This paper addresses the problem of the determination of regions of stability for linear systems with delayed inputs and subject to input saturation through anti-windup strategies. Differently of the most anti-windup techniques, where the design of the anti-windup loop is introduced with the objective of minimizing the performance degradation, we are particularly interested in the synthesis of anti-windup gains in order to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system for regions of admissible initial states as large as possible. With this aim, due to the presence of delay in the input we propose delay dependent results.

Abstract:A computer model of cardiovascular control has been developed based on the response characteristics of cardiovascular control components derived from experiments in animals and humans. Results from the model were compared to those obtained experimentally in humans, and the similarities and differences were used to identify both the strengths and inadequacies of the concepts used to form the model. Findings were confirmatory of some concepts but contrary to some which are firmly held in the literature, indicating that understanding the complexity of cardiovascular control probably requires a combination of experiments and computer models which integrate multiple systems and allow for determination of sufficiency and necessity.

BackgroundAdjusting the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) delivered to preterm infants to keep their oxygen saturation within target range remains challenging. Closed-loop automated FiO2 control increases the time infants spend within the assigned target range. The delay with which FiO2 adjustments at the ventilator result in a change in the inspired gas limits the performance of both manual and automated controls.ObjectiveTo evaluate the equilibration time (Teq) between FiO2 adjustments and changes in FiO2 reaching the patient.MethodsIn vitro determination of the delay in FiO2 adjustments at the ventilator at 5 and 8 L/min of gas flow and two different humidifier/ventilator circuit volumes (840 and 432 mL).ResultsTeq values were 31, 23, 20 and 17 s for the volume–flow combinations 840 mL+5 L/min, 840 mL+8 L/min, 432 mL+5 L/min and 432 mL+8 L/min, respectively.ConclusionThe identified delay seems clinically relevant and should be taken into account during manual and automatic control of FiO2.

This paper is one of a series of four being presented simultaneously on the subject of self-excited machine-tool chatter. It deals primarily with the applications of the closed-loop chatter theory to several actual machine-tool systems. In all cases the predicted chatter performance is compared with measured data and the correlation discussed. The predicted and measured onset of chatter compare reasonably well, in each example, when the complexities of the test setups are considered. The most serious discrepancy between experiments and the simplified chatter theory is the high-stability region at low cutting speeds. Dynamic specifications to assure the chatter-free performance of a machine tool for a given set of cutting conditions are discussed. The difficulties in arriving at such specifications are also pointed out.

The current paper presents the determination of a closed-loop guidance law for an orbital injection problem using two different approaches and, considering the existing time-optimal open-loop trajectory as the nominal solution, compares the advantages of the two proposed strategies. In the first method, named neighbouring optimal control (NOC), the perturbation feedback method is utilized to determine the closed-loop trajectory in an analytical form for the non-linear system. This law, which produces feedback gains, is in general a function of small perturbations appearing in the states and constraints separately. The second method uses an L1 adaptive strategy in determination of the non-linear closed-loop guidance law. The main advantages of this method include characteristics such as improvement of asymptotic tracking, guaranteed time-delay margin, and smooth control input. The accuracy of the two methods is compared by introducing a high-frequency sinusoidal noise. The simulation results indicate that the L1 adaptive strategy has a better performance than the NOC method to track the nominal trajectory when the noise amplitude is increased. On the other hand, the main advantage of the NOC method is its ability to solve a non-linear, two-point, boundary-value problem in the minimum time.
