In the fuzzy setting, we define a collector of fuzzy information without probability, which allows us to consider the reliability of the observers. This problem is transformed in a system of functional equations. We give the general solution of that system for collectors which are compatible with composition law of the kind “inf”.
This paper describes a robust set-membership-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) technique for a particular class of nonlinear systems, the so-called flat systems. The proposed strategy consists in checking if the expected input value belongs to an estimated feasible set computed using the system model and the derivatives of the measured output vector. The output derivatives are computed using a numerical differentiator. The set-membership estimator design for the input vector takes into account...
It is widely known that pattern sensitive faults are the most difficult faults to detect during the RAM testing process. One of the techniques which can be used for effective detection of this kind of faults is the multi-background test technique. According to this technique, multiple-run memory test execution is done. In this case, to achieve a high fault coverage, the structure of the consecutive memory backgrounds and the address sequence are very important. This paper defines requirements which...
This paper presents an identification method of dynamic systems based on a group method of data handling approach. In particular, a new structure of the dynamic multi-input multi-output neuron in a state-space representation is proposed. Moreover, a new training algorithm of the neural network based on the unscented Kalman filter is presented. The final part of the work contains an illustrative example regarding the application of the proposed approach to robust fault detection of a tunnel furnace....
This paper develops a new approach to double fault isolation in linear systems with the aid of directional residuals. The method of residual generation for computational as well as internal forms is applied. Isolation of double faults is based on the investigation of the coplanarity of the residual vector with the planes defined by the individual pairs of directional fault vectors. Additionally, the method of designing secondary residuals, which are structured and directional, is proposed. These...
The paper describes a spectral method for combinational logic synthesis using the Walsh transform and the Reed-Muller form. A new algorithm is presented that allows us to obtain the mixed polarity Reed-Muller expansion of Boolean functions. The most popular minimisation (sub-minimisation) criterion of the Reed-Muller form is obtained by the exhaustive search of all the polarity vectors. This paper presents a non-exhaustive method for Reed-Muller expansions. The new method allows us to build the...
This paper reviews the use of set-membership methods in fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC). Setmembership methods use a deterministic unknown-but-bounded description of noise and parametric uncertainty (interval models). These methods aims at checking the consistency between observed and predicted behaviour by using simple sets to approximate the exact set of possible behaviour (in the parameter or the state space). When an inconsistency is detected between the measured and predicted...
This paper deals with the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to fault detection and location in extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines for high speed protection using terminal line data. The proposed neural fault detector and locator were trained using various sets of data available from a selected power network model and simulating different fault scenarios (fault types, fault locations, fault resistances and fault inception angles) and different power system data (source capacities,...
We study simulation of gate circuits in the infinite algebra of transients recently introduced by Brzozowski and Ésik. A transient is a word consisting of alternating s and s; it represents a changing signal. In the algebra of transients, gates process transients instead of s and s. Simulation in this algebra is capable of counting signal changes and detecting hazards. We study two simulation algorithms: a general one that works with any initial state, and a special one that applies only if...

El generador de secuencias de ensayo que se presenta en este artículo utiliza una descripción del circuito a nivel de transistor que representa las redes de transistores de enriquecimiento de las funciones lógicas NMOS mediante grafos no orientados. Para la generación de vectores de ensayo se emplea el algoritmo D, habiendo desarrollado un método enumerativo de búsqueda de caminos en la parte superior del grafo, a partir del camino mínimo que pasa por el flanco que representa el transistor afectado...
In this article, the problems of fault diagnosis (FD) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) are investigated for a class of nonlinear systems with output measurement noise. Due to the influence of measurement noise in the output sensor, the output observation error cannot be accurately obtained, which causes obstacles to the accuracy of FD. To address this issue, an output filter and disturbance estimator are constructed to decrease the negative effects of measurement noise and observer gain disturbances,...
This work presents the first self-checking Booth-3 multiplier and a new self-checking Booth-2 multiplier using parity prediction. We propose a method which combines error-detection of Booth-3 (or Booth-2) decoder cells and parity prediction. Additionally, code disjointness is ensured by reusing logic for partial product generation. Parity prediction is applied to a carry-save-adder with the standard sign-bit extension. In this adder almost all cells have odd fanouts and faults are detected by the...
A set C of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is total dominating in G if all vertices of V are adjacent to a vertex of C. Furthermore, if a total dominating set C in G has the additional property that for any distinct vertices u, v ∈ V C the subsets formed by the vertices of C respectively adjacent to u and v are different, then we say that C is a locating-total dominating set in G. Previously, locating-total dominating sets in strips have been studied by Henning and Jafari Rad (2012). In particular,...
