In medical practice, there is no appropriate widely-used application of a system based on fuzzy logic for identifying the lower limb movement type or type of walking. The object of our study was to determine characteristics of the cyclogram to identify the gait behavior by using a fuzzy logic system. The set of data for setting and testing the fuzzy logic system was measured on 10 volunteers recruited from healthy students of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The human walking speed was defined by the treadmill speed, and the inclination angle of the surface was defined by the treadmill and terrain slope. The input to the fuzzy expert system is based on the following variables: the area and the inclination angle of the cyclogram. The output variables from the fuzzy expert system are: the inclination angle of the surface, and the walking speed. We also tested the method with input based on the angle of inclination of the surface and the walking speed, and with the output based on the area and the inclination angle of the cyclogram. We found that identifying the type of terrain and walking speed on the basis of an evaluation of the cyclogram could be sufficiently accurate and suitable if we need to know the approximate type of walking and the approximate inclination angle of the surface. According to the method described here, the cyclograms could provide information about human walking, and we can infer the walking speed and the angle of inclination of the terrain.

Using the theory of fuzzy sets, this paper develops a fuzzy logic reasoning system as an augmentation to a rule-based expert system to deal with fuzzy information. First, fuzzy set theorems and fuzzy logic principles are briefly reviewed and organized to form a basis for the proposed fuzzy logic system. These theorems and principles are then extended for reasoning based on knowledge base with fuzzy production rules. When an expert system is augmented with the fuzzy logic system, the inference capability of the expert system is greatly expanded; and the establishment of a rule-based knowledge base becomes much easier and more economical. Interpretations of the system’s power and possible future research directions conclude the paper.

Recently, there are so many soft computing methods been used in time series analysis. One of these methods is fuzzy logic system. In this paper, we will try to implement fuzzy logic system to predict a non-stationary time series data. The data we use here is Mackey-Glass chaotic time series. We also use MATLAB software to predict the time series data, which have been divided into four groups of input-output pairs. These groups then will be used as the input variables of the fuzzy logic system. There are two scenarios been used in this paper, first is by using seven fuzzy sets, and second is by using fifteen fuzzy sets. The result shows that the fuzzy system with fifteen fuzzy sets give a better forecasting result than the fuzzy system with seven fuzzy sets. Index Terms—forecasting, fuzzy logic, Mackey-Glass chaotic, MATLAB, time series analysis

The Eigen-FLS approach using an eigenspace-based scheme for fast fuzzy logic system (FLS) establishments has been attempted successfully in speech pattern recognition. However, speech pattern recognition by Eigen-FLS will still encounter a dissatisfactory recognition performance when the collected data for eigen value calculations of the FLS eigenspace is scarce. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes two improved-versioned Eigen-FLS methods, incremental MLED Eigen-FLS and EigenMLLR-like Eigen-FLS, both of which use a linear interpolation scheme for properly adjusting the target speaker’s Eigen-FLS model derived from an FLS eigenspace. Developed incremental MLED Eigen-FLS and EigenMLLR-like Eigen-FLS are superior to conventional Eigen-FLS especially in the situation of insufficient data from the target speaker.
