Application of Deep Learning Algorithm in Visual Optimization of Industrial Design

In order to understand the application of degree learning algorithms in industrial design visual optimization, the author proposes an application research based on deep learning algorithms in industrial design visual optimization. The author first starts with the basic principles of deep learning algorithms and provides a detailed explanation of the basic structure of the single-layer network of deep learning algorithms, as well as the restricted Boltzmann machine and its training process. Finally, an example of the performance improvement brought by the application of deep learning technology in handwritten digit recognition was given through an automatic encoder, and a simple summary of deep learning technology was made. Secondly, the NCI matching algorithm is used to match industrial design products and reconstruct the point cloud of industrial products to accurately detect their features. On this basis, deep learning algorithms are applied to construct a visual optimization model for industrial design, determine the output format of the model scene and the output situation of industrial design, and process the model according to the changing characteristics of the industrial design model to comprehensively edit the data of the model. Finally, targeted optimization of the industrial design visual optimization model is carried out based on the technical characteristics of deep learning algorithms, in order to complete the industrial design visual optimization. The experimental comparison results show that the industrial design visual optimization method optimized in this design has higher visual clarity than the traditional industrial design method, reaching 98%. Greatly improves the visual clarity of industrial design.

Romatoid Artrit Hastaları için Zihin Haritası Yöntemi ile Bardak Tasarım Kriterlerinin Geliştirilmesi

Rheumatoid arthritis, which is primarily seen in small joints (hand joints, wrist and foot joints) and elbows, causes chronic (more than 6 weeks) joint damage. It is an autoimmune inflammatory joint disease that can occur in many organs and systems. When we look at the female / male ratio of this disease, which is seen at a rate of 1% in the society, it appears as 3/1. Although the reason for its emergence is unknown; it is stated that biological and hereditary factors are the main cause. In addition, it is claimed that psychological and social factors also play a role in the onset and course of the disease. RA causes negative situations in both physical and psychosocial life of the person. Symptoms can result in restriction of daily activities, decreased effectiveness in work life, problems in sexual life, social isolation, dependence on others. As a result of these, a decrease in the self-esteem of the individual, changes in body image, depression, anxiety and anger feelings may develop. One of the situations in which daily activities are restricted in people with RA is the restriction or complete termination of the use of daily products. Rheumatoid arthritis patients with the daily products were investigated and it was determined that one of the most problematic products to use was glasses. It was aimed to solve the problems identified in glass designs with industrial design methods. In this direction, the design criteria and mind maps presented by 50 students who successfully completed the 'Design Theory and Methods' course at Erciyes University, Department of Industrial Design Engineering were examined. This study, which is presented at the intersection of medical and industrial design, is important in terms of creating an interdisciplinary study area.

Novel Design and Lateral Stability Tracking Control of a Four-Wheeled Rollator

Design and control of smart rollators have attracted increasing research interests in the past decades. To meet the requirements of the elderly or disabled users, this paper proposes a novel design and tracking control scheme for empowering and assisting natural human mobility with a four-wheeled rollator. Firstly, by integrating the advantages of Kano Model Analysis and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), we introduce a novel Kano-TRIZ industrial design method to design and optimize its mechanical structure. The demand and quality characteristics of the clinical rollator are analyzed according to the Kano model. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and TRIZ are adopted to integrate industrial product innovations and optimize the function configuration. Furthermore, a lateral stability controller based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme is introduced to achieve good tracking control performance with the lateral deviation and the heading angle deviation. Finally, the feasibility of the design and control method is verified with a simulation study. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm keeps the lateral position error in a reasonable range. In the co-simulation of ADAMS-MATLAB, the trajectory of the rollator is smooth with constrained position error within 0.1 m, the turning angle and speed can achieve stable tracking control within 5 s and the heading angle is accurate and the speed is stable. A compared experiment with MPC and SMC show that MPC controller has faster response, higher tracking accuracy and smoother trajectory on the novel designed rollator. With the increasing demand for rollators in the global market, the methodology proposed in this paper will attract more research and industry interests.

An industrial facility layout design method considering energy saving based on surplus rectangle fill algorithm

The facility layout design within a plant is a key step in the process of chemical engineering design. A good layout can save capital cost, energy and natural resource. The aim of this work is to determine the relative location of facilities in a large-scale industrial plant considering multi-floor structure to make the total cost minimum. The objective function consists of piping investment cost, pump power cost, land cost, and floor construction cost. Surplus rectangle fill algorithm is applied in this work, and it is combined with a genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal solution. Constraints of pump area, joint arrangement of heat exchangers, and the cross-floor facilities are also taken into consideration. In the case study, a plant from a real refinery including 217 facilities is designed with different floor number. The comparison of the three different conditions proves the important role of floor number in the trade-off among investment cost, energy consumption, and land resource. The case illustrates that, the proposed method can generate a reasonable layout design for the industrial facilities and save capital and operating cost effectively. A sensitivity analysis is also done to explore the influence of basic data on the optimal construction structure.

Preferred attributes of home energy management products for smart grids - results of a design study and related user survey

This paper presents an insight into end-users' perception of smart grid products for households. The analysed products included three types of home energy management products (HEMPs) namely: smart thermostats, smart plugs and smart wall sockets. The analysis involved existing commercial HEMPs, as well as newly designed HEMPs from a students' project executed at University of Twente (Netherlands) in 2013 and 2014. Various industrial design methods were applied, and an online survey was utilised for data collection. The smart thermostat was considered the product with the greatest potential to stimulate energy-efficient behaviour. Features most preferred by end-users are: 1) visual display of energy information; 2) monitoring of energy use of appliances; 3) remote control, and expected ease of use. Appearance also appeared to have influenced the preferences of end-users regarding specific HEMPs. This study highlights the main features that household end-users desire in products that could stimulate energy-efficient behaviour.

Data-Driven Approach to Using Uniform Experimental Design to Optimize System Compensation Parameters for an Auto-Alignment Machine

This paper proposes a data-driven approach using uniform experimental design (DAUED) to optimize system compensation parameters for an auto-alignment machine. The proposed DAUED optimizes system compensation parameters by integrating uniform experimental design with the best combination of parameter values and a stepwise ratio. First, system compensation parameters and a 10-level uniform layout (UL) are used to perform alignment experiments. Second, the best result for the 10-level UL experiments is selected and combined with the stepwise ratio for use in computing the experimental range of each parameter for the next 10-level UL experiments. The steps are repeated until the alignment count remains unchanged. Experiments in industrial examples showed that, compared to the conventional industrial design method, the proposed DAUED requires fewer experiments to obtain the system compensation parameters that minimize the alignment count. For example, to achieve a required alignment accuracy to within 5 μm, the DAUED can obtain the best system compensation parameters in only 30 experiments and with an alignment count of 1. In addition, in 30 independent runs using the best compensation parameters, the mean and the standard deviations in alignment counts are 1 and 0, respectively. That is, the best system compensation parameters are robust and stable. In contrast, the industrial design method previously used by engineers requires more than 200 experiments to obtain the system compensation parameters, and its alignment count is as high as 4 or 5. In conclusion, compared to the conventional approach to optimizing system compensation parameters, the proposed DAUED is superior in terms of efficiency (i.e., it requires fewer experiments), effectiveness (i.e., it has a lower alignment count), and robustness (i.e., it achieves a standard deviation of zero in alignment count) in online, real-time, and high-precision optimization of an auto-alignment machine.
