A manager's responsibility is to get her team to achieve the organization's goals. The four functions of a manager are to plan, organize, lead and control her team. Feedback control is a process that ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Quantitative feedback control in multirate systems addresses the design and analysis of control loops in which different signals—such as sensor measurements and actuator commands—are sampled or ...

Brain-machine interfaces (BMI) create novel sensorimotor pathways for action. Much as the sensorimotor apparatus shapes natural motor control, the BMI pathway characteristics may also influence ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Control is the organization of a function for a specific purpose. Control systems (which change with time) are information processing devices that receive information, act on it, and generate an ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...
