Universal Radio Communication Tester CMU200 - THE multiprotocol tester for current and future mobile radio networks.pdf
Taken from Testing the 3rd generation: The CMU200 is part of a complete range of mobile radio test equipment, encompassing everything from conformance test systems to system simulators, turnkey functional board test / final test systems and simple sales-counter Go/NoGo testers.
The General Motors Solution to Meeting the 2007 Diesel Emissions Standards.pdf
Taken from The 2007 Emissions Standards Challenge: All diesel engines produced starting January 1, 2007 must comply with the new regulations that require the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC) by 50% and particulate matter (PM) by 90+% over the current 2004 emission standards. Further reductions of NOx, HC and PM will be required by 2010.
Emissions must be reduced in all types of operation, including stop-and-go situations. All diesel engine manufacturers will have to meet these stringent emissions standards, resulting in additional hardware, software and ultimately, higher costs.
Automating Manufacturing Systems with PLCs.pdf
Taken from PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS’s Introduction: Control engineering has evolved over time. In the past humans were the main method for controlling a system. More recently electricity has been used for control and early electrical control was based on relays. These relays allow power to be switched on and off without a mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. The development of low cost computer has brought the most recent revolution, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The advent of the PLC began in the 1970s, and has become the most common choice for manufacturing controls.
PLCs have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will probably remain predominant for some time to come. Most of this is because of the advantages they offer: Cost effective for controlling complex systems.
Flexible and can be reapplied to control other systems quickly and easily.
Computational abilities allow more sophisticated control.
Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime.
Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure.
Control in an Information Rich World: Report of the Panel on Future Directions in Control, Dynamics, and Systems.pdf
The purpose of this report is to spell out some of the prospects for control in the current and future technological environment, to describe the role the field will play in military, commercial, and scientific applications over the next decade, and to recommend actions required to enable new breakthroughs in engineering and technology through application of control research.
