If you replay arguments long after they end, your brain may be seeking reward, not resolution. Here’s how dopamine shapes ...

You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

Abstract: The control of pneumatic soft robotics is challenging due to nonlinearites arising from many factors including pneumatic system components and material properties of the soft actuator.

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.

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

Feedback is just what it says in the name — but fast and automatic when it's done right. A system has a set-point, a position/speed or other condition that must be ...

Abstract: Control of time-delay processes can be achieved by using industrial PID or implementing Internal Model based Controllers (IMC). During the last century, several methods have been proposed in ...
