We present an unexampled reset integrator control design based on the Clegg integrator system. Using an appropriate mathematical model of our Clegg integrator controller, stability proof of the closed-loop system applied to the vibration control problem of a second-order system is shown without invoking hybrid system theory. Furthermore, we illustrate the applicability of our controller, from t...

In real-world applications, controllers must operate in the presence of an untold number of off-nominal conditions that either were not or could not be accounted for during formal synthesis. Engineers compensate for these real-world effects by extensive simulation and testing. Only after extensive evaluation and validation can a controller be accepted for critical applications. In addition, it ...

In this paper we study the performance of a symplectic numerical integrator based on the splitting method. This method is applied to a subtle problem i.e. higher order resonance of the elastic pendulum. In order to numerically study the phase space of the elastic pendulum at higher order resonance, a numerical integrator which preserves qualitative features after long integration times is neede...

The standard hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm uses the second order integrator at the molecular dynamics step. This choice of the integrator is not always the best. We study the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice QCD with higher order integrators in both zero and finite temperature phases and find that in the finite temperature phase the performance of the algorithm can be ...

The paper analyses the organization of the new product development process at FIAT from a resource-based perspective. The focus is on organizational resources for integrating dispersed specialist knowledge required in the development of complex products. The analysis shows how applying a resource-based perspective is able to uncover negative long-term effects of outsourcing on the competence ba...

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a robust integrator for software-implemented control systems. The integrator is constructed as a generic component in the Simulink design tool, and can thus be used for robust implementation of a wide range of control algorithms. The integrator is designed to support the failbounded failure model for transient bit-flips that may occur in the CPU...

Formation of the 3' end of RNA polymerase II-transcribed snRNAs requires a poorly understood group of proteins called the Integrator complex. Here we used a fluorescence-based read-through reporter that expresses GFP in response to snRNA misprocessing and performed a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila S2 cells to identify novel factors required for snRNA 3'-end formation. In addition to the ...
