This method identifies the black screen fault feature by calculating the entropy value of the relevant attributes and selecting those with higher entropy. The attribute data is then discretized using an equidistant division method. A training sample set for black screen fault detection is constructed based on the bagging method, and decision trees are subsequently built and tailored to the identified fault characteristics.

State-of-the-art computing and cloud infrastructures shall be demanded from smart medical facilities. This work presents the development of a Deep Optimized Network model: IoMT-enabled intelligent, automated edge computing environment for healthcare monitoring in disease diagnosis. In this regard, we have utilized the technique of feature selection, called Coot Optimized Feature Selection, for choosing only the relevant features from preprocessed medical data so that the performance of the classifier improves both at the time of training and at testing. Further, we propose a novel deep learning-based algorithm called the Convoluted Recurrent Attention Network, CRAN, which can identify and classify various diseases related to genetic disorder, chronic disease, or heart-related disorder while maintaining low time complexity with high efficiency. In this respect, the hyper-parameters of the CRAN model are fine-tuned using the Cray Fish Optimization technique, allowing optimal classification learning. Extensive performance evaluations using the widely recognized open-source medical datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed DON model. The results identify the outcomes of the model with high accuracy in the classification of diseases, establishing it as a reliable solution for effective health monitoring. From these findings, one may infer that the integration of IoMT with advanced computational techniques would definitely enhance the healthcare delivery systems.

Precise measurement and data processing may allow for improvement in the control quality. Many advantages were achieved in the increasing accuracy of the surface topography measuring devices and whole control systems. Since contactless measuring equipment is much faster than tactile, analysis of surface topography for industrial applications was encouraged under the non-contact systems. However, those rapidly evolving measuring techniques are fraught with many external disturbances which can radically affect the final surface topography measurement results. One<!--> <!-->of the often considered errors is those strictly related to the vibrations. As the effect of this type of external disturbance, the surface topography measurement results are burdened with the occurrence of high-frequency noise. A standardised and often proposed method for the compensation of this type of measurement error is to repeat the measurement process and average the received results. It seems to be the most encouraging proposal, however, the time-reducing requirements from the industry performance do not pose this solution as optimal. Therefore, a well-known and often used in surface metrology is an S-filter, data processing algorithm based on the Gaussian weighting function. From many intensive studies, it was concluded that this filtering approach may increase errors in the calculation of ISO 25178 surface texture parameters. Some of the ISO 25178 surface texture parameters were distorted by more than 100%, especially those sensitive to the occurrence of high-frequency measurement noise. Therefore, alternatively, to the general Gaussian filter, many other filtering methods were applied in surface metrology. However, the process of selection of a vibrational noise reduction filter must be validated before any proposals. One of the main objectives of the present work is to guide the regular user on how to select an appropriate filtering method for many types of etched surface topographies measured with a contactless white light interference method considering the reduction of both high-frequency noise and its impact on the variations of surface texture parameters. From the studied filtering methods, the spline filter gave the most encouraging results.
