A fully automated solution is required to inspect the quality of the blanks. This paper presents a vision inspection system with a CMOS camera which uses ART2 network to inspect the defects on-line to obtain the geometry and the quality of the weld seam. The neural network ART2 has the capability of self-learning fiom the environment. It can distinguish the defects that have been learned before and give new outputs for new defects. So ART2 network is suitable for weld quality inspection in laser blank welding. Additionally, a CO2 laser is used for the blank butt-welding.展开更多

In the present research, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment is proposed using Game Theory (GT) and Neural Networks (NN). Also, due to the stochastic behavior of power markets and generators’ forced outages, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for reliability evaluation. Generation reliability focuses merely on the interaction between generation complex and load. Therefore, in the research, based on the behavior of players in the market and using GT, two outcomes are considered: cooperation and non-cooperation. The proposed method is assessed on IEEE-Reliability Test System with satisfactory results. Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) is used as the reliability index and the results show generation reliability in cooperation market is better than non-cooperation outcome.展开更多
ART Ⅱ网络以模式的相似性量度值为基础,能够对动态的输入模式样本进行自适应的聚类和识别,然而标准的ART Ⅱ网络在输入数据处理过程中,忽略了样本数据中的负数信息和幅值信息,造成信号畸变和"同相位不可分"问题,在权值调整...ART Ⅱ网络以模式的相似性量度值为基础,能够对动态的输入模式样本进行自适应的聚类和识别,然而标准的ART Ⅱ网络在输入数据处理过程中,忽略了样本数据中的负数信息和幅值信息,造成信号畸变和"同相位不可分"问题,在权值调整过程中,聚类中心发生移动,容易造成"模式漂移"现象。针对上述问题结合相关文献提出了引入非线性函数对输入数据进行变换的方法解决"同相位不可分"问题,用待测数据与同一模式类中有限数据的欧氏距离与限定值进行比较实现聚类判定,抑制"模式漂移"现象。用Matlab仿真表明,改进算法性能优于标准算法。展开更多
