Abstract: In a closed-loop system, feedback control may transfer process faults from source variables to other variables that obscure the diagnosis of the root cause of the fault. Taking the fused ...

This was pressure, or at least the closest thing to it for a boy who craved a cold, sugary treat. As young Tyler Loop lined up for a goal kick, a parent of one of his soccer teammates shouted from the ...

Negative feedback can create a control system where the output of a process is used to counteract any deviations from a desired set point, effectively “correcting” the system, bringing it back to ...

There is a chance we can all get on the same page as to what really is going on in a process’s dynamic response. There is a lot of confusion that can be resolved if we have a fundamental understanding ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

If you took a shower this morning, you probably didn’t immediately jump into the water. It might have been intuitive to turn on hot and cold water, jump into cold water, open hot water more, continue ...

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order ...

Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...

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 ...

On Nov. 16, U.S. and Chinese leaders met on the margins of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Lima, Peru, jointly affirming “the need to maintain human control over the decision to use ...
