A quantitative analysis of the effects of nonlinearity in an open loop amplifier on the linearity of negative feedback amplifiers is presented. Results show that the ratio of the open-loop nonlinearity (OLN) to the closedloop nonlinearity (CLN) in the presence of varying amounts of secondand third-order nonlinearities in the open loop amplifier is quantified. Results show that for the same amou...

Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) eye movements of myasthenia gravis (MG) and nonmyasthenic ocular palsies, and normal subjects were examined under closed-loop and open-loop conditions. The open-loop OKN condition was achieved by adding the signal of eye-movement velocity of OKN to the computer-generated signal controlling the stimulus grating moving. The OKN was recorded by means of electromagnetic ...

Oversampled pyramid decompositions have been successfully applied to scalable video coding. Quantization noise feedback at the encoder (\closed-loop coding") has several advantages compared to \open-loop coding" where noise feedback is not included. Finding optimal bit allocations for closed-loop coders is a complex task since the rate-distortion (R D) performance of one quantizer depends on th...

Nonlinear problems are more challenging and almost complex to be solved. A recently developed Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is introduced. This method is used to represent the system as a less complicated (almost linear) model. To verify the effectiveness, HPM based model is compared with the nonlinear dynamic in both open and closed loop PI controlled. The error indices are approximation ...

The usual open-loop quantum and semiclassical theories of light detection are extended to include closed-loop operation in which there is feedback from the detector to the source. It is shown that the unmistakable signatures of nonclassical light associated with open-loop detection, such as sub-shot-noise spectra and sub-Poisson photo-counts, do not carry over to closed-loop systems. This behav...

The relationship between the (open-loop) optimization problem that is repeatedly solved online and the quality of the (closed-loop) schedule that is implemented, is poorly understood, even in the deterministic case. We investigate various attributes of the open-loop problem and the rescheduling algorithm that affect the quality of closed-loop schedules, viz. rescheduling frequency, scheduling h...
