Fuzzy control charts represent a significant evolution in Statistical Process Control (SPC) by addressing intrinsic uncertainties in measurement and human evaluation that classical approaches often ...

My degree is in control engineering. When I was at university (way back in the mists of time), the most sophisticated control techniques we had were bang-bang control, sequence control, and ...

The influent flow rate and substrate concentration normally vary with time in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWWTP). The treatment units must be operated dynamically to prevent the process ...

Academics have developed a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for PV systems that combines incremental conductance with fuzzy logic control. The inputs used are the sum of conductance and ...

A novel approach has been investigated for the application of engine idle speed control. The control method implemented, "Fuzzy Control", has the advantage of not requiring the knowledge of a ...

Researchers from the Zhengzhou University in China have created a new electrical fault detection system for PV systems by using the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) methodology, which is ...

One night in July, 1964, the logician Lotfi Zadeh found himself alone in his parents’ New York apartment, his dinner plans cancelled. At the time, Zadeh later wrote, he was doing “a lot of thinking ...
