This paper addresses analysis and design of multiple fault diagnosis for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear system. In order to automatically estimate multi-fault parameters efficiently, a new method of multi-fault diagnosis based on the differential evolution algorithm (DE) is proposed. Finally, a series of experiments validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation show the high accuracy of the proposed strategies in multiple abrupt faults diagnosis.

Quick Response (QR) codes are rapidly becoming pervasive in our daily life because of its fast readability and the popularity of smartphones with a built-in camera. However, recent researches raise security concerns because QR codes can be easily sniffed and decoded which can lead to private information leakage or financial loss. To address the issue, we present mQRCode which exploit patterns with specific spatial frequency to camouflage QR codes. When the targeted receiver put a camera at the designated position (e.g., 30cm and 0° above the camouflaged QR code), the original QR code is revealed due to the Moiré phenomenon. Malicious adversaries will only see camouflaged QR code at any other position. Our experiments show that the decoding rate of mQR codes is 95% or above within 0.83 seconds. When the camera is 10cm or 15° away from the designated location, the decoding rate drops to 0 so it's secure from attackers.

The new criterion for selecting the frequencies of the test polyharmonic signals is developed. It allows uniquely filtering the values of multidimensional transfer functions - Fourier-images of Volterra kernel from the partial component of the response of a nonlinear system. It is shown that this criterion significantly weakens the known limitations on the choice of frequencies and, as a result, reduces the number of interpolations during the restoration of the transfer function, and, the more significant, the higher the order of estimated transfer function.

Sensors are indispensable components of modern plants and processes and their reliability is vital to ensure reliable and safe operation of complex systems. In this paper, the problem of design and development of a data-driven Multiple Sensor Fault Detection and Isolation (MSFDI) algorithm for nonlinear processes is investigated. The proposed scheme is based on an evolving multi-Takagi Sugeno framework in which each sensor output is estimated using a model derived from the available input/output measurement data. Our proposed MSFDI algorithm is applied to Continuous-Flow Stirred-Tank Reactor (CFSTR). Simulation results demonstrate and validate the performance capabilities of our proposed MSFDI algorithm.
