This is because X-ray procedures are simple and relatively inexpensive, as compared to other imaging modalities such as MRI. However X-ray films are noisy and difficult to read even for the experienced radiologists and physicians. Hence it is necessary to develop suitable processing techniques in order to help physicians and radiologists for diagnosis of disease. In this paper we propose an algorithm for enhancement of chest X-ray images of TB patients for better diagnosis of the disease.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The moving condition in a solenoid based spherical system has been identified to be critical. In this system a mover is a flexible electromechanical moving joint (FEMJ). The FEMJ is moved with its weight while operating. This inconsistency can be overcome by reduction of the weight of the mover(s) and improving the force-to-weight ratio of the moving members. This paper presents the methodology for controlling the position of the mover(s) for analysis of propulsion force of solenoid-based force-producers used in a spherical system by which the optimum position of the mover can be identified without remodeling the design for various steps.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The prohibited operating zones of a unit result in the ED problem becoming a nonconvex optimization problem; consequently there are many local minima embedded in the problem. By employing the proposed Hopfield model, one can find out the global or near global minimum for the nonconvex problem mentioned above. An energy function is defined in the proposed model. The model solution moves in the direction of decreasing energy and finally reaches an optimal point with minimum energy. Application of the proposed approach is demonstrated using a 15-unit system with 4 units having prohibited zones. In the solving process, the dispatching generation level of each unit gradually changes according to its incremental cost and runs toward the optimal value obeying the equal-incremental-cost criterion. From the results of the sample-system study, the proposed method shows its ability of solving economic dispatch considering units having prohibited operating zones.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.
