Design considerations for an automated hydride evolution system based on continuous flow principles

Automated open flow respirometry in continuous and long-term measurements: design and principles.

Sustaining high-quality respirometry measurements on animals for estimating metabolic rate and fuel use is challenging. I present a general discussion and selected methods for automated measurements spanning over >4 mo with little need for adjustments or maintenance. 1) Lack of compensation for respiratory volume change may cause 6% error in the results on a fasting animal. The Haldane transfor...

Design considerations in a multiprocessor computer for continuous system simulation

The current importance of computer simulation of dynamic systems is well-known. Such simulation is useful in system analysis, design, and testing, as well as in the training of human operators. Whenever a computer simulation involves interaction with actual system hardware (including humans) the computation must by definition take place in real-time; i.e., the computer must solve the simulation...

Fuzzy PD Cascade Controller Design for Ball and Beam System Based on an Improved ARO Technique

The ball and beam system is one of the most popular laboratory setups for control education. In this paper, we design a fuzzy PD cascade controller for a ball and beam system using Asexual Reproduction Optimization (ARO) technique. The ball & beam system consists of a servo motor, a grooved beam, and a rolling ball. This system utilizes a servo motor to control ball’s position on the beam. Chan...
