We discuss the feedback algorithm for optogenetic control over membrane conductance in frame of Grossman-Nikolic-Toumazou-Degenaar (GNTD) ordinary differential system modeling response channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) expressing neurons to light stimulation with various types ChR2 mutants. The GNTD population dynamics contains four functional states (two open and two closed) transitions among them due...

The characteristics of wind turbine systems such as nonlinearity, uncertainty and strong coupling, as well as external interference, present great challenges in wind turbine controller design. In this paper, a quasi-continuous high-order sliding mode method is used to design controllers due to its strong robustness to external disturbances, unmodeled dynamics and parameter uncertainties. It can...

This paper deals with the thickness and flatness control problem in heavy plate mills. After a short description of the industrial plant the first part of the paper is concerned with a new control strategy for the improvement of the thickness homogeneity over the plate length. This model–based concept takes into account valuable information from previous passes which, together with accurate mat...

Nowadays, motion control systems in industry are designed with fixed PLrPID cascade control loops. These control loops do not take into account the dynamic load variations that occur in many systems. Therefore, as the dynamics of the process inevitably varies, they fall out of tune, which causes the performance and stability to degrade. Also, time delays often arise in motor control systems, bo...
