Feature design and selection is one of the first steps towards successful fault detection and diagnosis. Data from different sources can contain complimentary information about a monitored system. Hence methods which fuse features from multiple sources can often detect and diagnose a greater number of fault modes with higher confidence. However, solutions that require data from multiple sensors as inputs can be susceptible to failure if one or more of those sensors cease to function. Optimally a solution will fuse data from a sufficient number of sensors so that the advantages of sensor fusion are realized, while the robustness of the system is retained. In this paper the authors investigate how the best subset of features might differ for fault detection and fault severity diagnosis in a multiphase flow facility case study. ReliefF, which is a K-nearest neighbors-based feature selection filter, is used to rank the features for different problems. The dataset used for the analysis contains data from various operating conditions and induced faults with various severities. It was found that the optimal subset of features varied for different monitoring problems. It was also shown that including features that are ranked as being uninformative into a fault classifier can also impact the robustness of the classifier to sensor failures.

Installing smart meters to publish real-time electricity rates has been controversial while it might lead to privacy concerns. Dispatched rates include fine-grained data on aggregate electricity consumption in a zone and could potentially be used to infer a household's pattern of energy use or its occupancy. In this paper, we propose Blowfish privacy to protect the occupancy state of the houses connected to a smart grid. First, we introduce a Markov model of the relationship between electricity rate and electricity consumption. Next, we develop an algorithm that perturbs electricity rates before publishing them to ensure users' privacy. Last, the proposed algorithm is tested on data inspired by household occupancy models and its performance is compared to an alternative solution.

This paper presents a method for the automatic identification and classification of red cells in different classes of interest for diagnosis using microscopic images of blood smear. The whole system uses different image processing techniques such as binarization, contrast enhancement, noise elimination, morphological operations (dilatation, erosion), labeling and extraction of some features of interest (area, perimeter, diameter). Using this information, some factors (form factor, circularity factor, and deviation factor) involved in the classification of red cells are calculated. The classification process has two phases: the first separates red cells in normal and abnormal type and the second classifies the abnormal in three subclasses. This system does not aim to replace the pathologist, but to assist him / her and to improve the execution time of these types of analyzes.

Packet loss is one of the main reasons of deterioration of real-time multimedia transmissions in today's Internet. This deterioration is especially severe, when several losses occur in a row, one after another. In this paper, it is shown how an application of the active queue management, based on the dropping function, may prevent losses from grouping together. A realistic model for the TCP traffic, incorporating the batch arrivals, is used, with several different shapes of dropping functions.

This paper presents the part of automation process of Forced Swim Test (FST). In the test a mouse behavior should be determined. In the automated process the mouse behavior is usually estimated with use of computer vision. Image processing algorithms are used to determine features that can determine mouse behavior. In this paper a common features are identified from a literature search. Those methods are presented and validated whether they can be used to create a classifier. The mouse position, speed and the sum of different pixels are compared to test outcome.
