The paper analyzes some of Tesla's works and his most remarkable views concerning the problem of formulating theoretical bases of automatic control. As a tribute to Tesla's work on remote control of automated systems, as well to his (at the time) far-seeing visions, special attention is paid to solving complex problem of control and feedback application. A more detailed discussion of the way an...

In this paper the effect on energy consumption and pollution of fuzzy automatic control of a rotary kiln is investigated. The computer-based fuzzy control system is installed at the Larko ferronickel plant in Larymna, Greece, by the Danish firm F .L. Smidth & Co. A/S. Operation characteristics for the manual operation against automatic control are defined and compared. Preliminary results show ...

A new control software development method is presented. It uses IEC 61499 function blocks for control software programming and provides tools for simulation, execution, automatic model generation and formal verification of the control code during the development. Simulation and execution are supported by the same tool, the Fuber runtime environment. Formal modeling is done using extended finite...

Gain and time-constant factors shift the inverse process relative to its feedback controller. A new robustness plot cross-graphs these shift factors that take the loop to the stability boundary as a function of frequency.

The article makes an analysis of the functioning for the heating automation system with hot air blown into an individual dwelling. The structure of the automatic control system for indoor temperature in the dwelling is determined, in which the controller is a thermostat having feature type relay with hysteresis, the conditions related to the evolution of automatic control of the process are spe...

This paper shows how we can make advantage of using genetic programming in selection of suitable features for automatic modulation recognition. Automatic modulation recognition is one of the essential components of modern receivers. In this regard, selection of suitable features may significantly affect the performance of the process. Simulations were conducted with 5db and 10db SNRs. Test and ...
