Abstract In a real-world industrial system, it is challenging to reduce interference from operating conditions and extract high-quality feature data. To address these issues, this paper proposes a time-domain feature generation and analysis (FGA) scheme, which designs a grouping-aggregation (GA) scheme and an index decomposition (ID) method to extract and analyze high-quality feature data for industrial systems. The FGA represents a designed GA-based hybrid algorithm collaborative architecture, which overcomes the limitations of single algorithms and enables joint feature extraction from multi-condition, multi-scale industrial data. Simultaneously, FGA incorporates a feedback-driven threshold self-calibration mechanism, integrating LSTM-VAE to dynamically… More >

Abstract With the high proportion of new energy access, the traditional fault self-healing mechanism of the distribution network is challenged. Aiming at the demand for fast recovery of new distribution network faults, this paper proposes a fault self-healing cooperative strategy for the new energy distribution network based on an improved ant colony-genetic hybrid algorithm. Firstly, the graph theory adjacency matrix is used to characterize the topology of the distribution network, and the dynamic positioning of new energy nodes is realized. Secondly, based on the output model and load characteristic model of wind, photovoltaic, and energy storage,… More >

Abstract To address low learning efficiency and inadequate path safety in spraying robot navigation within complex obstacle-rich environments—with dense, dynamic, unpredictable obstacles challenging conventional methods—this paper proposes a hybrid algorithm integrating Q-learning and improved A*-Artificial Potential Field (A-APF). Centered on the Q-learning framework, the algorithm leverages safety-oriented guidance generated by A-APF and employs a dynamic coordination mechanism that adaptively balances exploration and exploitation. The proposed system comprises four core modules: (1) an environment modeling module that constructs grid-based obstacle maps; (2) an A-APF module that combines heuristic search from A* algorithm with repulsive force strategies from… More >

Abstract This paper introduces a hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm, designated HMODESFO, which amalgamates the exploratory prowess of Differential Evolution (DE) with the rapid convergence attributes of the Sailfish Optimization (SFO) algorithm. The primary objective is to address multi-objective optimization challenges within mechanical engineering, with a specific emphasis on planetary gearbox optimization. The algorithm is equipped with the ability to dynamically select the optimal mutation operator, contingent upon an adaptive normalized population spacing parameter. The efficacy of HMODESFO has been substantiated through rigorous validation against established industry benchmarks, including a suite of Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) and Zeb-Thiele-Laumanns-Zitzler (DTLZ) More >

Abstract Cloud computing has rapidly evolved into a critical technology, seamlessly integrating into various aspects of daily life. As user demand for cloud services continues to surge, the need for efficient virtualization and resource management becomes paramount. At the core of this efficiency lies task scheduling, a complex process that determines how tasks are allocated and executed across cloud resources. While extensive research has been conducted in the area of task scheduling, optimizing multiple objectives simultaneously remains a significant challenge due to the NP (Non-deterministic Polynomial) Complete nature of the problem. This study aims to address… More >

Abstract Although there is currently no unified standard theoretical formula for calculating the contact stress of cylindrical gears with a circular arc tooth trace (referred to as CATT gear), a mathematical model for determining the contact stress of CATT gear is essential for studying how parameters affect its contact stress and building the contact stress limit state equation for contact stress reliability analysis. In this study, a mathematical relationship between design parameters and contact stress is formulated using the Kriging Metamodel. To enhance the model’s accuracy, we propose a new hybrid algorithm that merges the genetic… More >

Abstract The Gannet Optimization Algorithm (GOA) and the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) demonstrate strong performance; however, there remains room for improvement in convergence and practical applications. This study introduces a hybrid optimization algorithm, named the adaptive inertia weight whale optimization algorithm and gannet optimization algorithm (AIWGOA), which addresses challenges in enhancing handwritten documents. The hybrid strategy integrates the strengths of both algorithms, significantly enhancing their capabilities, whereas the adaptive parameter strategy mitigates the need for manual parameter setting. By amalgamating the hybrid strategy and parameter-adaptive approach, the Gannet Optimization Algorithm was refined to yield the AIWGOA. More >

Abstract Effectively managing complex logistics data is essential for development sustainability and growth, especially in optimizing distribution routes. This article addresses the limitations of current logistics path optimization methods, such as inefficiencies and high operational costs.

Abstract Automated X-ray defect inspection of occluded objects has been an essential topic in semiconductors, autonomous vehicles, and artificial intelligence devices. However, there are few solutions to segment occluded objects in the X-ray inspection efficiently. In particular, in the Ball Grid Array inspection of X-ray images, it is difficult to accurately segment the regions of occluded solder balls and detect defects inside solder balls. In this paper, we present a novel automatic inspection algorithm that segments solder balls, and detects defects fast and efficiently when solder balls are occluded. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages.… More >
