abstract = {The objective of this research is to create an object-detecting Android application for ELISpot immunoassay reading. The ability to accurately, quickly, and cheaply conduct immunoassay tests will guarantee that public healthcare industries are operating and helping patients in rural areas effectively. The past reliance on purchased laboratory equipment, and the rampant cost of health services has led to the privatization of healthcare industries and the negligence of rural area healthcare facilities. Therefore, this research is intended to help spread ELISpot test capability to smaller less-funded programs by creating an accessible ELISpot reading system in the form of an application and the hardware required. Object detection solutions present 2 issues; computational intensity and image quality. An Android application containing the enumeration algorithm was also designed. In order to implement object detection capability on mobile devices, the parameters used were extracted from a Faster R-CNN neural network model trained from a set of immunoassay images provided by the laboratory. The annotation of the images was done using LabelImage, whose output of .xml was converted to .csv and tfrecord files respectively. The computational accuracy tested over the samples averages out at 98% accuracy. While other design parameters such as image processing speed, system weight, and process throughput time are all satisfactory. With the project completed successfully, it is believed that with the upcoming technologies of deep learning super sampling (DLSS) With this kept in mind, true deep learning capable object detection applications operated on a mobile device will soon become more widespread and accessible. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).},

A dynamometer integrated into the CNC machine captures decomposed cutting forces using the Daubechies wavelet transform. These force ratios are correlated with key workpiece dimensions: surface roughness, average roughness, straightness, and roundness. Two predictive models—nonlinear regression and a feed-forward neural network with Levenberg–Marquardt backpropagation—are employed to estimate these parameters under varying cutting conditions. Experimental results indicate that nonlinear regression models outperform neural networks in predictive accuracy. The proposed system offers effective in-process control of machining quality, contributing to shorter cycle times, lower defect rates, and more sustainable manufacturing practices. © 2025 by the authors.},

abstract = {This paper integrates an in-process monitoring of tool wear with quality control of roughness and roundness of machined parts in CNC turning, which are the critical parameters. The Daubechies wavelet transform has been applied to decompose the dynamic cutting forces in order to classify the signals of the tool wear, the average surface roughness, the surface roughness, and the roundness. The decomposed cutting forces are normalized to predict those parameters regardless of cutting conditions by taking the ratio of decomposed cutting forces. Firstly, the ratio of average variance of decomposed feed force to that of decomposed main force is proposed to estimate the tool wear. Secondly, the areas of those decomposed feed force and decomposed main force have been proposed and taken into the ratio to forecast the average surface roughness and the surface roughness concurrently. Lastly, the roundness error is calculated simultaneously by utilizing the ratio of average variance of decomposed radial force to that of decomposed feed force. The exponential function is adopted to represent the relations of the tool wear, the average surface roughness, the surface roughness, the roundness, and all proposed ratios of decomposed cutting forces, respectively. The new cutting tests are conducted to verify all obtained models. The experimentally obtained results showed that the tool wear declines as the ratio of average variance of decomposed feed force to that of decomposed main force increases. The average surface roughness and the surface roughness tend to decrease while the ratio of decomposed feed force to decomposed main force progresses. On the other hand, the roundness error becomes larger when the ratio of average variance of decomposed radial force to that of decomposed feed force escalates. It is concluded that the tool wear, the average surface roughness, the surface roughness, and the roundness can be monitored and controlled at the same time during the in-process CNC turning, which has never been done and developed before. The highest benefit of the proposed system can enhance the quality of machined parts and lead to higher productivity. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature 2024.},

abstract = {This study addresses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care, including hospital congestion and an overload of medical staff. This study proposes a system that uses a chatbot with artificial intelligence to assist in the initial classification of drug allergy in patients. The chatbot would allow general users to input images to chat and wait to categorize drug allergy. Along with testing and gathering information to make sure of a correct diagnosis. Following that, we will collect additional details for future diagnostics. Patients with mild allergic reactions do not need to be hospitalized. Chatbot systems can help with the initial drug allergy screen and can follow instructions. This study investigates the design of an efficient chatbot and uses convolutional neural networks for image classification. The results show that the investigators' new set-up procedure for initial drug allergy screening and CNN model validation works, which means that this work could be used as a model for future research and development. Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly significant in medical technology. However, there are recommendations to further enhance data set preparation and bot responses. This research leads to opportunities for future work in drug allergy diagnostics utilizing breakthrough technologies that support the entrance of the AI era. © 2024 Owner/Author.},

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is adopted to prove the relation between cutting force and straightness in frequency domain, which appear the same frequency. The cutting force ratio is proposed and normalized to predict the in-process straightness regardless of the cutting conditions. Firstly, the straightness is calculated by employing the two-layer feed-forward neural networks. The Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm is utilized to train the system. Secondly, the multiple regression analysis has been applied to model the in-process prediction of straightness and the cutting force ratio under various cutting conditions with the use of least square method at 95% confidence level. Finally, the experimentally obtained results from the neural networks are compared with the ones obtained from the developed straightness model.
