A least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter with a variable step size is introduced. The increases or decreases as the mean-square error decreases, allowing to track changes in system well produce small steady state error. convergence and steady-state behavior of algorithm are analyzed. results reduce well-known when specialized constant-step-size case.

A state-based approach for online passive fault diagnosis in systems modeled as finite-state automata is presented. In this framework, the system and diagnoser (the detection system) do not have to be initialized at same time. Furthermore, no information about state or even condition (failure status) of before initiation required. The design system, worst case, has exponential complexity. model reduction scheme with polynomial time complexity introduced reduce computational design....
Although cells firing at tremor frequency, called “tremor cells” (Guiot et al., 1962), have often been recorded in the thalamus of parkinsonian patients, extent correlation between these spike trains and has rarely assessed quantitatively.

A framework is introduced for fault diagnosis in timed discrete-event systems. In this approach, the required estimates system condition are updated only when output changes or deadlines associated with expire. Thus updates at every clock tick not required. This many cases results reduction online computing requirements and size of system, expense more offline design calculations. The issue failure diagnosability also discussed.
The deployment of control systems with network-connected components nowadays has made feedback vulnerable to attacks over the network.

It extends the previous work of authors (1999) on a state-based approach to by incorporating timing information. This enhances accuracy diagnosis. In this methodology instead directly extending existing TDES, an alternative taken which, many cases, leads significant reduction computing requirements and size diagnoser at expense more off-line design calculations.
