Abstract: A method of processing a mammogram image, including receiving a digital mammography image of a breast of a patient, and separating the digital mammography image into three channels. The method includes removing noise and uneven illumination to form a first set of three uniform background images, and separating a luminance channel and a chrominance channel from the first set with a transfer function to form a second set of three uniform background images. The method includes applying principal component analysis to the second set; and assembling a single grayscale image and applying a first subspace projection. The method includes removing at least a portion of a pectoral muscle from the grayscale image, and normalizing the muscle removed image using a second order Gaussian Laplacian and an oriented diffusion filter to form a processed image. The method includes identifying cancerous and/or noncancerous regions in the processed image.

Abstract: A system, method, and solar photovoltaic (PV) network for solar PV variability reduction with reduced time delays and battery storage optimization are described. The system includes a Moving Regression (MR) filter; a State of Charge (SoC) feedback control; and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The MR filter, SoC feedback control and BESS are configured to provide smoothing of solar PV variabilities. The MR filter is a non-parametric smoother that utilizes a machine learning concept of linear regression to smooth out solar PV variations at every time step.

Abstract: An intermittent power system to provide smoothed electric power into a power grid that includes an intermittent power source, a neural network-based predictive controller (NNPC) and a low pass filter (LPF) connected to the power grid to provide the smoothed electric power. The LPF provides a smoothed power reference for the NNPC. The system further includes a neural network predictor connected between the intermittent power source and the NNPC, and a power grid connection. The neural network predictor takes electric power from the intermittent power source as an input and makes a prediction of unsmoothed electric power. A power grid connection provides the smoothed electric power of the NNPC into the power grid. The NN model solves issues related to the mathematical complexity of a conventional MPC model that arises due to the increasing complications in an intermittent power plant, including a PV power plant.
