All continuous valued wires change their values simultaneously according to the dynamic equations of Lagrangian method, hence this method is suitable for neurocomputing.

Two major factors which limit cutting performance are cracking and instability of the saw blades. This paper describes the results from the development of a diagnostic system which monitors blade vibration and blade tension sensor data to estimate crack length using neurocomputing techniques, to help predict blade failure. It was found that a multi-layered feedforward artificial neural network with two hidden layers produces the most reliable results. The results indicate that this system should enable the detection of cracking in blades while in a running but unloaded (between cuts) state. This may help allow longer run times to be planned with confidence increasing production uptime and minimising maintenance.","PeriodicalId":123427,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Second New Zealand International Two-Stream Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Expert Systems","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114128033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the advantages of online signature verification is that the virtual strokes which are left in the pen-up situation can be obtained. These virtual strokes can be memorized by the computer but are invisible to humans. So there is little possibility of imitating these strokes deliberately. The features included in such strokes are expected to realize a high verification performance. This paper proposes to find the optimal features for signature verification from these virtual strokes by using a genetic algorithm (GA). Experiments are carried out to show the effectiveness of the new method.","PeriodicalId":123427,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Second New Zealand International Two-Stream Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Expert Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131827815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, designing fuzzy IF-THEN rules for fuzzy-controlled non-linear MIMO systems is very difficult because the system is too complex to obtain the knowledge of experts sufficiently. Therefore, automatic design of the rules from input-output data is studied by many researchers. However, it is impossible to apply the designing method to the FCSVC in a three-phase electric power system because the system is so dynamic and the input-output data are not obtained completely. We propose a FCSVC, the rules of which are designed more easily and more efficiently and depend on the condition of the system. The effectiveness of the approach described in the paper is verified by the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":123427,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Second New Zealand International Two-Stream Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Expert Systems","volume":"122 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128493727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a flexible genetic based method for learning the parameters of a FIS from examples such as the subjectivity not to be involved at all.
