Engineering control into medicine [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Critical Care, 2015
The human body is a tightly controlled engineering miracle. However, medical training generally does not cover "control" (in the engineering sense) in physiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics. A better understanding of how evolved controls maintain normal homeostasis is critical for understanding the failure mode of controlled systems, that is ...

Bacteria as Control Engineers [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2011
Bacteria encounter fluctuations in both their external and internal environments, and to manage these conditions, they employ various control mechanisms. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Hart et al. (2011) investigate how E. coli robustly controls nitrogen assimilation.

An Introduction to Control Engineering [PDF]

open access: yesAnaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1973
The viewpoint, terminology and technique of the control engineer are introduced in the context of biological control systems. The centrality of the feedback principle in the operation of control systems is emphasized, and the advantages of feedback control described.

Construction of Minimax Control for Almost Conservative Controlled Dynamic Systems with the Limited Perturbations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The problem is considered for constructing a minimax control for a linear stationary controlled dynamical almost conservative system (a conservative system with a weakly perturbed coefficient matrix) on which an unknown perturbation with bounded energy ...

A six degrees of freedom MEMS manipulator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This thesis reports about a six degrees of freedom (DOF) precision manipulator in MEMS, concerning concept generation for the manipulator followed by design and fabrication (of parts) of the proposed manipulation concept in MEMS.

Conceptual Engineering, Topics, Metasemantics, and Lack of Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Conceptual engineering is now a central topic in contemporary philosophy. Just 4-5 years ago it wasn’t. People were then engaged in the engineering of various philosophical concepts (in various sub-disciplines), but typically not self-consciously so. Qua

Thermal Control of Engineered T-cells [PDF]

open access: yesACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Genetically engineered T-cells are being developed to perform a variety of therapeutic functions. However, no robust mechanisms exist to externally control the activity of T-cells at specific locations within the body. Such spatiotemporal control could help mitigate potential off-target toxicity due to incomplete molecular specificity in applications ...

Control in the technical societies: a brief history [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
By the time control engineering emerged as a coherent body of knowledge and practice (during and just after WW2) professional engineering societies had existed for many decades.

Ground-state Stabilization of Open Quantum Systems by Dissipation

open access: yes, 2015
Control by dissipation, or environment engineering, constitutes an important methodology within quantum coherent control which was proposed to improve the robustness and scalability of quantum control systems.
