The nonlinear multilayer neural network architecture is analyzed as a set of coupled Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse equations, which arise from an asymptotic approximation to each unit's output equation. A linear analysis of these equations is performed through singular value decomposition (SVD) of the input matrix and a matrix of the desired hidden values. This analysis exactly determines the values of the weights and the optimal number of hidden units needed for a given set of training patterns. The outputs of the resulting neural network asymptotically approach the desired output values for each input pattern. This analysis provides an approach to determining the computational complexity of constructing nonlinear feedforward neural networks. A simple example of the XOR problem illustrates the results of the analysis.< >

Two polyimide-based capacitive humidity sensors were calibrated in Shell Diala A transformer oil and 10 cSt silicone oil at 35, 50, and 70 degrees C. The moisture content of the oils was found to be a linear function of the output voltage with the slope increasing with temperature. Thus, the sensitivity of the sensors to changes in the absolute moisture content of the oils was found to decrease with increasing temperature. For transformer oil the sensitivity changed from 30 mV/p.p.m. at 35 degrees C to 9 mV/p.p.m. at 70 degrees C; for silicone oil the sensitivity changed from 10 mV/p.p.m. at 35 degrees C to 4 mV/p.p.m. at 70 degrees C. Normalization of the absolute moisture content to the saturation level of moisture in the oil for all three calibration temperatures and both oils demonstrated that the sensors respond to the relative saturation of moisture in the oil. The saturation level of moisture in the oils was measured for the three calibration temperatures and could be expressed in Arrhenius form with an activation energy of 0.317 eV for transformer oil and 0.231 eV for silicone oil.< >

A model is developed for volume charge accumulation in recirculatory flow between a charge source and several charge relaxation regions. According to the model, large volume charge densities result if the residence time in the relaxation volumes is small compared to the oil dielectric relaxation time. Under these conditions, charge can accumulate in the oil with each pass through the flow loop, until charge leakage just balances charge generation. To stimulate the volume charge accumulation in a transformer, a flow loop experiment was developed in which transformer oil was circulated at volume flow rates of 2-20 GPM between a 55-gallon reservoir and a paper cellulose filter. The charge density entering and exiting the filter was simultaneously measured using absolute charge sensors. Bypassing the reservoir resulted in increased volume charge densities, in agreement with the model. It is concluded that charge densities can be enhanced by recirculated flow if the charge is not allowed to significantly relax before re-entering a paper filter charge source.< >

A controlled switching diffusion model is developed to study the hierarchical control of flexible manufacturing systems. The existence of a homogeneous Markov nonrandomized optimal policy is established by a convex analytic method. Using the existence of such a policy, the existence of a unique solution in a certain class to the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations is established, and the optimal policy is characterized as a minimizing selector of an appropriate Hamiltonian.< >

A variable-capacitance harmonic side-drive motor is presented and the operation of this motor and ordinary variable-capacitance side-drive motors without the need for air-levitation assist is reported. Native oxide formation on motor polysilicon surfaces, resulting from the clamping of the rotor to the shield beneath it, is identified as the cause of motor operational failure. With proper release and testing directed at minimizing this oxide formation, the motors can be readily operated. Operational characteristics of the micromotors, including the role of rotor electric shielding, speed, and frictional effects, are studied. For the side-drive motors, measurements of stopping and starting voltages indicate that the drive torque required to sustain motor operation is 5-7 pN-m, while that required to initiate motor operation after a 30 second rest is nearly twice as high.< >

TiSi2 thin films were formed on crystalline and amorphous silicon substrates obtained by Ge+ and Ge++B+ implantation and optional subsequent annealing. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity analysis revealed that the silicide formed on amorphous Si has more tendency to have a C54 structure rather than the metastable C49 structure. Also, the grain size is smaller and the silicide/silicon interface is smoother for silicides formed on amorphous Si. Comparison between implanted and unimplanted, (100) and (111) Si substrates indicated that the origin of the differences can be attributed to the latent energy stored in amorphous silicon, which favors the silicide with fine grains and promotes the transformation to the C54 phase. Non-random distribution of planar defects in C49 grains has been observed by plan-view TEM. A proposal that these defects are transformation stress induced microtwins is presented.

Kerr electrooptic field mapping measurements were made in liquid nitrogen at 70 psi and -177 degrees C. A sensitive measurement technique was used whereby a small-signal AC voltage was superimposed on a DC level. The nonlinear optical effect then gave an optical signal with a DC level and AC harmonic at the same frequency as the AC voltage. The amplitude of the AC optical signal was proportional to the local electric field and was measured with a lock-in amplifier. For 6330-nm-wavelength light the Kerr constant was measured to be B approximately=10/sup -16/ m/V/sup 2/. Steady-state electric fields between parallel stainless steel electrodes of gap 7 mm and area 31.6 cm/sup 2/ were shown to be essentially uniform for field strengths up to 90 kV/cm with no significant space charge distortion. The DC voltage-current characteristic was also measured and found to be nonohmic, reaching constant current of approximately=13 nA over the voltage range of approximately=30-60 kV.< >
