It is used in all aspects of our lives. But as every metal is can be defected and then will not be useful by the consumer Steel surface inspection has seen an important attention in relation with industrial quality of products. In addition, it has been studied in different methods based on image classification in the most of time, but these can detect only such kind of defects in very limited conditions such as illumination, obvious contours, contrast and noise...etc. In this paper, we aim to try a new method to detect steel defects this last depend on artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks. We will discuss the automatic detection of steel surface defects using the convolutional neural network, which can classify the images in their specific classes. The steel we are going to use will be well-classified weather the conditions of imaging are not the same, and this is the advantage of the convolutional neural network in our work. The accuracy and the robustness of the results are so satisfying.","PeriodicalId":153848,"journal":{"name":"Algerian Journal of Signals and Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128508461","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}

The supported catalysts have been successfully used in the chemical industries for a long time, in which carbon supported catalysts have allowed to a new chemical catalytic process, on the other hand Heterogeneous catalysis plays a key role in the manufacture of essential products in different fields.

The basic structure of PMU consists of Synchronization Unit, Measurement Unit and Data Transmission Unit. The Measurement Unit has three components: Anti-aliasing filters, Analog-to-Digital Converter and Phasor measurement Unit/ Processor. An anti-aliasing filter ensures that all the analog signals have the same phase shift and attenuation thus assuring that the phase angle differences and relative magnitudes of the different signals are unchanged. Anti-aliasing filters made up of an analog front end and a digital decimation filter are far more stable as far as aging and temperature variations are concerned. IEEE C37.118 standard stipulates that it is mandatory to use the filter for avoiding any aliasing errors. Out of various analog filters, the Butterworth has been preferred due to its flat response in pass-band as compared to other filters. In this work, it is attempted to design anti-aliasing filters to be used in PMUs. The design problem is formulated as an optimization task that is solved using the Taguchi method. The results show better performance in terms characteristics compared to the conventional filters. The designed filters may be employed as building blocks in modern PMUs.","PeriodicalId":153848,"journal":{"name":"Algerian Journal of Signals and Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123540630","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 this paper, numerical approaches are proposed to forecast the PV modules performance for engineering applications. The proposed approaches were implemented in a Matlab script and the results have been compared with the datasheet values provided by manufacturers in standard test conditions (STC). These approaches permit to extract the unknown parameters and also allow quantifying the effects of module temperature and irradiance on key cells parameters.
