In this study the neuron of the random neural network (RNN) model (Gelenbe 1989) is designed using digital circuitry. In the RNN model, each neuron accumulates arriving pulses and can fire if its potential at a given instant of time is strictly positive. Firing occurs at random, the intervals between successive firing instants following an exponential distribution of constant rate. When a neuron fires, it routes the generated pulses to the appropriate output lines in accordance with the connection probabilities. In the digital circuitry the fundamental parts of the neuron are simulated by realizing Input Module, Neuron Potential Module, Firing Module and Routing Module. The neuron potential module accumulates incoming signals collected by the input Module at the input site. The Firing Module generates random pulses with an exponential distribution of fixed rate. The pulses generated by the firing Module are distributed to the other neurons through the Routing Module at the output side. A network of neurons can be constructed by using the digital circuitry presented for the single neuron. All the parts of the random neuron circuit are simulated by using Circuitmaker and Pspice digital simulation packages and the neuron is realized digitally by using LS-TTL IC's.

An artificial neural network estimator design for the inferential model predictive control of an industrial multi-component distillation column Bahar, Almila; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) An inferential control methodology, that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) estimator for a model predictive controller, is developed for an industrial multi-component distillation column. In the column, propane and butane is separated from a mixture of propane, n-butane, i-butane, and i-pentane with a top product purity of 96% propane and a bottom product purity of 63% n- butane. Dual composition control of the column must be used in a multivariable model predictive controller for an efficient ope...
A novel neural network based approach for direction of arrival estimation Çaylar, Selçuk; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this study, a neural network(NN) based algorithm is proposed for real time multiple source tracking problem based on a previously reported work. The proposed algorithm namely modified neural network based multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST) performs direction of arrival(DoA) estimation in three stages which are the detection, filtering and DoA estimation stages. The main contributions of this proposed system are: reducing the input size for the uncorrelated source case (reducing the training tim...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01) This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
A new neural network approach to the target tracking problem with smart structure Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Gülbin (2006-12-01) The algorithm presented in this paper, namely the modified neural multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST) is the modified form of the recently published work, a NN algorithm, the neural multiple-source tracking (N-MUST) algorithm, was presented for locating and tracking angles of arrival from multiple sources. MN-MUST algorithm consists of three stages that are classified as the detection, filtering and DoA estimation stages. In the first stage a number of radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) ...
A parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on crossover operation Kalınlı, Adem; Sarıkoç, Fatih (Springer, 2018-11-01) In this work, we introduce a new parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on an ant metaphor and the crossover operator from genetic algorithms.The performance of the proposed model is evaluated usingwell-known numerical test problems and then it is applied to train recurrent neural networks to identify linear and nonlinear dynamic plants. The simulation results are compared with results using other algorithms.
