Time Varying Signal Processing Zero-Crossing-Based Models
Textbook
Applied Reliability Third Edition
Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula and Thippur V. Sreenivas
Paul A. Tobias
This book introduces non-uniform-sample-based signal processing methods, specifically those derived based on zero-crossing measurements. Most current-day digital signal processing is based on uniform Nyquist sampling of bandlimited signals. However, most real-world signals are neither time-invariant nor bandlimited. In the past few decades, there have been significant developments in different sampling approaches: random sampling, signal-dependent sampling, and compressive sampling, which are promising both for time-varying signals as well as more compact processing in terms of the number of samples and power consumed.

An Introduction to the Bootstrap arms scientists, engineers, and statisticians with the computational techniques they need to analyze and understand complicated data sets. The bootstrap is a computer-based method of statistical inference that answers statistical questions without formulas and gives a direct appreciation of variance, bias, coverage, and other probabilistic phenomena. This book presents an overview of the bootstrap and related methods for assessing statistical accuracy, concentrating on the ideas rather than their mathematical justification. Not just for beginners, the presentation starts off slowly, but builds in both scope and depth to ideas that are quite sophisticated.

Series: Automation and Control Engineering, 57
URS Corporation, Greentree, Pennsylvania, USA
This book provides a systematic framework for designing distributed controllers for multi-agent systems with general linear agent dynamics, linear agent dynamics with uncertainties, and Lipschitz nonlinear agent dynamics. The proposed consensus region decouples the design of the feedback gain matrices of the cooperative protocols from the communication graph and serves as a measure for the robustness of the protocols to variations of the communication graph. By exploiting the decoupling feature, adaptive cooperative protocols are presented that can be designed and implemented in a fully distributed fashion.
While many safety professionals attempt to use electrical safety regulations, they may not understand the basis for the regulations and thus may not implement the regulations correctly. This is not surprising due to the complex wording of most regulations. This book presents a detailed description of the components of an electrical system. It explains the basis for the electrical safety regulations and identifies key safety items. It also covers how the electrical concepts apply to all major components of an electrical system within a facility.

This book tackles the problem of integrating controllers, sensors, and actuators in a networked control system. It offers a solution to the deterministic scheduling problem that is based on rigorous control theoretical tools but also addresses practical implementation issues. Bridging the gap between control theory and computer science, the book suggests that the consideration of communication constraints at the design stage will significantly improve the control system’s performance. The authors develop ready-to-use engineering tools for large-scale control system integration with a focus on robustness and performance.

Tracking Control of Linear Systems Lyubomir T. Gruyitch University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard, France (Retired)
The primary purpose of control is to force desired behavior in an unpredictable environment, under oftenarbitrary disturbances and initial conditions. Thus tracking and tracking control synthesis are fundamental control issues. Surprisingly, however, tracking theory has not been well developed, and stability theory has dominated. This book presents the fundamentals of tracking theory for control systems. It introduces the full transfer function matrix, which changes the theory of linear dynamical and control systems and enables a novel synthesis of tracking control that works more effectively in real conditions.
