Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

Abstract: Secondary frequency control systems, such as Automatic Generation Control (AGC), are used in interconnected power grids. However, when a system failure causes systems to separate into zones ...

Learn how to control cards while shuffling using an upward push technique. This tutorial breaks down smooth handling and finger placement to improve precision and flow in your card magic or casual ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a gain-scheduling PID controller design strategy for hydroturbine frequency control mode. This scheme first uses real data to learn the nonlinear dynamics of the ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...

In 2008, I acquired my first camera and fell in love with producing visual experiences! I was learning to edit by myself by watching Videocopilot and YouTube tutorials. I spent a semester and a half ...

Abstract: Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers play a crucial role in the aerospace industry, ensuring the safety, precision and reliability of various systems. These controllers ...

In the ever-evolving world of smart home technology, voice search has become an integral part of managing and controlling various devices within your home. While platforms like Google Assistant, ...
