A method of curve approximation comprises a dividing step for dividing a curve into arcs classified into four quadrant directions according to a normal thereof, each having a single-value monotone increasing or decreasing function, and a calculating step for calculating an approximate curve represented by a curve approximation function by using an interval between end points of each arc as a curve approximation interval.

A design support apparatus extracts feature data corresponding to design data to be searched upon receiving the design data to be searched. The apparatus checks the extracted feature data against the feature data associated with the feature associated information, ordering the design data associated with the feature associated information in descending order of similarity to the design data to be searched, retrieving one piece of the ordered design data. The apparatus generates a classification hierarchy consisting of pieces of classification data obtained by classifying a set of the retrieved design data based on a degree of feature similarity using the feature data associated with the feature associated information. The apparatus selects the design information closely associated with the classification data by fetching the design information corresponding to the design data contained in the classification data from the design associated information associating the design data and the design information.

A method of assisting analysis of a production process assisting work for analyzing the relationship between quality factors and characteristic of a product and a program product and a recording medium for the same, comprising receiving a designation of a factor from a user at a computer, arranging images corresponding to said image data related to the received factor in a virtual space in a display device connected to the computer (S13), displaying the virtual space in which the images are arranged in the display device (S14), repeating the designation reception, arrangement, and display until the user judges that there is similarity between adjoining images in the displayed images, receiving designation of at least one image by the user from images having similarity between adjoining images (S15), automatically extracting common factors among factors of the designated image (S16), receiving a hypothesis of a relationship between the common factors designated by the user and quality of products, and verifying the relation hypothesis (S17) so as to thereby assist work for analyzing the relationship between factors selected by the user and the product characteristic and adding to factors feature quantity from the image data of products and feature quantity from text data relating to the process prepared by a production worker converted to numerals/characters (S11, S12).
摘要:
A feedback control device at a certain control time, predicts a feedback quantity at the next control time on the basis of a feedback quantity fed back from a controlled object and then performs a control operation based on the predicted feedback quantity. The feedback control device includes a predictive control unit for producing such an actuating signal as to decrease a deviation between the predicted feedback quantity and a desired value. The actuating signal is used to control the controlled object. This eliminates the detrimental effects of time delays associated with the controlled object or the control device, thus ensuring good control. The use of the predictive control unit permits the controlled quantity from the controlled object to converge to the desired value monotonically and quickly. The predictive control unit may use a layered neural network having an input layer supplied with a feedback quantity and an input value corresponding to an actuating signal, and an output layer outputting a predicted feedback quantity. The deviation is back propagated from the output layer to the input layer by a relaxation algorithm in order to update the input value. The updated input value is applied to an actuating unit as an actuating signal, thereby controlling the controlled object.
