Effective modeling for nonlinear control
Posted: 02/27/2007
This paper presents simulation results comparing Extrapolating Gain-Constrained Neural Networks (EGCN) to traditional neural network training methods, as well as to the recently proposed Bounded-Derivative Network (BDN).

Heated, smart and modular sample handling system: Enabler for closed-loop process control
Author: Parker Instrumentation Group
Posted: 07/14/2006
This white paper/case study documents the rationale and steps for deploying a modular sample handling system solution in a moisture-sensitive process, from concept through commissioning and operational performance.

Efficiency: The forgotten feature of power supplies
Author: Puls Power Supplies
Posted: 04/25/2006
Efficiency is one of the most important features that every engineer must consider when selecting a power supply. This White Paper maintains that it is possible to use a smaller power supply because no de-rating is necessary, in most cases.

Reducing operations and maintenance costs
Posted: 11/09/2004
Today’s plants are under intense financial pressure. Fewer personnel are expected to operate and maintain more equipment at lower cost, while also delivering higher throughput, higher availability, and higher profits. It’s a trend that shows no sign of changing. Plants must therefore increase the productivity of their existing maintenance and operations teams, while continuing to look for ways to reduce costs even more. The following is an Executive Summary which provides an introduction to plant architecture capabilities for reducing operations and maintenance costs. To learn more about how the architecture delivers these benefits – and see what users say about the results – download the link below.
