Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers have long been used to regulate power plant operations, but advanced techniques that have been proven in refining and other industries ...

The Real-Time pH Process Modeling and Control Simulation Software is built in National Instruments' LabVIEW platform and includes pH process diagram, a strong-acid-strong-base pH model, a ...

Shrinking technology nodes and smaller process margins require improved photolithography overlay control. Generally, overlay measurement results are modeled with Cartesian polynomial functions for ...

Aspen Technology's Elinor Price describes how advanced process control modeling and simulation can become part of the modern control room. An upcoming feature article in January, "Changing Workforce ...

A new process control method uses a special mathematical structure to accurately estimate the internal process variables of a system, even when external sensors are damaged. Be it nuclear power plants ...

Multiscale modelling and control of thin film deposition processes encompass advanced simulation techniques that integrate phenomena occurring over disparate spatial and temporal scales. At the ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...

CHEYENNE -- W. Edwards Deming was a quality control guru who revolutionized the Japanese auto industry after World War II and later used his same management model for the U.S. auto industry. He was ...
