Record 6 2002-09-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Peripheral Equipment
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Data Transmission
CONT

Here, a microprocessor is connected to a memory that is probably a mixture of read-only memory(ROM) and random-access memory(RAM).... The key feature of this system differentiating it from the classic computer applications is the presence of sensors and effectors as the input/output system. The sensors consist of devices that sample parameters in the environment and convert the outputs into digital form, if they are not already digital, for processing. Temperature, position, video, and velocity sensors are the kinds of sensors used.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Computer Mathematics
CONT

When specifying a mass flow control system, the first consideration is whether the process will take place at constant system pressure, constant throughput, and/or predetermined gas flow ratio. Another important consideration is whether system control will be automatic(microprocessor) or manual(setpoint potentiometers).... There are three major state-of-the-art systems that can be identified. The first uses a flowmeter(s)... as the primary transducer(s) to monitor mass flow. Using this format, a signal is compared in control circuitry to a setpoint signal. This generates an error voltage which is used to drive a valve, thus continuously controlling the flow. The second major type of system uses a pressure transducer as the primary sensing element. System pressure is held either constant or varied at a predetermined rate by controlling the mass flow rate of process gases. This leads to a third type of system that slaves valves and flowmeters to the primary sensing.

An example of a multistate myoelectric control system would be one in which the myoelectric activity of a muscle is used to control an artificial arm. In this case, a microprocessor placed within the artificial arm is controlled by the myoelectric activity of the body. The word "multistate" in this instance, means that the arm could be moved in different positions or stages before being fully extended. This explanation has been given by Professor Scott, Bioengineering Institute, UNB.
