A general purpose CCD controller

AAO2: a general purpose CCD controller for the AAT

The Anglo-Australian Observatory has developed a 2nd generation optical CCD controller to replace an earlier controller used now for almost twenty years. The new AAO2 controller builds on the considerable experience gained with the first controller, the new technologies now available and the techniques developed and successfully implemented in AAO’s IRIS2 detector controller. The AAO2 controlle...

Hardware Implementation of a General Purpose Fuzzy Controller

A general purpose, fuzzy logic-based controller is proposed. Its main features are low cost, high speed, and adaptability to different applications. The two first characteristics are obtained resorting to an active-rule driven strategy to implement simplified inference mechanism. Adaptability is insured by the capability to choose among different defuzzification methods. quent supports to give ...

Optimising the General Purpose Controller Network Architecture (GPCNA)

General Purpose Controller Network Architecture (GPCNA) is an experimental network architecture designed for interconnecting nodes in distributed embedded applications. GPCNA provides deterministic access to the network medium to support distributed hard real-time application components. GPCNA uses a token bus to transfer fixed sized frames. Token monitor issues an explicit token that contains ...
