An Embedding Selection Algorithm For Chaotic Dynamical Systems, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio Dec 1992

An Embedding Selection Algorithm For Chaotic Dynamical Systems, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The selection of an embedding scheme is an important step in the modeling and prediction of chaotic dynamical systems. Theoretical work in embedding selection abounds in the literature. However in neural network research, mostly compute intensive methods for embedding selection exist. In this paper, we propose a novel embedding selection scheme based on cluster analysis. A neural network implementing this method is described and demonstrated on the Mackey- Glass chaotic time series. The result of the method agrees with the embedding schemes used by researchers in neural networks. In addition, other new embedding schemes have been Found and they also …


The Impact Of Adjustable Speed Drive Heat Pumps On Distribution Transformers, Kevin G. Karagory Dec 1992

The Impact Of Adjustable Speed Drive Heat Pumps On Distribution Transformers, Kevin G. Karagory

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Electric utilities, by encouraging the use of high efficiency heat pumps, have increased the amount of power electronics in the residential sector. This report examines the impact that an adjustable speed drive heat pump has on the electric distribution transformer. Using a PSpice model of the components and ANSIDEEE Recommended Standard C57.1 10-1986, the transformer capability to supply a nonsinusoidal load current to the residence is established.


Investigation Of Sidewall Defects In Selective Epitaxial Growth (Seg) Of Silic0n:Applications To Novel 3-Dimensional Devices, Rashid Bashir Dec 1992

Investigation Of Sidewall Defects In Selective Epitaxial Growth (Seg) Of Silic0n:Applications To Novel 3-Dimensional Devices, Rashid Bashir

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The objective of this work is to study the defects of the SEG/insulator sidewall interface as applied to the novel 3-dimensional structures. The defects were characterized through electrical measurements of a p+/n diode and transmission electron microscopy. Different mechanisms have been postulated to be responsible for these defects. These include thermal stress induced defects, defect nucleation close to the sidewall, and defects at the interface due to weak bonding. The simple structure of the diocie allowed the design of many experiments in order to study the dependence of the sidewall defects on process conditions and other parameters and to identify …


Feature Subset Select Ion And Financial Predict Ion Tasks, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio Dec 1992

Feature Subset Select Ion And Financial Predict Ion Tasks, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

One major problem in applying neural networks to financial applications is the large number of features involved. The feature set is large because we simply do not know which of the given features may be useful to the system and include rather than risk throwing away a potentially useful one. In practice, training with the full set of features usually introduces unnecessary complexity and often degraded prediction performance. An important contribution of this paper is to focus the attention of neural network researchers on the need for a systematic feature preprocessing methodology for the purpose of improving predictability. The approach …

Oxidative Mechanisms In Arterial Distension Injury: Observations Relevant To Restenosis After Angioplasty, Charles F. Babbs, Yuan Zhong Nov 1992

Oxidative Mechanisms In Arterial Distension Injury: Observations Relevant To Restenosis After Angioplasty, Charles F. Babbs, Yuan Zhong

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Background: To explore the hypothesis that tissue iron and reactive oxygen species, including superoxide (O2), mediate acute inflammatory and late hyperplastic responses to vascular injury, we studied experimental overdistension of normal carotid and femoral arteries in dogs. Experimental design: Arterial segments isolated in situ were distended with Ringer solution at 2 atmospheres pressure. In initial experiments the arteries were excised immediately after distension and immersed in diaminobenzidine solutions containing Mn++ ions to initiate histochemical reactions for O2. In other experiments distended arterial segments were reperfused with arterial blood in the presence or absence of the iron chelator, deferoxamine, or the …

Experimental Design Of A Low Noise Centrifugal Fan, J Stuart Bolton, Peter Konieczny Sep 1992

Experimental Design Of A Low Noise Centrifugal Fan, J Stuart Bolton, Peter Konieczny

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

The effect of various design parameters on broadband noise generation by centrifugal fans has been studied. The parameters varied included: blade type, radial and axial inlet clearance, scroll development angle, scroll development length and cutoff clearance. Scaling laws for pressure, flow and noise were applied to allow the A-weighted sound power levels of different fans to be compared at the same operating points. That approach has allowed an optimum low noise fan design to be identified. To extend the usefulness of that design, a semi-empirical procedure for predicting the broadband sound power spectrum of any member of a family of …

A Decision Boundary Method For Embedding Selection, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio Aug 1992

A Decision Boundary Method For Embedding Selection, W. Hsu, L. S. Hsu, M. F. Tenorio

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Previously, we have presented a method for embedding selection based on cluster analysis. In this paper, we described an embedding selection method based on a feature reduction transformation matrix. This method extracts features that are important for maintaining decision boundaries in the supervised clusters. Experimentally, we demonstrate that our method allow accurate prediction of the Mackay-Glass chaotic time series. Three important properties of the feature reduction transformation are proved in this paper.
