First, few variables that have high PCA weight factors are chosen as key variables. Given a total alarm frequency to these variables initially, the allowed alarm number for each variable is determined according to their sampling time and weight factors. Their alarm threshold and then control limit percentage are determined successively. The control limit percentage of non-key variables is determined with 3σ method alternatively. Second, raw data are transformed into normal distribution data with Johnson function for all variables before updating their alarm thresholds via inverse transformation of obtained control limit percentage. Alarm thresholds are optimized by iterating this process until the calculated alarm frequency reaches standard level(normally one alarm per minute). Finally,variables and their alarm thresholds are visualized in parallel coordinate to depict their variation trends concisely and clearly. Case studies on a simulated industrial atmospheric-vacuum crude distillation demonstrate that the proposed alarm threshold optimization strategy can effectively reduce false alarm rate in chemical processes.展开更多

According to the analysis of the damage field, stress field and the failure process, it explores the damage evolution, stress distribution laws and the damage models. Besides, this thesis puts forward the idea of penetrating and establishing drilling steels aimed at solving the problem of wall carving and roof fall, meanwhile this suggestion accomplishes the successful appli- cation effect in the testing ground. This thesis demonstrates that the re-exploitation of the residual coal can be carried out and the safe production can be ensured by adopting some measures. What's more, the research result provides the theoretical and practical experience for the re-exploitation of the residual coal in the similar conditions.展开更多

However, the former can behave quite differently from the latter. To understand the differences, it is necessary to study the run length distribution (RLD), its mean (ARL) and standard deviation (SDRL) of the X charts when the control limits are estimated. However, ARL and SDRL are integrals over an infinite region with a boundless integrand, the finiteness has not been proved in literature. In this paper, we show the finiteness and uniform integrability of ARL and SDRL. Furthermore, we numerically evaluate the ARL, SDRL and the RLD using number theory method. A numerical study is conducted to assess the performance of the proposed method and the results are compared with those given by Quesenberry and Chen.展开更多
