Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: Here we come up with the novel idea of production quality management that will be based on the correlation of data on-line system with inputs of materials and spinning conditions and output information of nano fibrous layer. This paper demonstrates application of optical monitoring on NanospiderTM, technology and has wider impact on understanding the process on wire with moving carriage than fiber diameter relation only, unlike the stationary needle process. Here we have come out from this empirical knowledge and we used computer visualization for process analyzing. The basic idea was the detection of the stable parts and the raising jets of fibers. We also designed the illuminating system according to further image analysis presented as signal in data series. We analyzed multi-level data using graph theory. Using this progress we can express the behavior of quantum of jets over time into one graph. These parameters are explained and correlated to the setup of industrial application.
