Epilepsy and Seizure Onset hnology has been used in the past to monitor the tire pressure of automobiles, light trucks, SUVs, vans, and heavy duty tractor-trailers. The NF system was very successful in detecting tire pressure leaks within 10% of recommended PSI, which has been shown to be considerably better than other tire monitoring systems.
Machine Tools Monitoring and Control
NF can be used as a strategic aide to computer numerical control (CNC) programs that operate machine tools. In a production environment, a series of CNC machines might be combined into one station, commonly called a cell, to progressively machine a part requiring several operation stages. CNC machine tools can be classified as industrial robotic systems. They can be run over night and weekends without an operator in attendance. NF's real-time monitoring system can be used in combination with CNC software to detect machine errors and malfunctions and send timely alerts to a remote operator's mobile communication device. NF can also forecast machine operation.
The NF Cube is an alternative to mechanical and electronic machine controls. As a three-dimension, animated, graphic display, the Cube can be used in place of the typical wide range of gauges, data curve plots on monitors, and manual controls to display the performance of a production machine and serve as a touch-screen control for adjusting its operation. The Cube can combine several production processes and display a unified monitoring and control graphic which gives the operator a single source for remote machine operation.
Production Planning and Control
NF can also be used to provide machine monitoring and control information for production management. A conceivable system would include tiers of NF machine applications feeding alerts into successive layers of NF systems which would give management a single source for controlling production processes.
Robotics Monitoring, Feedback and Control
Multiple NF systems can be nested in hierarchical structures, in which the bottom-level system processes sensory inputs and the top-level system outputs overall application status. For example, NF can be used to monitor several automobile components while higher level NF systems monitor groups of lower NF systems, with the top-level NF system predicting the overall automobile's status.
