Ion Mill Etching (IME) is an advanced process technology that uses ion-beam sources to remove materials by atomic sandblasting in order to reveal a specific pattern on the substrate. The high precision capability requires stringent process monitoring and control of the flowcool system which is critical to prevent thermal deformation for temperature sensitive materials from the heat generated from the ion beam irradiation. This study focuses on a multi-sensor data analytics to monitoring the IME process condition enabling diagnostics and prediction of three main failure mechanisms of the IME flowcool system. A generalizable framework of engineering-based data-driven failure diagnostics and prediction is developed using random forest-based classification and a Deep Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based failure prediction. The proposed framework and methods are demonstrated and validated in an ion mill etching process using multi-sensor data collected from multiple run-to failure cycles. Three different failure modes related to the flowcool system are detected, identified in real time and the time to the next failure is accurately predicted. The proposed method provides a systematic and generalizable approach for process monitoring and early prediction of failures by using heterogeneous sensor measurements and operational data when under various operating conditions and settings.

Network diagnostics is a time-consuming activity that requires an administrator with good knowledge of network principles and technologies. Even if some network errors have been resolved in the past, the administrator must spend considerable time removing these errors when they reoccur. This article presents an automated tool to learn the expected behavior of network protocols and possible variations. The created model can be used to automate the diagnostic process. The model presents a finite automaton containing protocol behavior for different situations. diagnostics of unknown communication is performed by checking the created model and searching for error states and their descriptions. We have also created a proof-of-concept tool that demonstrates the practical potential of this approach.

Providing of insight into an approach to creation of information human-operator decision support systems (IHODSS) for complex process plants as exemplified by nuclear power unit control. IHODSS functional basis is determined by accomplishing the following tasks essentially forming a triune task: prediction of power unit parameters behavior and process progress aspects, in-mode diagnostics, and early in-process recognition of anomalies; generation of recommendations on optimal process conditions. An overview of basic principles of development and function of IHODSS, software and hardware selection, as well as characterization of software and hardware suite for IHODSS tasks refinement are presented..

The authors have developed a new method of diagnostics of cable conductivity elements (CE), which helps determine the type and location of their defect. This method relies on a physical phenomenon never used in the non-destructive testing systems before. It consists in polarizing the spin magnetic moments of free electrons in conductive structures when exposed to an external elec-tric field. This process is recorded by an induction sensor, which generates a measuring pilot signal in the form of the induction EMF, the parameters of which are determined based on the cable CE parameters in the area of this sensor location. A diagnostics is carried out through comparing the re-ceived signal with a reference signal obtained in advance in a similar way. In this case, the process of the reference signal generation depends on the control objectives that were set. When it is only necessary to confirm the cable CE defect and identify its type without specifying its parameters, the reference signal is obtained using a standard cable section without defects. When a categorization of the revealed defects is required along with their specific parameters determination, it is necessary to create a reference signal database acquired based upon measurements in the cable samples with in-tentionally planted set defects.

With the development of science and technology, the manufacturing technology of computer numerical control (CNC) has been one of the irreplaceable important technologies in the manufacturing industry. However, due to the lack of sufficient data, the existing evaluation methods cannot accurately evaluate the operational state of CNC machine tools, and an effective maintenance scheduling strategy cannot be proposed. Aiming at the lack of monitoring data and the unclear understanding of the degradation mechanism of CNC machine tools, an operational state evaluation and maintenance decision-making method of multi-state CNC machine tools based on partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) was proposed. On the one hand, considering the imperfect operational information of CNC machine tools and the influence of different maintenance activities on the degradation process of NC machine tools, a dynamic evaluation model for the operational state was constructed. On the other hand, a maintenance decision model for CNC machine tools was established with the goal of minimizing the total cost of losses (including maintenance costs and potential failures costs). The proposed method is applied to CNC machine tools of cylinder to verify the effectiveness and advancement of the method.
In this paper, a dependent competing risk model for a system with two-type failures is studied. Most scholars in present research consider that every shock can cause damage on the degradation process, however, because...

The main result of the work of all participants in the transportation process in the railway transport is the delivery of cargo and passengers in a timely manner and ensuring traffic safety. Achieving this result is impossible without constant monitoring of the state of the transportation infrastructure and, first of all, without monitoring the condition of the track, which is especially important when high-speed rolling stock is moving, when a track failure can lead to disruption of passenger comfort and premature wear of expensive elements of electric trains. The most promising solution for ensuring the continuity of monitoring the state of the track is the introduction of track irregularities monitoring systems that are integrated into the high-speed rolling stock circulating on the network. Such solutions, in addition to the existing technologies for monitoring the state of mobile track measuring devices, will allow to identify sections of the track with an unacceptable condition more quickly. This article discusses the issue of developing a technology for monitoring the values of horizontal and vertical irregularities of the track based on micromechanical acceleration sensors installed on the axleboxes of the rolling stock, as an integral part of the on-board automatic system for prescriptive diagnostics of the technical condition of high-speed electric trains.

Dynamically developing technologies in the modern world impose their requirements on digital and analog devices and devices used in various industries such as aviation, space, medical, etc. The advantage is mainly given to the devices with a high degree of automation and not requiring control operations performed by man in the process of their work. One of the most important tasks is the design of robotic systems. The authors propose a control system for a bionic robotic arm based on the neural network control. Neural network control is a special case of intelligent control that uses artificial neural networks to solve problems of controlling dynamic objects. This approach will ensure high speed and accuracy of application.
