Principal component analysis (PCA) and independent (ICA) have been widely used for process monitoring in industry. Since the operation data of blast furnace (BF) ironmaking contain both non-Gaussian distribution Gaussian data, above single PCA or ICA method hardly describes information BF completely, which makes diagnosis abnormal working-conditions only with a prone to false positives negatives. In this article, novel integrated PCA-ICA is proposed diagnosing conditions by comprehensively...

An FPGA switch box is said to be hyper-universal if it detailed-routable for any set of multipin nets specifying a routing requirement over the box. Comparing with known "universal modules", where only 2-pin are considered, model more general and powerful. This paper studies generic problem proposes systematic designing methodology (k, W)-switch boxes, k number sides W terminals on each side. We formulate this design as k-parfite graph propose an efficient reduction technique. Applying...

A clinical target volume (CTV) to planning (PTV) margin recipes was routinely used ensure dose actually delivered for all (most) patients. Currently were associated with only translational set-up errors in radiotherapy. However, when extended six-degree (6D) scope (three and three rotational errors), recipe should be re-evaluated. The purpose of this study investigate dosimetric changes targets (both CTV PTV) coverage 6D introduced testify the practicability currently total number 105 cone...

To address the issue of low accuracy in dose distribution prediction radiotherapy, we propose a deep learning-based model for predicting three-dimensional tumor radiation therapy.

High-intensity ultrasonic vibration in narrow resonators creates various thermal effects, which has turned it recent years into a promising new technology power determination, as well diagnostic and miniaturized thermoacoustic refrigerators. As type of engine, miniature device research is still its infancy. The effects these engines are partly studied by assuming that the mean temperature machines does not change. In view aforementioned, complete calculations related to generation,...

Abstract This paper presents a novel low‐cost digital calibration scheme using Adaptive‐LMS for high‐resolution SAR ADCs. proposed is realized by perturbing adaptive analog offset and skipping several LSBs' calibration. Compared with based on conventional LMS, the design saves not only die cost but also testing (less time). During process, method requires 16,000 samples to calibrate capacitor mismatch SNDR improved from 54.1 dB 68.1 12‐bit ADC.
