We propose an optimization method obtained by the approximation of a novel discretization approach for gradient dynamics recently proposed by the authors. It is shown that the proposed algorithm ensures convergence for all amplitudes of the step size, contrarily to classical implementations.

This paper addresses the issue of optimal design of the decoder in fault-tolerant RAMs with Single Error Correcting and Double Error Detecting facilities (SECDED). If for the encoding logic it is recommended to generate each control bit independently (a classic implementation), for the decoding logic the authors recommend a simpler synthesis, in order to reduce the complexity as much as possible. This is explained by the fact that the decoding logic no longer has any fault tolerance facilities. Since the decoder is implemented as a network of XOR logic gates, the problem we address is to find the simplest structure using 2-input or 3-input XOR gates as base cells. To this end, a search algorithm has been implemented to identify in the parity-check matrix common sets of bits that can be used to generate multiple error control bits. The efficiency of the solution we propose, in terms of complexity, is demonstrated by comparison with the classic one in which the error bits are generated independently.

In this paper an original adaptive method for maximizing the energy transferred to the car's battery during regenerative braking is presented. The paper is based on a simulation in Proteus LabCenter, using a battery model, based on functional criteria, with the energy recovered from a reversible motor. The battery management algorithm was implemented on ATMEGA 328 microcontroller, and a MC34063 DC-to-DC converter control circuit. The voltage variations of reversible motor, recovered during braking are simulated with a variable voltage applied on the system input and the results show that the output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter must be continuously adjusted during the braking process. The efficiency lies in the fact that although the braking sequences do not take place for long periods, they are made at currents recovered from magnetic induction of considerable values.

In relation to an ever changing epidemiological world context, a category of people that is more subject to be impacted consists of the elderly. Certain steps can be taken in order to improve their quality of life especially in case of illness. One way of achieving this is to have a smart assistive living environment, which includes home automation and medical monitoring. The proposed system expands on an IoT solution for assisted living and introduces a highly flexible rules engine for processing physiological and domotics data obtained from the home environment, and for interacting with the system actuators. As proof-of-concept, there are several use-cases that are discussed depending on the type of patient: diabetic, cardiac, hypertensive, obese, COVID or Alzheimer. These scenarios emphasize the efficiency of the proposed solution and offer an insight on the high degree of abstraction and extensibility of the system.

The major part of the execution time of distributed algorithms is required for the communication between agents. This paper approaches a reduction of the communication effort by reducing the number of edges in the considered graph. This is achieved by partitioning the graph and formulating a super graph. At first, the computational and communication effort is evaluated on an abstract level independent of the distributed algorithm, before the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is applied to a system of coupled water tanks. This allows to outline the trade-off between computation and communication time and to evaluate an optimal number of partitions that minimizes the execution time. The influence of the partitioning on the convergence behavior of the distributed algorithm is studied and compared with the concept of neighbor approximation.

This paper deals with the fault detection of centrifugal pumps, based on measured radial vibrations. The detection method compares the vibration signature of the equipment during normal behavior with the current recorded vibration signal. It raises an alarm if a distance function of the resulted residuum exceeds a predefined threshold. The normal signature and the threshold are learned through a machine learning procedure, based on autoencoding neural networks (NN). Two versions of NNs are trained and evaluated. The detection method proved to be reliable in an industrial application, even when using a single low-cost accelerometer for vibration sensing.

Diagnosis of breast cancer from ultrasound images (USIs) and images processing are two main stages of medical computing field. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Layer Feed Forward Neural Network (MLFNN) for classification of benign and malignant breast tumors by using a Python based implementation. The neural model is trained using the preprocessed regions of interests (ROIs) from USIs that belong to the Breast Ultrasound Dataset (BUSI dataset). The preprocessing procedure includes extracting the ROIs, resizing, normalizing, and flattening. The ROIs are obtained with our own algorithm that overlaps the original image with its corresponding ground truth image. More images and tumor shapes employed in the training stage of the neural network can lead to better prediction performances. In this study, the binary classification of tumors into benignancy or malignancy gives 99% training accuracy, 86% validation accuracy and 71.43% test accuracy.

Monitoring water consumption has multiple benefits nowadays. Big data collected from the sensors provide a consistent basis for the decision-making processes in terms of establishing the indices and criteria needed to optimize the water demand. In this study, the data provided by four distinct water consumption outlets (hot/cold water sink, toilet, and shower) from multiple households were analyzed. A clustering analysis revealed a visual overview of the consumption events from each outlet. Then, classification methods were used to predict the source of water consumption events using four algorithms based on machine learning and deep learning. The proposed methods and results are promising towards the development of a decision support system for streamlining water consumption in urban water distribution systems.

An integrated deep learning - economic model predictive control (EMPC) framework for large scale processes is presented. The framework is successfully implemented to a realistic fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) - fractionator process. Scenarios under the effect of no disturbances (nominal) and with disturbances are simulated demonstrating fast computation (potentially allowing industrial implementation) and improved performance (taking into account process nonlinear behavior, enhancing the process operating profit).
