Federated learning has attracted much attention in fault diagnosis since it can effectively protect data privacy. However, efficient fault diagnosis performance relies on the uninterrupted training of model parameters with massive amounts of perfect data. To solve the problems of model training difficulty and parameter negative transfer caused by data corruption, a novel cross-device fault diagnosis method based on repaired data is proposed.

Quality-related prediction in the continuous-casting process is important for the quality and process control of casting slabs. As intelligent manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, numerous data-driven techniques have been available for industrial applications. This case study was aimed at developing a machine-learning algorithm, capable of predicting slag inclusion defects in continuous-casting slabs, based on process condition sensor data.

During the assembly process of the rear axle, the assembly quality and assembly efficiency decrease due to the accumulation errors of rear axle assembly torque. To deal with the problem, we proposed a rear axle assembly torque online control method based on digital twin. First, the gray wolf-based optimization variational modal decomposition and long short-term memory network (GWO-VMD-LSTM) algorithm was raised to predict the assembly torque of the rear axle, which solves the shortcomings of unpredictable non-stationarity and nonlinear assembly torque, and the prediction accuracy reaches 99.

Due to the rapid development of industrial internet technology, the traditional manufacturing industry is in urgent need of digital transformation, and one of the key technologies to achieve this is multi-source data fusion. For this problem, this paper proposes an improved entropy-weighted topsis method for a multi-source data fusion evaluation system. It adds a fusion evaluation system based on the decision-level fusion algorithm and proposes a dynamic fusion strategy.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by , is an important foliar disease in corn. Since 2005, the damage from NCLB has increased in Northeast China, probably from the emergence of new physiological races. In this study, 883 single conidial isolates of were obtained from 12 sites across three provinces of Northeast China between 2007 and 2017.

Fusarium verticillioides, an important maize pathogen produces fumonisins and causes stalk and ear rot; thus, we are aimed to clarify its infection cycle by assessing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) expression in stalk and ear rot strains. Maize seeds were inoculated with stable and strongly pathogenic transformants. To investigate the degree of infection, inoculated plants were observed under a stereo fluorescence microscope, and affected tissue strains were detected using PCR.

AG1 IA is a soil-borne fungal phytopathogen that can significantly harm crops resulting in economic loss. This species overwinters in grass roots and diseased plants, and produces sclerotia that infect future crops. AG1 IA does not produce spores; therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism of sclerotia formation is important for crop disease control.

We developed an upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton actuated by pneumatic muscles. The exoskeleton included two metal links: a nylon joint, four size-adjustable carbon fiber bracers, a potentiometer and two pneumatic muscles. The proportional myoelectric control method was proposed to control the exoskeleton according to the user's motion intention in real time.

A total of 112 Fusarium isolates were obtained from 36 soil samples collected from the greenhouse melon fields of Liaoning Province, among which, 11 species were identified by traditional morphological classification and rDNA sequence analysis. Universally Primed PCR (UP-PCR) was conducted to analyze the 25 strains of test Fusarium isolates and 3 strains of positive control Fusarium isolates. The results indicated that a total of 73 bands appeared after amplification by using 6 primers, and 66 bands (90.
