Based on the attractive features of both distributed artificial intelligence and existing load forecasting techniques, a distributed problem solving system for short-term load forecasting is proposed. Such a distributed paradigm is a multi-agent system, each processing agent of which can compute autonomously and cooperate with other agents to reason an accurate and satisfactory solution for load forecasting. The designed load forecasting system solves problems using three basic modules: a blackboard module, knowledge sources, and a control mechanism. In addition, to achieve a high degree of accuracy in load forecasting, the existing techniques are embedded in the domain knowledge source and the root mean square error is referred to as the key driven by the constraint knowledge source. This system has been implemented by the expert system tool CLIPS in a SUN network environment and tested with practical data. It was found that the developed distributed system is a valuable tool for system operators for short-term load forecasting.

This paper presents algebraic rank conditions for the complete controllability of the system x(t) = A(t)x(t) + Bu(t) = Σ m i=1 a i (t)A i x(t) + Bu(t). x R x , u R l . Assuming A(.) is locally integrable on R, the fundamental solution of x(t) = A(t)x(t) is explicity calculated in terms of functions a i (t) for t [0,T] by using Lie algebra theory. Then by using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, two diffierent time invariant controllability matrices are derived. Conditions for complete controllability of the above systems are derived in terms of the rank of these matrices.

As technology advances and our dependency on software increases, the requirement to develop the correct means to improve quality in both the deveiopment phase and the maintenance phase of software life cycle support becomes increasingly significant. The focus of this paper is on the dilemma facing software engineering in maintaining quality within the constraints of the maintenance phase. The paper further proposes that the software maintenance process can also be analvzed and improved using statistical process control (SPC) techniques. The methods discussed in this paper have been proposed for use in the Software Maintenance project at NUWC Detachment Norfolk. Upon successful testing at NUWC Detachment Norfolk, they will be forwarded to the AN/SQQ-89(V) (interagencv) Software Quality Evaluation Committee for use by other agencies which are developing and maintaining AN/SQQ-89(V) software.

Accuracy requirements are usually determined as a percentage of the specification range of the measured part or process. Setting accuracy requirements in this manner results in a wide and unpredictable range of false rejection and acceptance probabilities. This causes extra costs due to either: 1) over specification of measurement systems accuracy requirements;2) time, effort, retesting, and resolution of false rejections;or 3) system degradation caused by false acceptance of out-of-specification parts. Achieving a consistent and known risk of false acceptance is only possible by considering the measured process C(pk), the process's mean in relation to the center of the specification range, and the measurement system error distribution. This paper presents a method for calculating the probabilities of false rejection and false acceptance for a normal process which is measured with, alternately, uniform and normally distributed error. It is shown that under most conditions uniform error causes 20% to 30% higher false rejection and acceptance probabilities. Thus, knowledge of measurement error distribution could provide lower total production cost.

This paper discusses the input-dependent stability observed during torque control experiments using the first joint of the Darmstadt-HAND. Friction and compliance existing in tendon-sheath drive systems introduce a hysteresis nonlinearity between the joint torque output and the actuator displacement. Although this transmission characteristic is close to the well-known backlash behavior of the gears situated between a motor and a load shaft, this hysteresis loop exhibits input-dependent characteristics in the backlash region of the transmission system. The observed input-dependent characteristic shows springlike behavior within a portion of the backlash region. Through precise experiments, we confirmed that there is a close relationships between the input-dependent backlash characteristics and the input-dependent stability. Based on these experiments, we describe the transmission characteristic using a simple model and explore the system stability by using the technique of the sinusoidal-input-describing-functions (SIDF). Finally, we show a nondimensional stability-criterion-map that successfully predicts the experimental results.

The characteristics between a set of alternating-polarity ring magnets and a superconductor are studied. The magnets have strong repulsion and attraction forces with the superconductor owing to the pinning effect. Using these characteristics a prototype of a superconducting journal bearing with a magnet shaft supported by a cylindrical housing has been developed. The superconducting journal bearing consists of a superconducting housing with four high T(c) superconductors (type-II superconductors) and a magnet shaft as the rotor of alternating-polarity ring magnets of the same size. The magnet shaft can be levitated in the centre of the housing without contact. Levitation and drag forces of the superconducting journal bearing are investigated. The levitation force shows circular hysteresis loops depending on the displacement because of the flux pinning effect. Owing to the simple and useful structure of the superconducting journal bearing it is applicable to practical devices in the industrial field.

Design of a diagnostic technique used in an intelligent support system for artificial heart control is presented. Parameters which may cause abnormal variables of the recipient of artificial hearts are searched with the use of a large dynamic model Human. The advantage of this technique is that candidates of abnormal parameters can be pointed out avoiding real-time parameter estimation whose results would be unreliable for the large scale model.
