In this paper we investigate the user-perceived availability and Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of M-for-N shared protection systems with a finite number of repairers. We assume that there are M backup units, N mutually independent users' (working) units, and C repairers (1 les Cles M + N)We investigate a Markov-chain model (with failure rate lambda per unit, repair rate mu per repairer) that is subject to an FCFS (First Come, First Served) protection switching and FCFS unit re-housing discipline. When a working unit fails, the service for the user of the unit is protected by one of the M protection units if available. If the service is not protected, the user enters a queue waiting for the service restoration. On the other hand, a failed unit immediately enters another queue waiting for repairs. Namely, there are two kinds of queues in the system. An analysis based on state transition diagrams gives a closed-form solution of the user-perceived availability and a recurrence computation method of the use-perceived MTTF. Our numerical examples reveal the effects of the number of repairers.

Color chromosome classification (karyotyping) allows simultaneous analysis of numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities. The success of the technique largely depends on the accuracy of pixel classification. In this paper we present a method for multichannel chromosome image classification based on support vector machines. First, the image is segmented using a multichannel watershed segmentation method. Classification of the pixels of the segmented regions using support vector machines is then employed. The method has been tested on images from normal cells, showing the improvement in classification accuracy by 10.16% when compared to a Bayesian classifier. The increased classification improves the reliability of the M-FISH imaging technique in identifying subtle and cryptic chromosomal abnormalities for cancer diagnosis and genetic disorders research.

This paper describes about an automated microscopic imaging system for supporting asbestos qualitative analysis. By JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), the dispersion staining method is designated as a visual qualitative analysis for asbestos in the construction materials. In the analysis process using the microscope, the expert monitors the particles including asbestos fibers and count them. For supporting such observation process, we developed an automated microscopic image collecting system. It realizes to take the images of the target area and store them to the database automatically. In this paper, we introduce and report the prototype system and its performance.

We report about fault diagnosis experiments to improve the maintenance quality of motor pumps installed on oil rigs. We rely on the data-driven approach to the learning of the fault classes, i.e. supervised learning in pattern recognition. Features are extracted from the vibration signals to detect and diagnose misalignment and mechanical looseness problems. We show the results of automatic pattern recognition methods to define and select features that describe the faults of the provided examples. The support vector machine is chosen as the classification architecture.

To implement precision deployment of mobile sensor network in an unknown environment, a virtual force based precision self-deployment algorithm (VFPSA) is proposed. By introducing the concept of "attracting force line" and constructing virtual attracting force between attracting force lines and repulsive force among nodes, the paths between sinks and targets are created automatically. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm, when compared to similar methods, provides a short average moving distance with a short maximum moving distance and limited convergence time.

In this work we describe a system for the monitoring and management of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on Parkinson's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The system exploits a single wearable sensors' setting to detect and quantify all patient symptoms. An easy to use touchscreen interface allows patients and caregivers to provide additional useful information and assist patients to perform standard predefined tests which otherwise are performed in the clinician's office. The system exploits patient information to suggest appropriate treatment changes based on accumulated medical knowledge. In this paper the architecture of the system, as well as, its innovative features are presented.

We present a collection of pattern recognition techniques applied to fault detection and diagnosis of motor pumps. Vibrational patterns are the basis for describing the condition of the process. We rely on the data-driven approach to the learning of the fault classes, i.e. supervised learning in pattern recognition. Our work is motivated by the diversity of the studied defects, the availability of real data from operational oil rigs, and the use of statistical pattern recognition techniques usually not explored sufficiently in similar works. We show the results of automatic methods to define, select and combine features that describe the process and to classify the faults on the provided examples. The support vector machine is chosen as the classification architecture.

In the current work, a system for the monitoring, assessment and management of patients with chronic movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) is presented. The so called PERFORM system consists of the patient and the healthcare center subsystem. PERFORM monitors patient's motion status in daily activities, using a set of light wearable sensors. Based on the analysis of the acquired signals, PERFORM assesses PD symptoms and their severity, integrates patient's demographic, clinical and history data and proposes treatment plans based on advanced data mining algorithms. In this work we present two main modules of PERFORM system, the tremor assessment module and the data miner module.
