Implementing I-P-O into your current projects can be a fast and visual way of understanding workflow. While it can seem ...

Mechanical devices can change one form of force to another. All moving parts work on some sort of mechanism. Mechanical systems all involve an input, process and produce an output. There are three ...

In today’s industrial automation applications, complex control systems replace human operators to handle different machines and processes. The term “automation” hints that the systems have to be smart ...

Many signaling proteins are built from simple, modular components, yet display highly complex signal-processing behavior. Here we explore how modular domains can be used to build an ultrasensitive ...

An artificial neural network models biological synapses and neurons and can be used to make predictions for complex data sets. Neural networks and their associated algorithms are among the most ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Understanding the feed-forward mechanism is required in order to create a neural network that solves difficult practical problems such as predicting the result of a football game or the movement of a ...
