 55[m] using a BLE beacon transmitter and receiver was compared with the average filter and Kalman filter. As a result, the distance estimation accuracy of the proposed method was 6.7 times higher than that of the average filter and Kalman filter. As shown in the results of this performance evaluation, if the method of this study is applied to location services, more accurate location estimation will be possible.

The vibration signal can give an indication of the condition of rotating machinery, highlighting potential faults such as unbalance, misalignment and bearing defects. The features in the vibration signal provide an important source of information for the faults diagnosis of rotating machinery. When additional training data become available after the initial training is completed, the conventional neural networks (NNs) must be retrained by applying total data including additional training data. This paper proposes the fault diagnostics algorithm using the ART-Kohonen network which does not destroy the initial training and can adapt additional training data that is suitable for the classification of machine condition. The results of the experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm performs better than other NNs as the self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) , learning vector quantization (LYQ) and radial basis function (RBF) NNs with respect to classification quality. The classification success rate for the ART-Kohonen network was 94 o/o and for the SOFM, LYQ and RBF network were 93 %, 93 % and 89 % respectively.

수자원시스템의 설계, 계획, 운영에 있어 핵심적인 수문변수의 미래거동에 대한 보다 나은 추정치가 필요하다. 예를 들어, 수력발전, 레크리에이션 이용과 하류지역의 오염희석과 같은 다중 목적 기능을 유지하기 위하여 다목적댐을 운영할 때에, 다가오는 미래시간에 대한 계획된 유량의 예측이 요구된다. 예측의 목적은 미래에 발생할 정확한 예상치를 제공하는 것이다(Keith W. Hipel, 1994). 본 연구의 주요 목적은 금강수계인 대청댐에서 다변량 신경망 모형을 이용한 유입량 예측을 수행해 보는데 있다. 신경망 모형인 MLP, PCA, RBF모형 등을 이용하여 대청댐의 수문자료인 강우량, 유입량, 기온, 습도 등의 자료를 이용하여 최적의 모형을 탐색해 보고자 시도하였으며, 이중 New classification모형과 New Function Approximation Network모형이 타 모형보다 좋은 결과를 보여 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
