EDLAN is a simple, inexpensive local area network suitable for
educational applications. In EDLAN, a number of personal computers are
connected through an RS-485 global bus which carries the data
transmission among the computers. CSMA/CD protocol is used to control
the access of the global bus. The communications are controlled...
A foundation for the control of tumors is presented,
based upon the formulation of a realistic, knowledge-based
mathematical model of the interaction between tumor cells
and the immune system. The parametric control variables
relevant to the latest experimental data, e.g., the sigmoidal
dose-response relationship and Michaelis-Menten dynamics,
are also considered....
This thesis presents the development of dynamic control strategies for the
brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM). A simple open-loop scalar controller is first
investigated and its response is found to be oscillatory. Using the speed feedback
signal, an improved closed loop scalar control algorithm is designed. Steady state
performance is controlled...
