In this paper formulation of porosity osmotic tablet containing isradipine (model drug) as a low and pH dependent solubility was optimized based on the simultaneous optimization technique in which an artificial neural network (ANN) was incorporated. Nonlinear relationships between the causal factors and the response variables were represented well with the response surface predicted by ANN. Three causal factors, i.e., drug, osmotic pressure promoting agent rate (Lactose: Fructose), PEG400 content in coating solution and coating weight, were evaluated based on their effects on drug release rate. In vitro dissolution profile time profiles at four different sampling times (1, 12, 20 and 24h) were chosen as output variables. Commercially available STATISTICA 7 (Stat soft, USA) was used throughout the study. The optimize values for the factors X1-X3 were 1.25:0.75, 22% and 2.5% respectively. Calculated difference (f1 = 11.19) and similarity (f2 = 70.07) factors indicate that there is no difference between predicted and experimental observed drug release profile. Artificial neural network technique can be particularly suitable in the pharmaceutical technology of controlled release dosage forms where systems are complex and nonlinear relationships between independent and dependent variables often exist.

Quantitative assessment for post-stroke spasticity remains a significant challenge due to the encountered variable resistance during passive stretching, which can lead to the widely used modified Ashworth scale (MAS) for spasticity assessment depending heavily on rehabilitation physicians. To address these challenges, a high-force-output triboelectric soft pneumatic actuator (TENG-SPA) inspired by a lobster tail is developed. The bioinspired TENG-SPA can generate approximately 20 N at 0.

To achieve efficient size tuning of printed microstructures on insulating substrates, an integrated process parameter intelligent optimization design framework for alternating current pulse modulation electrohydrodynamic (AC-EHD) printing is proposed for the first time. The framework is comprised of two stages: the construction of a prediction model and the acquisition of process parameters. The first stage employs the elk herd optimizer(EHO)-artificial neural network(ANN) to establish a mapping relationship between printing process parameters and the size of deposited droplets.

Photovoltaic arrays are exposed to outdoor conditions year-round, leading to degradation, cracks, open circuits, and other faults. Hence, the establishment of an effective fault diagnosis system for photovoltaic arrays is of paramount importance. However, existing fault diagnosis methods often trade off between high accuracy and localization.

In this study, a predictive maintenance (PdM) system focused on feature selection for the detection and classification of simulated defects in wind turbine blades has been developed. Traditional PdM systems often rely on numerous, broadly chosen diagnostic indicators derived from vibration data, yet many of these features offer little added value and may even degrade model performance. General feature selection methods might not be suitable for PdM solutions, as information regarding observed faults is often misinterpreted or lost.
