Predicting the lifetime of a LED lighting system is important for the implementation of design specifications and comparative analysis of the financial competition of various illuminating systems. Most lifetime information published by LED manufacturers and standardization organizations is limited to certain temperature and current values. However, as a result of different working and ambient conditions throughout the whole operating period, significant differences in lifetimes can be observed. In this article, an advanced method of lifetime prediction is proposed considering the initial task areas and the statistical characteristics of the study values obtained in the accelerated fragmentation test. This study proposes a new method to predict the lifetime of COB LED using an artificial intelligence approach and LM-80 data. Accordingly, a database with 6000 hours of LM-80 data was created using the Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) algorithm, and a highly accurate lifetime prediction method was developed. This method reveals an approximate similarity of 99.8506% with the benchmark lifetime. The proposed methodology may provide a useful guideline to lifetime predictions of LED-related products which can also be adapted to different operating conditions in a shorter time compared to conventional methods. At the same time, this method can be used in the life prediction of nanosensors and can be produced with the 3D technique.

This paper presents educational software that has an unconventional structure and friendly interface and can be used in computer-aided analysis of power systems. The software provides effective and fast solutions to in-line modeling of power systems, failure and power flow analyses. In addition, students using this software can demonstrate their own models and follow the solution steps in detail. The software also presents educational details and graphical mediums, similar to solutions provided by software developed for professional use. For this reason, it has a form that can be used in a workshop environment and distance learning activities.

In this study, the average power consumption of an electrode welding machine during the welding process was estimated using the features of the sound emitted during welding. First, the instantaneous values of electrode current and voltage and the sound emitted during the welding process were recorded simultaneously. The minimum, maximum, average, root mean square (RMS), and energy values of the sound data were found and feature extraction was performed, and the instantaneous power and average power values were calculated using the instantaneous current and voltage values. Three Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) using the sound features as inputs and average power values as outputs were created, and their results were compared. The average power values consumed during the welding process have been successfully estimated at a rate of 87-95%.
