Fuzzy c-means method (FCM) is a popular tool for a fuzzy data processing. In the current study, a FCM-based method of fuzzy clustering in a kernel space has been implemented. First, a "kernel trick" is applied to the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Then, the new method is employed for a fast automated segmentation of demyelination plaques in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The clusters in a Gaussian kernel space are analysed in the histogram context and used during the initial classification of the brain tissue. Received classification masks are then used to detect the region of interest, eliminate false positives and label MS lesions.

An attempt to connect finite automata theory with multi-agent systems is presented. The purpose is to obtain an accurate way to plan and control the robot activities within a multi-robot system. The proposed model is an adapted Moore machine, which is to be used with a contract net protocol agent coordination procedure. The considered architecture was tested in an educational flexible manufacturing system with two industrial robots.

The application of power quality parameters measurement algorithms requires utilization of computational methods which transform the signal from the time- to the frequency-domain. Currently, the most frequently applied method is the fast Fourier transformation (FFT). Because of the amendment of the proper power quality standards, it is also necessary to consider of implementation discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) algorithms. Considering the number of computations, DFT is more complicated than FFT. This paper presents basic analog-to-digital conversion parameters, which are defined in the norms, the time duration analysis of DFT algorithms, considering described assumptions and comparing them to FFT. Codes created in C and assembler languages, as well as the Matlab/Simulink environment, were taken into account. The software including the aforementioned codes was implemented in a low-cost power quality measurement system based on the TMS320c6713 floating point DSP processor from Texas Instruments. In the software, a real time DSP/BIOS operation system was used. Multi thread programming in power quality measurement systems was presented, and an analysis of computational efficiencies of the systems based on the TMS320c6 713 DSP processors was performed.

Solution techniques for Markov decision problems rely on exact knowledge of the transition rates, which may be difficult or impossible to obtain. In this paper, we consider Markov decision problems with uncertain transition rates represented as compact sets. We first consider the problem of sensitivity analysis where the aim is to quantify the range of uncertainty of the average per-unit-time reward given the range of uncertainty of the transition rates. We then develop solution techniques for the problem of obtaining the max-min optimal policy, which maximizes the worst-case average per-unit-time reward. In each of these problems, we distinguish between systems that can have their transition rates chosen independently and those where the transition rates depend on each other. Our solution techniques are applicable to Markov decision processes with fixed but unknown transition rates and to those with time-varying transition rates.

Enterprise control applications are becoming more and more complex, exploiting distributed object technology in multi-tier architectures. For educational purposes, the development of a manufacturing control laboratory that may emphasize the new control techniques and the overall integration of the system activities is a complex and challenging task. In the paper, an enterprise application solution that integrates the ERP concept in three-tier architecture with a Flexible Manufacturing System is presented. It contains modularized, distributed subsystems in configurable and maintainable software. Starting from the customer order, to planned order dispatch, the ERP main components and the information flow within the system is presented. The software architecture contains the ERP components that are implemented using Enterprise Java Beans, deployed in a J2EE application server. It enables transactions with the business environment, shop-floor system and the database. The application is conceptually designed and analyzed using a visual model developed in Unified Modeling Language.

This article presents an analysis of how pulses in the long two-conductor coupled lines with conductor screened interact mutually. The interaction of pulses appears in those places of the line, where there is a change of wave impedance causing a change in reflection coefficient for pulses moving along the line. An exemplary analysis is performed for a homogenous lossless line at its starting and terminal points. The results of analysis are analytical expressions describing quantitative interactions of pulses. The expressions are verified both by computer simulation and by measurements of the real line. There has been performed the analysis of influence of the resistances with which the terminal points of the line are loaded onto the amplitude value of the pulses registered at the starting point of the line. The new method and the new system of measurements of pulses have been proposed that minimize the interaction of pulses at the starting point of the line, disadvantageous for the process of fault location by using pulse method.

The paper presents regulation characteristics that fulfill the requirements of highest possible efficiency and strongly reduced torque ripple level. For switched reluctance motors it is not so simple and obvious, because the regulation characteristics depend on three variables: phase voltage, switch-on and switch-off angles. For this reason in a steady state the same operation point (Tl, ω) of the mechanical characteristic is attainable for quite different values of those control parameters. So there is a field for quasi-optimal operation and the choice of the coresponding control parameters is the main subject of this work. The paper presents also the method to determine these quasi-optimal control characteristics from simple tests or from computations based on presented simple mathematical model.

The present paper considers the problem of digital hazards that are present in combinatorial logic structures. My work is focused not on eliminating these hazards but on how to avoid and eventually use this unwanted feature when we are designing a digital automaton. The idea is to theoretically trace the output of the circuit implementing the next state functions of the automaton, determine the time frames when these outputs are logically correct and use those specific moments of time to provoke the automaton's evolution towards the next correct state (according to the automaton's states transitions graph). By doing so we shall drastically improve the working speed of the automaton we design
