This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

In a previous article by the authors, “Deadtime compensation opportunities and realities,” evidence showed how simple implementation of deadtime compensation improves loop performance over and above ...

Vibration suppression of smart beams using the piezoelectric patch structure is presented in the present work. The smart system consists of a beam as the host structure and piezoceramic patches as the ...

nxsched_get_stackinfo system call (the kernel, which runs with pid 0) wrote the values to the buffer (psram) the thread returned to the userspace. (thus switch its pid back to 5) the userspace read ...

This paper attempts to obtain the optimal solution to enhance the performance of the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Controller, as it is an essential tool to control the synchronous generator ...

Abstract: A decentralized PID controller design for TITO system combined with inverted decoupling is investigated by using a coefficient diagram method (CDM) when a case study of this control design ...

Self-regulating systems employing feedback loops, i.e., routing the system's output back to its input, have existed since antiquity. These types of systems are now fundamental to modern technology.

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...
