In this paper, a One-Degree-of-Freedom PI controller is optimized using the model reference tuning approach for a Second Order Inverse Response and Dead Time Process operating as a servo control. In addition, a graphic user interface tool that computes the PI optimized controller parameters is presented, also showing the response of the control system operating as a servo-control (the optimized one)...
Phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs) consist of liquid perfluorocarbon droplets that can be vaporized into gas-filled microbubbles by pulsed ultrasound waves at diagnostic pressures and frequencies. These activatable contrast agents provide benefits of longer circulating times and smaller sizes relative to conventional microbubble contrast agents. However, optimizing ultrasound-induced activation...
In this paper, a modular thermal modelling approach for a water-cooled Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEM-FC) stack is proposed. The resultant model is based on the heat flux inside the stack and has been validated in a real test station. Then, a linear model predictive control (MPC) strategy for temperature regulation is designed and tested in simulation with promising results. The proposed...
Data-driven control is a methodology that attempts to find a suitable controller, based only on data taken from the system. Within this method, the virtual reference feedback tuning (VRFT), is a one-shot data-driven approach that transforms the control problem into an identification problem using restricted complexity controllers. However, how to choose the number of parameters, or the relation between...
NCBE (SLC4A10) is a member of the SLC4 family of bicarbonate transporters, several of which play important roles in intracellular-pH regulation and transepithelial HCO 3− transport. Here we characterize a new antibody that was generated in rabbit against a fusion protein consisting of maltose-binding protein and the first 135 amino acids (aa) of the N-terminus of human NCBE. Western blotting—both...
