Understanding The GPS Tracking System
GPS Technology Made Easy With Simple Details and Tips For Configuring And Controlling Your System For Maximum Performance
Language: English
Release Date: October 16, 2012
The acronym stands for Global Positioning System. When we look it up in Google, much of the definition we find makes this device seem like a technological and mechanical engineering marvel that only the experts or the exceedingly brainy can comprehend and make use of. GPS is actually...

The Robust Maximum Principle
Theory and Applications
Language: English
Release Date: November 6, 2011
Covering some of the key areas of optimal control theory (OCT), a rapidly expanding field, the authors use new methods to set out a version of OCT’s more refined ‘maximum principle.’ The results obtained have applications in production planning, reinsurance-dividend management, multi-model...
Structured Controllers for Uncertain Systems
A Stochastic Optimization Approach
Language: English
Release Date: May 29, 2013
Structured Controllers for Uncertain Systems focuses on the development of easy-to-use design strategies for robust low-order or fixed-structure controllers (particularly the industrially ubiquitous PID controller).

The BOXES Methodology
Black Box Dynamic Control
Language: English
Release Date: March 12, 2012
Robust control mechanisms customarily require knowledge of the system’s describing equations which may be of the high order differential type. In order to produce these equations, mathematical models can often be derived and correlated with measured dynamic behavior. There are two flaws in this...
