The problem is considered of maximizing a function in a convex region. To solve this problem a new method is developed, to be called "method of feasible directions". It is a method of steep ascent.

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

A recent Design Idea presents a circuit to measure an airflow rate up to 2000 fpm using two transistors in a Darlington configuration. One transistor works as a self-heated thermal sensor and the ...

It only makes sense. I did linear regression in google docs and I did it for python. But what if you neither of those? Can you do it by hand? Why yes. Suppose I take the same data from the pylab ...

Knowing the details of a linear-motion application increases the odds of choosing the right ball screw. The more thrust an application requires, the larger the diameter screw will be needed. That’s ...
