In our GLS (global learning scheme) system, KDD (knowledge discovery in databases) process is modeled as an organized society of intelligent agents (called KDD agents). KDD process planning is a meta-agent in this framework, and some basic AI planning techniques have been used to organize dynamically the KDD process so that the GLS system increases both autonomy and versatility. In this paper, we address some deeper issues concerning KDD process planning. Especially we propose a mechanism integrating process planning with process controlling to formalize process iteration (that is, the re-execution of some agents). In this mode, execution failures causing process iteration, feedback paths and re-execution of the agents in the paths (and even the iterating number for each loop) are determined dynamically and automatically. With this and other deeper issues (such as process evolution) being properly handled, the GLS system is more complete in KDD process modeling, and more flexible and robust for practical use.

From the measurement of peripheral skin temperatures on the nose, temporalis, back of finger, and ankle simultaneously by thermistors and a thermography on the condition that peripheral blood vessels contract in smoking, it is demonstrated that the back of finger is most useful for the measurement area of skin temperature. The measurement of skin temperature on the back of finger in watching a scare video that is seized with fear is made for confirmation of the effectiveness, which is demonstrated from the result that the skin temperature on the back of finger for the scare dropped statistically in 18 subjects in comparison with that in watching a scenery video.

In this paper we address the decomposition problem of electromyographic signals (EMG) and we present a new idea for the decomposition approach introducing the time-scale phase representation. Considering the nature of EMG signals, a special set of nonorthogonal conjugated basis functions is used to perform the time-scale analysis. Mapping the modified signal phase into the time-scale phase plane is applied. Its minimization leads towards a very good time localization of individual superimposed signal components.

The generalized minimum variance control (GMVC) method was proposed by Clarke, and it was developed by Allidina taking into account of the closed-loop properties. However, these methods could not be applied to nonlinear systems. In this paper, a new design method of GMVC for nonlinear systems is proposed. This method is a kind of the hybrid controllers by using linear controllers and neural networks (NN). The GMVC law is derived for the known linear model of the controlled object, and the NN learns to compensate the modeling error. Finally, a numerical simulation example is illustrated in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Conventional regular moments are only invariant to translation, rotation and equal scaling. It is shown that the conventional regular moment-invariants remain no longer invariant when the image is scaled unequally in the x- and y-directions. The paper addresses this problem by presenting a technique to make the moments invariant to unequal scaling. Consequently, we would be able to obtain features for images that are translated, scaled equally/unequally and rotated. The problem is formulated using conventional regular moments. A neural network is trained to estimate the reference scale factor and together with another computed factor obtained from an equation involving the angle of rotation, the scaling ratio for the particular images can be obtained. From this, moments can be made invariant to unequal scaling. Invariance of rotation is achieved by using the principle axis method to determine the angle of rotation and consequently the moments of the image can be derived in its unrotated form. Validity of this method is demonstrated by experiment.

Emission mechanisms of a device-quality quantum well (QW) structure and bulk three dimensional (3D) InGaN materials grown on sapphire substrates without any epitaxial lateral overgrown GaN base layers were investigated. The InxGa1−xN layers showed various degrees of in-plane spatial potential (band gap) inhomogeneity, which is due to a compositional fluctuation or a few monolayers thickness fluctuation. The degree of fluctuation changed remarkably around a nominal InN molar fraction x=0.2, which changes to nearly 0.08–0.1 for the strained InxGa1−xN. This potential fluctuation induces localized energy states both in the QW and 3D InGaN, showing a large Stokes-like shift. The spontaneous emission from undoped InGaN single QW light-emitting diodes (LEDs), undoped 3D LEDs, and multiple QW (MQW) laser diode (LD) wafers was assigned as being due to the recombination of excitons localized at the potential minima, whose lateral size was determined by cathodoluminescence mapping to vary from less than 60 to 300 nm in QWs. Those structures are referred to as quantum disks (Q disks) or segmented QWs depending on the lateral size. Blueshift of the emission peak by an increase of the driving current was explained to be combined effects of band filling of the localized states by excitons and Coulomb screening of the quantum confined Stark effect induced by the piezoelectric field. The lasing mechanisms of the continuous wave In0.15Ga0.85N MQW LDs having small potential fluctuations can be described by the well-known electron-hole-plasma (EHP) picture. However, the inhomogeneous MQW LDs are considered to lase by EHP in segmented QWs or Q disks. It is desirable to use entire QW planes with small potential inhomogeneity as gain media for higher performance LD operation.

The purpose of this study is to develop the basic theories and techniques for a plant inspection and diagnosis robot (IDR). The robot dealt with in this study will work in a large scale unmanned plant or a place with dangerous environment. It has the ability to monitor the condition of plant machinery with only few sensors, and quickly to discriminate machine failures, in order to guarantee both the quality and quantity of production against accident. The paper proposes a method for detecting a faulty part of a plant machine by the robot. A manipulator installed on the IDR is controlled by genetic algorithms (GA). A microphone installed on the manipulator tip is used to detect a failure signal. It is navigated to the nearby front of the faulty part by sound information and GA control. The method has been proved by practical applications.

The limiter and microwave soliton behavior were experimentally demonstrated in the microstrip line using the 20 /spl mu/m thick yttrium iron garnet film substrate at S band. These nonlinear phenomena were explained by the strong coupling between quasi-TEM and magnetostatic forward volume wave modes at magnetic resonance frequency of /spl gamma//spl mu//sub 0/H/sub 0//2/spl pi/ from an implicit dispersion relation of the stripline.
