Application of real‐time nonlinear model predictive control for wave energy conversion
This article presents an approach to implement a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) in real‐time with a non‐standard cost index. The proposed technique's applications are presented to maximize the energy produced by a Wave Energy Converter (WEC)

A Systems-Theoretical Formalization of Closed Systems [PDF]
There is a lack of formalism for some key foundational concepts in systems engineering. One of the most recently acknowledged deficits is the inadequacy of systems engineering practices for engineering intelligent systems. In our previous works, we proposed that closed systems precepts could be used to accomplish a required paradigm shift for the ...

Incoherent control of two-photon induced optical measurements in open quantum systems: quantum heat engine perspective [PDF]
We present a consistent optimization procedure for the optical measurements in open quantum systems using recently developed incoherent control protocol. Assigning an effective hot bath for the two-entangled-photon pump we recast the transmission of classical probe as a work in a quantum heat engine framework. We demonstrate that maximum work in such a

At the present time, water and sewer pipe networks are predominantly inspected manually. In the near future, smart cities will perform intelligent autonomous monitoring of buried pipe networks, using teams of small robots. These robots, equipped with all

Learning Data-Driven PCHD Models for Control Engineering Applications [PDF]
The design of control engineering applications usually requires a model that accurately represents the dynamics of the real system. In addition to classical physical modeling, powerful data-driven approaches are increasingly used. However, the resulting models are not necessarily in a form that is advantageous for controller design.

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Structural Control Systems Implemented in Civil Engineering [PDF]
Over the past three decades, a great interest has been generated by the use of protection systems to mitigate the effects of dynamic environmental hazards on civil engineering structures, such as earthquakes and strong wind. These control systems develop

Engineering of distributed control systems
Besides the functional view on distributed control systems, the engineering aspect becomes more and more important. It will be essential to integrate the whole engineering process. Here the transport of information without losses from one engineering (live cycle) phase to an other must be provided. It is proposed here, to regard the distributed control
