The Degradation Process Modeling and Shelf Life Prediction of Drug by ZHOU Zhen, LI Han-bin, QI Jia, MA De-zhong

“…To solve the problem of individual difference in the same batch cannot be considered during the traditional degradation process modeling, an effective method is proposed to fuse priori degenerate data with site degraded data which can predict shelf life for the monolithic drug and new drugs Determining the distribution of model parameters based on prior information, fusion of field data to update parameters by Bayes On this basis, predict the shelf life of the monolithic drug The results show that the No5 loaded and bottled drugs’ shelf life predicted values are 4395 and 4747 weeks The relative errors are 0043 and 0051 And the feasibility of fusing degradation data to predict the shelf life of the monolithic drug and new drugs is verified…”

A Warning Method of Traction Motor Filter Clogging Based onRecurrent Neural Network by ZHANG Shiqiang, DAI Jisheng, XU Hailong, ZHAN Yanhao

“…By this method, motor temperature is predicted in real time based on the existing data of train, and motor filter clogging warning is realized according to the residual relationship between predicted values and actual values. Application results of a subway operation vehicle show that this method can accurately warn the clogging problem of motor filter, guide precise maintenance, and effectively promote the process of state maintenance.…”
