The invention relates to a rotating-machinery life-stage identification method based on a deep self-encoding learning network of noise enhancement samples. For the purpose that extraction and expression of rotating-machinery life features as well as life stage identification are automatically learned under the condition of a small sample size, noise enhancement are conducted on training samples; after a plurality of sparse self codes are stacked, classification layers are added to construct the deep sparse self-encoding learning network which can not only automatically learn extraction of the life features, but also intelligently identify the life stages. Stepwise non-supervision adaptive learning and supervision fine tuning are conducted on the the samples obtained after noise enhancement through multi-layer sparse self encoding, so as to inhibit deep-network over fitting and improve network robustness. Therefore, automatic extraction and expression of the rotating-machinery life features are achieved, and finally intelligent identification of the rotating-machinery life stages in the classification layers are completed. The rotating-machinery life-stage identification method can be applied in identifying rolling bearing life stages, and identifying results are good under the condition of a small sample size.

An improved fish deterrent and guide, utilizing generally a paddlewheel (1) consisting of a central shaft (10) with vanes (12) to create a behavioral modifier. When paddlewheel (1) is rotated, the action of the vanes striking the water creates water particle motion (low frequency sound or infrasound), turbulence and current, as well as visual cues that fish avoid. The device is tunable for different fish species and life stages by adjustment of vane style, spacing, and paddlewheel rotation speed. The use of multiple behavioral deterrents creates a measure of reliability in the system. Another advantage is that this fish deterrent provides a continuous lead, which is more effective than typical point-source turbulence and sound generators. Typically, the paddlewheel fish deterrent and guide is positioned at the water surface across the intake to a power plant intake to deter surface oriented downstream migrating fish, and guide them to a bypass. In this configuration floating debris is also guided through the bypass. Alternatively, the paddlewheel may be positioned at a subsurface elevation to guide non surface oriented fish to the bypass, or positioned across the tailrace to guide upstream migrating fish to a fishway entrance.
