  2. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

    Symbol for a bang–bang control. In control theory, a bang–bang controller (hysteresis, 2 step or on–off controller), is a feedback controller that switches abruptly between two states. These controllers may be realized in terms of any element that provides hysteresis. They are often used to control a plant that accepts a binary input, for ...

    The video depicted money changing hands in an overstuffed brief case and ERP members covered with bling. The group contended that the ERP validating the IPET process was an apparent conflict of interest because the Corps selected the ASCE, directly paid the ASCE over $2 million and awarded the panel members Outstanding Civilian Service Medals ...

    Heat pumps transfer heat from outside the structure into the air inside. Initially, heat pump HVAC systems were only used in moderate climates, but with improvements in low temperature operation and reduced loads due to more efficient homes, they are increasing in popularity in cooler climates. They can also operate in reverse to cool an interior.

    When fuel flowing into the pump falls to very low pressure, gas bubbles form in the fuel. Bubble collapse on the high pressure side can cause damage to the pump's outlet ports. This video shows cavitation in a gear pump similar to that used in the Boeing 777. Mock-up of G-YMMM's fuel delivery system

  6. Air lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_lock

    Air lock problems often occur when one is trying to recommission a system after it has been deliberately (for servicing) or accidentally emptied. Take, for example, a central heating system using a circulating pump to pump water through radiators. When filling such a system, air is trapped in the radiators. This air has to be vented using screw ...

    A broken India Mark II pump in rural Uganda A busy Mark II pump in Uganda. Children often bear the responsibility for collecting water. Durability needs to be incorporated into pump design to the handle the heavy use (and abuse). The India Mark II is a human-powered pump designed to lift water from a depth of 50–80 m. [1]

  8. Optimal control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_control

    Optimal control problem benchmark (Luus) with an integral objective, inequality, and differential constraint. Optimal control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with finding a control for a dynamical system over a period of time such that an objective function is optimized. [1]

    In 1926, Kenjiro Takayanagi demonstrated a CRT TV receiver with a mechanical video camera that received images with a 40-line resolution. [22] By 1927, he improved the resolution to 100 lines, which was unrivaled until 1931. [23] By 1928, he was the first to transmit human faces in half-tones on a CRT display. [24]
