In this paper, we propose new tricks based on quantum physics. Our tricks are methods inspired by the strategies of quantum game theory. In these tricks, magicians have the ability of quantum physics, but spectators have only classical one. We propose quantum tricks such that, by manipulating quantum coins and quantum cards, magicians guess spectators’ values.展开更多

Ho...Kernel independent component analysis(KICA) is a newly emerging nonlinear process monitoring method,which can extract mutually independent latent variables called independent components(ICs) from process variables. However, when more than one IC have Gaussian distribution, it cannot extract the IC feature effectively and thus its monitoring performance will be degraded drastically. To solve such a problem, a kernel time structure independent component analysis(KTSICA) method is proposed for monitoring nonlinear process in this paper. The original process data are mapped into a feature space nonlinearly and then the whitened data are calculated in the feature space by the kernel trick. Subsequently, a time structure independent component analysis algorithm, which has no requirement for the distribution of ICs, is proposed to extract the IC feature.Finally, two monitoring statistics are built to detect process faults. When some fault is detected, a nonlinear fault identification method is developed to identify fault variables based on sensitivity analysis. The proposed monitoring method is applied in the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process. Applications demonstrate the superiority of KTSICA over KICA.展开更多
