One of the most important steps during manufacturing of solar modules is lamination. This paper focuses on monitoring of behavior of used encapsulant Ethylene/Vinyl-Acetate (EVA) and impact on overall quality of module during lamination. Monitoring is performed by employing external thermocouple sensor inside the lamination chamber as well as by. Real-time analysis of the results helps to predict the quality of final product in terms of ensuring lamination quality in real time and provides possibility to tune the process during manufacturing cycle to achieve the best result of encapsulant cross-linking.

Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the brain. Currently, studies of epileptic seizures often involve tedious and time-consuming visual inspection of multi-channel long EEG data by medical experts. To better monitor seizures and make medications more effective, we propose a recurrence time based approach to characterize brain electrical activity. Unlike many other nonlinear methods, the proposed approach does not require that the EEG data be chaotic and/or stationary. It only contains a few parameters that are largely signal-independent, and hence, is very easy to use. The method detects epileptic seizures with accuracy close to 100% (when subclinical seizures are not counted) and false alarm rate per hour close to 0. Most critically, the method is very fast: with an ordinary PC (CPU speed less than 2 GHz), computation of the recurrence time from one channel EEG data of duration one hour with sampling frequency of 200 Hz takes about 1 minute CPU time. Therefore, with an ordinary PC, the method is able to process all 28 channels of 1-hour EEG data in about half an hour, and thus faster than the data being continuously collected. The method can also effectively monitor propagation of seizures in the brain. Therefore, it has the potential to be an excellent candidate for real-time monitoring of epileptic seizures in a clinical setting.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Damage to the facial nerve during surgery in the cerebellopontine angle is indicated by A-trains, a specific electromyogram pattern. These A-trains can be quantified by the parameter “traintime,” which is reliably correlated with postoperative functional outcome. The system presented was designed to monitor traintime in real-time. METHODS A dedicated hardware and software platform for automated continuous analysis of the intraoperative facial nerve electromyogram was specifically designed. The automatic detection of A-trains is performed by a software algorithm for real-time analysis of nonstationary biosignals. The system was evaluated in a series of 30 patients operated on for vestibular schwannoma. RESULTS A-trains can be detected and measured automatically by the described method for real-time analysis. Traintime is monitored continuously via a graphic display and is shown as an absolute numeric value during the operation. It is an expression of overall, cumulated length of A-trains in a given channel; a high correlation between traintime as measured by real-time analysis and functional outcome immediately after the operation (Spearman correlation coefficient [ρ] = 0.664, P < .001) and in long-term outcome (ρ = 0.631, P < .001) was observed. CONCLUSION Automated real-time analysis of the intraoperative facial nerve electromyogram is the first technique capable of reliable continuous real-time monitoring. It can critically contribute to the estimation of functional outcome during the course of the operative procedure.

Computer programs are now available in various laboratories for the indexing and simulation of transmission electron diffraction patterns. Although these programs address themselves to the solution of various aspects of the indexing and simulation process, the ultimate goal is to perform real time diffraction pattern analysis directly off of the imaging screen of the transmission electron microscope. The program to be described in this paper represents one step prior to real time analysis. It involves the combination of two programs, described in an earlier paper(l), into a single program for use on an interactive basis with a minicomputer. In our case, the minicomputer is an INTERDATA 70 equipped with a Tektronix 4010-1 graphical display terminal and hard copy unit.A simplified flow diagram of the combined program, written in Fortran IV, is shown in Figure 1. It consists of two programs INDEX and TEDP which index and simulate electron diffraction patterns respectively. The user has the option of choosing either the indexing or simulating aspects of the combined program.
