System Eliminating Emergency Discharges in Industrial Facilities Waste Waters Using Relative Signal Description by V. A. Alekseev, S. I. Yuran, V. P. Usoltsev, D. N. Shulmin

“…The relative description on the components of the lattice function of the spectrum of emergency discharges is used, constructed using the order ratio between the components of the lattice function.The emergency discharge identification can be implemented by comparing the relative description of the emergency discharge spectrum with the reference spectra for the harmful substances that can be present at the given industrial facility, and the standards of the spectra of these substances are presented in the form of a relative description using the ratio “more”–“less”.The authors provide a flow chart for the emergency discharge elimination system, describe its operation and the functions fulfilled by its elements. …”

Bearing-Only Multi-Target Localization Incorporating Waveguide Characteristics for Low Detection Rate Scenarios in Shallow Water by Xiaohan Mei, Bo Zhang, Duo Zhai, Zhaohui Peng

“…A <i>β</i>-S-dimensional assignment (<i>β</i>-SDA) method incorporating waveguide characteristics is proposed to address the BOMTL problem in shallow water with low detection rates. The estimated distance for the warping transformation is derived from the intersection points of the bearing lines, then the autocorrelation function of the broadband beamforming output is transformed using a warping operator to obtain the corresponding characteristic spectrum. …”

A Lightweight YOLOv8s Algorithm for Ceiling Fan Blade Defect Detection With Optimized Pruning and Knowledge Distillation by Qinyuan Huang, Chen Fan, Yuqi Sun, Jiaxiong Huang, Wengziyang Jiang

“…While industrial ceiling fans play a vital role in maintaining efficient airflow and system stability within factory settings, surface defects on their blades that arise over time can disrupt their functionality and create safety hazards. Detecting these surface defects is crucial; however, accurate and rapid detection typically involves complex machine vision algorithms, such as You Only Look Once (YOLO) networks, that require considerable computing resources, which contradicts the industry&#x2019;s preference for simpler algorithms that can be deployed using low-cost computing power. …”
