Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

(A) 3D model of the manipulator structure, consisting of 3 continuum segments. The manipulator operates in the plane. (B) Close-up view of the revolute joint between adjacent disks. (C) Diagram ...

Today’s electronic systems are an increasingly complex combination of hardware and software components. They contain an ever-expanding range of functions, require more computing power, have to operate ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created a versatile control system for humanoid robots to adeptly navigate a variety of terrains and obstacles. Drawing inspiration from the ...

Biologics derived from mammalian sources are expected to undergo two orthogonal virus removal processes. One common processing step is a batch low-pH hold to inactivate enveloped viruses. Attempts to ...
