According to production records and field tests of the cellular phone industry, the existing hot bar blade design has two defects: (1) temperature distributions along the edge of the hot bar blade are nonuniform during the heating and soldering processes; and (2) the blade cannot reach the desired t

β¦ Synopsis
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been widely applied to identify the sources of dimenSional variation in automotive body assembly; however, current PCA methods based on a covariance matrix are not appropriate for dealing with high-dimensional data, noisy data, and missing data. Due to its adaptive nature and fast computational capabilii, an artificial neural network has been considered as a new alternative to ovemome the statistical analysis pmblerns. In this paper, an artificial neural network using a nonlinear transfer function will be introduced to overcome current data analysis problems in an auto assembly process. A case study is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed approach.

Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network is currently the most widely used model to deal with applications and therefore it is relevant to design and test methods to improve its efficiency at run time. This paper deals with a new method to use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to cut differences
## Abstract Pulsed laserβinduced autofluorescence spectra of pathologically certified normal and malignant colonic mucosal tissues were recorded at 325βnm excitation. The spectra were analysed using three different methods for discrimination purposes. First, all the spectra were subjected to the pr
