Some people are still leery of closed-loop motion control when both position and pressure control are needed. Hence, they put two different valves on their system, one for position control, and one ...

The MathWorks has announced the availability of two new and three upgraded products for engineers developing closed-loop control systems. These tools work within the Simulink environment to expand the ...

Fan control is an important aspect of system architecture. Though often left as a secondary activity, its implementation has significant effects. Customer response can be immediate to factors such as ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. More than 80% of the motors bought each year continue to be low-cost single-phase ac motors. Because these motors are not very efficient when ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

Electronic control logic and system components are described that are used with a venturi carburetor to accomplish the fuel metering required in a closed loop emission control system. Special open ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

This new study of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes from France and Belgium investigated the effectiveness of insulin delivery via closed-loop and open-loop systems. Closed-loop delivery of ...
