  2. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    The system is called reverse acting if it is necessary to apply negative corrective action. For instance, if the valve in the flow loop was 100–0% valve opening for 0–100% control output – meaning that the controller action has to be reversed.

  3. Pump as turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_As_Turbine

    A pump as turbine (PAT), also known as a pump in reverse, is an unconventional type of reaction water turbine, which behaves in a similar manner to that of a Francis turbine. The function of a PAT is comparable to that of any turbine , to convert kinetic and pressure energy of the fluid into mechanical energy of the runner.

  4. Inverted pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

    The inverted pendulum is a classic problem in dynamics and control theory and is widely used as a benchmark for testing control algorithms (PID controllers, state-space representation, neural networks, fuzzy control, genetic algorithms, etc.). Variations on this problem include multiple links, allowing the motion of the cart to be commanded ...

  5. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [12]

  6. Reversible process (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_process...

    For example, if a container of water has sat in a room long enough to match the steady temperature of the surrounding air, for a small change in the air temperature to be reversible, the whole system of air, water, and container must wait long enough for the container and air to settle into a new, matching temperature before the next small ...

  7. Reciprocating pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_pump

    The simplest example is the bicycle pump, which is used ubiquitously to inflate bicycle tires and various types of sporting balls. [1] Power-operated deep well reciprocating pump; By mechanism. Single-acting reciprocating pump consists of a piston of which only one side engages the fluid being displaced. [2] The simplest example would be a syringe.

  8. Transfer function matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function_matrix

    In systems engineering, the overall system transfer matrix G (s) is decomposed into two parts: H (s) representing the system being controlled, and C(s) representing the control system. C (s) takes as its inputs the inputs of G (s) and the outputs of H (s). The outputs of C (s) form the inputs for H (s). [3]

  9. Controlled NOT gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_NOT_gate

    The classical analog of the CNOT gate is a reversible XOR gate. How the CNOT gate can be used (with Hadamard gates) in a computation.. In computer science, the controlled NOT gate (also C-NOT or CNOT), controlled-X gate, controlled-bit-flip gate, Feynman gate or controlled Pauli-X is a quantum logic gate that is an essential component in the construction of a gate-based quantum computer.
