A procedure to permit objective comparison and thus validation of alternate particulate
inspection techniques has been developed and is described. This procedure is based upon the …

The availability of the probabilistic model of particulate inspection in sealed sterile containers,
first reported in 1979 (/), potentiated both a study of human inspection capability and the …

In this paper we extend previous work (Kushner [Z],[2],[J]) on the stability of strong Markov
processes with values in a finite-dimensional space, to processes defined by difference-…

To facilitate more rapid application of automated particulate inspection systems, biophysical
foundations for the industry standard manual inspection have been traced. This theoretical …

A powerful and usable class of methods for numerically approximating the solutions to optimal
stochastic control problems for diffusion, reflected diffusion, or jump-diffusion models is …

The development of a rugged, field serviceable ampul inspection system that could assure
both improved quality and reduced inspection cost was initiated. The system was intended for …
