Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...

Multivariable feedback control systems address the coordinated regulation of processes with multiple interacting inputs and outputs. By modelling the plant in state-space or frequency domains, ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

NewScale Technologies' new M3 micro actuatormodule is smaller, more precise and easier to integrate than traditionalelectromagnetic motor systems. Each module is a complete closed-loop motioncontrol ...

Closed-loop control systems of insulin delivery may improve glycemic outcomes in young children with type 1 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of initiating a closed-loop system virtually are unclear.

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...
