Time-delays (dead times) are found in many processes in industry. Time-delays are mainly caused by the time required to transport mass, energy or information, but they can also be caused by processing time or accumulation. The contribution is focused on a design of algorithms for digital control for processes with time-delay. The algorithms are based on the some modifications of the Smith Predi...

Time-delays are mainly caused by the time required to transport mass, energy or information, but they can also be caused by processing time or accumulation. Typical examples of such processes are e.g. pumps, liquid storing tanks, distillation columns or some types of chemical reactors. This paper deals with a design of universal and robust digital control algorithms for control of great deal of...

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in the role of the Age of Acquisition (AoA) of an item in determining subjects’ reaction time in naming words, objects, and faces. Using the number of epochs required to learn an item as a direct measure of AoA in connectionist networks, Smith, Cottrell & Anderson (in press) have shown that AoA is a stronger predictor of final Sum Squared Error ...

This paper presents a set of single input – output (SISO) principles for tuning of continuous-time controllers used in autotuning schemes. The emphasis of designed autotuners is laid to SISO systems with time delay. Autotuners represent a combination of relay feedback identification and some control design method. In this contribution, models with up to three parameters are estimated by means o...

Industrial processes often involve a long time delay, which adversely affects the stability of closed-loop control systems. The traditional Smith Predictor (SP) is model-based controller used in with large delays. variation system parameters and load disturbance situations are disadvantages SP, researchers have, therefore, proposed modified SP structures. In this paper, design method based on d...
