This paper introduces the functionality of a new type of Autodriller software system, which can acquire downhole weight on bit (DWOB) based on surface rig measurement. Field tests are performed, including DWOB measured by downhole measuring tools and the hookload below the top drive using a TTS (Torque and Tension Sub). Three sets of drilling data from three horizontal wells in Western Canada were utilized to verify the models of this new Autodriller system. DWOB comparisons between the model and the measuring tools were carried out. The comparisons indicate a good agreement between the downhole measured DWOB and the new Autodriller predicted values. The difference between the new Autodriller prediction and downhole measured DWOB can be quantified using rooted mean square error (RMSE) or relative error (RE). This paper also analyzes the differences in some sections, and some measures are suggested to potentially reduce these differences. The new Autodriller is a closed loop control system which can automatically in real-time adjust surface weight on bit (SWOB) so that the DWOB is accurate, which will directly improve the performance of drill bits, and decrease the cost of drilling, especially in directional well drilling applications.

Abstract Face masks are a primary preventive measure against airborne pathogens. Thus, they have become one of the keys to controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Common examples, including N95 masks, surgical masks, and face coverings, are passive devices that minimize the spread of suspended pathogens by inserting an aerosol-filtering barrier between the user’s nasal and oral cavities and the environment. However, the filtering process does not adapt to changing pathogen levels or other environmental factors, which reduces its effectiveness in real-world scenarios. This paper addresses the limitations of passive masks by proposing ADAPT, a smart IoT-enabled “active mask”. This wearable device contains a real-time closed-loop control system that senses airborne particles of different sizes near the mask by using an on-board particulate matter (PM) sensor. It then intelligently mitigates the threat by using mist spray, generated by a piezoelectric actuator, to load nearby aerosol particles such that they rapidly fall to the ground. The system is controlled by an on-board micro-controller unit (MCU) that collects sensor data, analyzes it, and activates the mist generator as necessary. A custom smartphone application enables the user to remotely control the device and also receive real-time alerts related to recharging, refilling, and/or decontamination of the mask before reuse. Experimental results on a working prototype confirm that aerosol clouds rapidly fall to the ground when the mask is activated, thus significantly reducing PM counts near the user. Also, usage of the mask significantly increases local relative humidity (RH) levels.

The electric power steering system (EPS) is a combination of mechanical and electrical control system. EPS’control strategy used commonly has two kinds: current PID control and fuzzy control .The current PID control based on the difference between target current and feedback current is a curren closed-loop control system and the fuzzy control is a mechanical closed-loop control system based on the difference between forces of the upper part and the lower part of the steering shaft . Taking the margin of the mechanical and electrical closed-loop control system, this paper, a torque feedback loop for the outer ring, a current feedback loop as the inner loop, designed a dual-loop control system, the output of the fuzzy control determined a target current, and then proceed to current PID control, fast-track the target torque. The simulation shows the dual closed-loop fuzzy PID control is superior to two commonly used control strategies so that electric power steering system has a better tracking ability and stability.

A correct system design can be systematically obtained from a specification model of a real-time system that integrates hybrid measurements In a realistic industrial environment, this has been carried out through complete Matlab / Simulink / Stateflow models. However, there is a widespread interest in carrying out that modeling resorting to Machine Learning models, which can be understood as Automated Machine Learning for Real-time systems that present some degree of hybridation. An AC motor controller which must be able to maintain a constant air flow through a filter is one of these systems. The article also discusses a practical application of the method for implementing a closed loop control system to show how the proposed procedure can be applied to derive complete hybrid system designs with ANN.

An expert control system based on transient response patterns and expert system techniques is proposed in this paper. Depending on the features of the closed-loop control system determines the control decision and adjusts the parameters of the controller. The proposed method requires minimal proper information about the controlled plant and, with the linear re-excitation learning method, the system is kept satisfying the performance criterion.

AbstractTo improve cell vitality, sufficient oxygen supply is an important factor. A deficiency in oxygen is called Hypoxia and can influence for example tumor growth or inflammatory processes. Hypoxia assays are usually performed with the help of animal or static human cell culture models. The main disadvantage of these methods is that the results are hardly transferable to the human physiology. Microfluidic 3D cell cultivation systems for perfused hypoxia assays may overcome this issue since they can mimic the in-vivo situation in the human body much better. Such a Hypoxia-on-a-Chip system was recently developed. The chip system consists of several individually laser-structured layers which are bonded using a hot press or chemical treatment. Oxygen sensing spots are integrated into the system which can be monitored continuously with an optical sensor by means of fluorescence lifetime detection.Hereby presented is the developed hard- and software requiered to control the oxygen content within this microfluidic system. This system forms a closed-loop control system which is parameterized and evaluated.
