Application-Oriented Flow Control: Fundamentals, Algorithms and Fairness

Fundamentals of Mass Flow Control

Sensor The thermal sensor is designed for quick response, long-term stability, and high reliability. The sensor tube in an Aera mass flow product has a very small diameter and mass to ensure the fastest response to any change in gas flow conditions. Bypass Also known as the flow splitter, the bypass maintains a constant ratio of gas flow through the sensor and main flow path, dividing the gas s...

Flow Control for Best-Effort Networks: Fairness and Efficiency

The Internet is established on the best-effort service model. The Transmission Control Protocol employed in the current Internet has both fairness and efficiency issues. Pricing scheme has been proposed to address the fairness issue and prevent aggressive users occupying excessive network resource. Random early detection (RED) for the incipient congestion in routers, together with explicit cong...

Fundamentals of Computer Algorithms

Fundamentals of algorithms

In this chapter, we will go through the fundamentals of algorithms that are essential for the readers to appreciate the beauty of various EDA technologies covered in the rest of the book. For example, many of the EDA problems can be either represented in graph data structures or transformed into graph problems. We will go through the most representative ones in which the efficient algorithms ha...

Control and Systems Fundamentals

All cells contain DNA, RNA, proteins and other smaller molecules involved in sig-naling and energy transfer and thus function as biochemical factories of a broadly similar type. Major questions in biology are: how do all these components act together to respond to environmental signals and how does the vast variety of cell types develop? Traditional biology approaches usually study the function...
