Robust electronic circuit design using evolutionary and Taguchi methods
… circuits can be built from evolutionary methods. The evolutionary algorithms were used to search the space of discrete component values from a range of manufactured preferred values to obtain robust electronic circuits. Parasitic effects were also modelled in the simulation to provide for …

Influences of surface quality on the rolling contact fatique behaviour of ceramics
… eccentric lapping were analysed and discussed. Taguchi Methods were used to optimise the finishing parameters to achieve maximum material removal rate in lapping and to achieve minimum surface roughness value Ra in polishing. Two kinds of HIPed silicon nitride ball blanks were finished by this …

Human inspired pattern recognition via local invariant features
… as input into the model. This research uses the Taguchi Design of Experiments approach to find optimal values for the SIFT parameters with respect to finding correct matches between images that vary in rotation and scale. The approach used the Taguchi L18 matrix to determine the optimal parameter …
