Title: Analyte species and concentration identification using differentially functionalized microcantilever arrays and artificial neural networks

Abstract

In the present work, we have performed analyte species and concentration identification using an array of ten differentially functionalized microcantilevers coupled with a back-propagation artificial neural network pattern recognition algorithm. The array consists of ten nanostructured silicon microcantilevers functionalized by polymeric and gas chromatography phases and macrocyclic receptors as spatially dense, differentially responding sensing layers for identification and quantitation of individual analyte(s) and their binary mixtures. The array response (i.e. cantilever bending) to analyte vapor was measured by an optical readout scheme and the responses were recorded for a selection of individual analytes as well as several binary mixtures. An artificial neural network (ANN) was designed and trained to recognize not only the individual analytes and binary mixtures, but also to determine the concentration of individual components in a mixture. To the best of our knowledge, ANNs have not been applied to microcantilever array responses previously to determine concentrations of individual analytes. The trained ANN correctly identified the eleven test analyte(s) as individual components, most with probabilities greater than 97%, whereas it did not misidentify an unknown (untrained) analyte. Demonstrated unique aspects of this work include an ability to measure binary mixtures and provide both qualitative (identification) and quantitative (concentration)more » information with array-ANN-based sensor methodologies.« less

    This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN`s) to identify and control an induction machine. Two systems are presented: a system to adaptively control the stator currents via identification of the electrical dynamics, and a system to adaptively control the rotor speed via identification of the mechanical and current-fed system dynamics. Various advantages of these control schemes over other conventional schemes are cited and the performance of the combined speed and current control scheme is compared with that of the standard vector control scheme.

    Power system loads are important for planning and operation of an electric power system. Load characteristics can significantly influence the results of synchronous stability and voltage stability studies. This paper presents a methodology for identification of power system load dynamics using neural networks. Input-output data of a power system dynamic load is used to design a neural network model which comprises delayed inputs and feedback connections. The developed neural network model can predict the future power system dynamic load behavior for arbitrary inputs. In particular, a third-order induction motor load neural network model is developed to verify the methodology. Neuralmore » network simulation results are illustrated and compared with the induction motor load response.« less

    In this paper we present a multi-frequency excitation eddy current differential transducer and dynamic neural models which were used to detect and identify artificial flaws in thin conducting plates. Plates are made of Inconel600. EDM notches have relative depth from 10% to 80% and length from 2 mm to 7 mm. All flaws were located on the opposite surface of the examined specimen. Measured signals were used as input for training and verifying dynamic neural networks with a moving window. Wide range of ANN (Artificial Neural Network) structures are examined for different window length and different number of frequency componentsmore » in excitation signal.

    There is a need to develop an algorithm that can determine the relative activities of radio-isotopes in a large dataset of low-resolution gamma-ray spectra that contains a mixture of many radio-isotopes. Low-resolution gamma-ray spectra that contain mixtures of radio-isotopes often exhibit feature over-lap, requiring algorithms that can analyze these features when overlap occurs. While machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms have shown promise for the problem of radio-isotope identification, their ability to identify and quantify mixtures of radio-isotopes has not been studied. Because machine learning algorithms use abstract features of the spectrum, such as the shape of overlapping peaks andmore » Compton continuum, they are a natural choice for analyzing radio-isotope mixtures. An artificial neural network (ANN) has be trained to calculate the relative activities of 32 radio-isotopes in a spectrum. Furthermore, the ANN is trained with simulated gamma-ray spectra, allowing easy expansion of the library of target radio-isotopes. In this paper we present our initial algorithms based on an ANN and evaluate them against a series measured and simulated spectra.« less
