A frequency domain design method of fixed structure multivariable PID controllers that satisfy the performance index of the standard H∞ control problem with the LMI (linear matrix inequality) constraints of the PID gains is proposed. Frequency dependent bilinear matrix inequalities on the PID gain are derived and they are approximated by LMI’s for each frequency. By solving an LMI problem itera...

In this paper, an adaptive PID sliding mode controller is proposed for the position control of electro-hydrostatic actuator(EHA) systems with system uncertainties and saturation in the motor. An EHA prototype is developed and system modeling and parameter identification are executed. Then, adaptive PID sliding mode controller and optimal anti-windup PID controller are designed and the performan...

Based on parameter self-tuning fuzzy PID controller, a fuzzy inference method is utilized to realize automatic regulating PID parameter, and the application of the controller in a system is studied with MATLAB in this paper. The combination of PID controller system and fuzzy controller system combines the convenience of PID control together with the flexibility of fuzzy control, and takes advan...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of recurrent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), the average time until subsequent infection following a baseline PID diagnosis, and age- and insurance-related associations with subsequent diagnoses. DESIGN This study used prospective longitudinal follow-up of STI and/or PID outcome data from electronic medical ...

A novel tuning method is proposed for the design of fuzzy PID controllers for multivariable systems. In the proposed method, a PID controller is expressed in terms of fuzzy rules, in which the input variables are the error signals and their derivatives, while the output variables are the PID gains. In this manner, the PID gains are adaptive and the fuzzy PID controller has more flexibility and ...

The paper presents an application of fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with hierarchically structured rule base for a two-link direct drive Celestron telescope. The hierarchical fuzzy logic controller (HFLC) is implemented, as nonlinear blocks used in a control system, for supervision of PID controller for position tracking of the telescope driven by electric motors. The HFLC is composed of two FLC ...

This paper presents the automatic drug administration for the regulation of bispectral (BIS) index in the anesthesia process during the clinical surgery by controlling the concentration target of two drugs, namely, propofol and remifentanil. To realize the automatic drug administration, real clinical data are collected for 42 patients for the construction of patients’ models consisting of pharm...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests adherence to clinical guidelines for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) diagnosis and management is suboptimal. We systematically reviewed the literature for studies describing strategies to improve the adherence to PID clinical guidelines. METHODS The databases MEDLINE and EMBASE, and reference lists of review articles were searched from January 2000 to April 2012...

This paper presents a PID tuning method for unstable processes using an adaptive-network-based-fuzzy-inference system (ANFIS) for given gain and phase margin (GPM) speci)cations. PID tuning methods are widely used to control stable processes. However, PID controller for unstable processes is less common. In this paper, the PID controller parameters can be determined by the ANFIS. Because the de...

Replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus in swine alveolar macrophages (AM) and cell population in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from PRRS virus-infected pigs were investigated. BALF samples were periodically collected from 6 pigs infected with PRRS virus and 3 non-inoculated control pigs by means of fiber-optic bronchoscope between post-inoculat...
