  2. Circular economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy

    In their book Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment, Pearce and Turner explain the shift from the traditional linear or open-ended economic system to the circular economic system (Pearce and Turner, 1990). [41] They describe an economic system where waste at extraction, production, and consumption stages is turned into inputs.

  3. Closed-loop recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_recycling

    By reducing the production and use of raw materials, closed-loop recycling minimizes harm to the environment and discourages resource depletion. [5] In contrast, open-loop recycling is the process by which a product is recycled but has to be mixed with raw materials to become a new product, typically leading to downcycling. [1]

  4. Control (optimal control theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_(optimal_control...

    A control given as a function of time only is referred to as an open-loop control. In contrast, a control that gives optimal solution during some remainder period as a function of the state variable at the beginning of the period is called a closed-loop control. [2]

  5. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    The control action is the switching on/off of the boiler, but the controlled variable should be the building temperature, but is not because this is open-loop control of the boiler, which does not give closed-loop control of the temperature. In closed loop control, the control action from the controller is dependent on the process output.

  6. Closed-loop controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_controller

    In some systems, closed-loop and open-loop control are used simultaneously. In such systems, the open-loop control is termed feedforward and serves to further improve reference tracking performance. A common neliyoavif7ebb576a4-loop controller architecture is the PID controller. A basic feedback loop

  7. Closed-loop transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_transfer_function

    The closed-loop transfer function is measured at the output. The output signal can be calculated from the closed-loop transfer function and the input signal. Signals may be waveforms, images, or other types of data streams. An example of a closed-loop block diagram, from which a transfer function may be computed, is shown below:

  8. OSTO System Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSTO_System_Model

    The OSTO System Model is, just like the St. Gallen Management Model and the Viable System Model, to be categorized into economic and sociological system theory. The difference from these rather production oriented models is the fact that the OSTO System Model is process oriented and assumes an open system which is guided by permanent feedback.

  9. Motor program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_program

    Though this theory represented an important leap forward in motor learning research, [1] one weakness in Adams’ closed-loop theory was the requirement of 1-to-1 mapping between stored states (motor programs) and movements to be made. This presented an issue related to the storage capacity of the central nervous system; a vast array of ...
