摘要:
The system of the present invention may “solve” a variety of inverse physical problem types by using neural network techniques. In operation, the present invention may generate data sets characterizing a particular starting condition of a physical process (such as data sets characterizing the parameters of an initial metal die), based upon an ending condition of the physical process (such as the parameters of the metal part to be stamped by the die). In one embodiment, the system of the present invention may generate a plurality of training data sets, each training data set characterizing a sample ending condition, the physical process that results in the sample ending condition, and a sample starting condition of the physical process. The training data sets may then be applied to a neural network so as to train the network. A network definition associated with the trained neural network may be stored, and an ending data set characterizing an ending condition of the physical process may be generated. A starting data set characterizing a starting condition of the physical process may thereafter be generated based upon the stored network definition and the ending data set.

A spot welder comprises a neural network for processing, in real time, current and voltage energizing a weld in progress. The neural network generates a predicted time of optimal weld strength and/or nugget size for the weld in progress. A controller terminates the weld in progress at the predicted time. A method for controlling a spot welder comprises the steps of: sensing in real time current and voltage energizing a spot weld in progress; predicting a time of optimal weld strength and/or nugget size with a neural network responsive to the sensed current and voltage; and, terminating the weld in progress at the predicted time. A sensor for electromotive forces (EMF) induced by the spot welder can generate a signal for canceling out a large fraction of EMF components in at least one or both of the current and voltage signals. EMF components are substantially precluded in the current signal if the current sensor uses a buried shunt. Termination of the weld in progress at the predicted time is prevented when the predicted time precedes a predetermined minimum weld duration. The weld in progress is terminated at a predetermined maximum weld duration when the predicted time is after the predetermined maximum weld duration.

A parallel processing system for production rule programs utilizes a host processor for storing production rule right hand sides (RHS) and a plurality of rule processors for storing left hand sides (LHS). The rule processors operate in parallel in the recognize phase of the system recognize -Act Cycle to match their respective LHS's against a stored list of working memory elements (WME) in order to find a self consistent set of WME's. The list of WME is dynamically varied during the Act phase of the system in which the host executes or fires rule RHS's for those rules for which a self-consistent set has been found by the rule processors. The host transmits instructions for creating or deleting working memory elements as dictated by the rule firings until the rule processors are unable to find any further self-consistent working memory element sets at which time the production rule system is halted.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for controlling textile working systems such as drafting frames. A detector is provided for detecting variations in the numbers of specific types of atoms, such as hydrogen atoms, in a known length of a traveling fibrous strand being worked by the drafting frame or other textile working device. System parameters, such as the draft imparted to the strand, may be varied in response to the detected variations.
