Intelligent Fault-Prediction Assisted Self-Healing for Embryonic Hardware.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
This paper proposes novel methods for making embryonic bio-inspired hardware efficient against faults through self-healing, fault prediction, and fault-prediction assisted self-healing. The proposed self-healing recovers a faulty embryonic cell throu...

Advanced Data Analytics for Clinical Research Part II: Application to Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
In the first part of this series, we introduced the tools of Big Data, including Not Only Standard Query Language data warehouse, natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR), and Internet of Things (IoT). There are nuances ...

Advantages of aquatic animals as models for bio-inspired drones over present AUV technology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic systems are becoming more ubiquitous, whether on land, in the air, or in water. In the aquatic realm, aquatic drones including ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) have opened new opportunities to invest...

A hybrid fault diagnosis methodology with support vector machine and improved particle swarm optimization for nuclear power plants.

ISA transactions
The safety and public health during nuclear power plant operation can be enhanced by accurately recognizing and diagnosing potential problems when a malfunction occurs. However, there are still obvious technological gaps in fault diagnosis applicatio...

New principle of busbar protection based on a fundamental frequency polarity comparison.

PloS one
To overcome the contradiction between speed and reliability in existing busbar protection schemes, a new busbar protection algorithm based on a polarity comparison of fundamental frequency currents is proposed. The algorithm extracts the fundamental ...

Using a Support Vector Machine Based Decision Stage to Improve the Fault Diagnosis on Gearboxes.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Gearboxes are mechanical devices that play an essential role in several applications, e.g., the transmission of automotive vehicles. Their malfunctioning may result in economic losses and accidents, among others. The rise of powerful graphical proces...

Towards the development of robot immune system: A combined approach involving innate immune cells and T-lymphocytes.

Bio Systems
Mobile robots in uncertain and unstructuredenvironments frequently encounter faults. Therefore, an effective fault detection and recovery mechanism is required. One can possibly investigate natural systems to seek inspiration to develop systems that ...

An improved wrapper-based feature selection method for machinery fault diagnosis.

PloS one
A major issue of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration signals is that it is over-reliant on personnel knowledge and experience in interpreting the signal. Thus, machine learning has been adapted for machinery fault diagnosis. The quantity and qu...

Assessment of pose repeatability and specimen repositioning of a robotic joint testing platform.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper describes the quantitative assessment of a robotic testing platform, consisting of an industrial robot and a universal force-moment sensor, via the design of fixtures used to hold the tibia and femur of cadaveric knees. This platform was u...

Scalable Device for Automated Microbial Electroporation in a Digital Microfluidic Platform.

ACS synthetic biology
Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) digital microfluidic laboratory-on-a-chip platforms demonstrate excellent performance in automating labor-intensive protocols. When coupled with an on-chip electroporation capability, these systems hold promise for ...
