Nintendo 64 controllerThe Nintendo 64 controller (model number: NUS-005) is the standard game controller for the Nintendo 64 home video game console. Manufactured and released by Nintendo on June 23, 1996, in Japan, in September 29, 1996 in North America, and March 1, 1997 in Europe, it is the successor to the Super Nintendo controller and is designed in an "M" shape and features 10 buttons, one analog "Control Stick" and a directional pad. The controller was designed by Nintendo R&D3, under direction to try new ideas that would break from typical game controllers.
Réponse indicielleEn automatique la réponse indicielle est la réponse d'un système dynamique à une fonction marche de Heaviside communément appelée échelon. Si le système est un système linéaire invariant (SLI) à temps continu ou discret, alors la réponse indicielle est définie par les relations respectives suivantes : Lorsque le système est asymptotiquement stable, la réponse indicielle converge vers une valeur limite (asymptote horizontale) appelée valeur stationnaire ou finale.
Root locus analysisIn control theory and stability theory, root locus analysis is a graphical method for examining how the roots of a system change with variation of a certain system parameter, commonly a gain within a feedback system. This is a technique used as a stability criterion in the field of classical control theory developed by Walter R. Evans which can determine stability of the system. The root locus plots the poles of the closed loop transfer function in the complex s-plane as a function of a gain parameter (see pole–zero plot).
Perceptual control theoryPerceptual control theory (PCT) is a model of behavior based on the properties of negative feedback control loops. A control loop maintains a sensed variable at or near a reference value by means of the effects of its outputs upon that variable, as mediated by physical properties of the environment. In engineering control theory, reference values are set by a user outside the system. An example is a thermostat. In a living organism, reference values for controlled perceptual variables are endogenously maintained.
Physiologie végétalethumb|Un laboratoire de phytobiologie en 1901. La physiologie végétale, ou phytobiologie, est la science qui étudie le fonctionnement des organes et des tissus végétaux. Elle cherche à préciser la nature des mécanismes grâce auxquels les organes remplissent leurs fonctions.
Open-loop gainThe open-loop gain of an electronic amplifier is the gain obtained when no overall feedback is used in the circuit. The open-loop gain of many electronic amplifiers is exceedingly high (by design) – an ideal operational amplifier (op-amp) has infinite open-loop gain. Typically an op-amp may have a maximal open-loop gain of around , or 100 dB. An op-amp with a large open-loop gain offers high precision when used as an inverting amplifier.
Morphologie végétaleLa morphologie végétale est la partie de la botanique qui consiste à décrire la forme et la structure externe des plantes et de leurs organes. Elle se distingue de l'anatomie, qui s'intéresse à la structure interne des plantes. Le développement de cette science est lié à celui de la systématique, qui a conduit à une description précise et minutieuse des différents organes des plantes, notamment les racines, les tiges, les feuilles et les fleurs, et donné naissance à un vocabulaire botanique très riche et très spécialisé.
Loop gainIn electronics and control system theory, loop gain is the sum of the gain, expressed as a ratio or in decibels, around a feedback loop. Feedback loops are widely used in electronics in amplifiers and oscillators, and more generally in both electronic and nonelectronic industrial control systems to control industrial plant and equipment. The concept is also used in biology. In a feedback loop, the output of a device, process or plant is sampled and applied to alter the input, to better control the output.
Réponse en fréquenceLa réponse en fréquence est la mesure de la réponse de tout système (mécanique, électrique, électronique, optique, etc.) à un signal de fréquence variable (mais d'amplitude constante) à son entrée. Dans la gamme des fréquences audibles, la réponse en fréquence intéresse habituellement les amplificateurs électroniques, les microphones et les haut-parleurs. La réponse du spectre radioélectrique peut faire référence aux mesures de câbles coaxiaux, aux câbles de catégorie 6 et aux dispositifs de mélangeur vidéo sans fil.
Negative-feedback amplifierA negative-feedback amplifier (or feedback amplifier) is an electronic amplifier that subtracts a fraction of its output from its input, so that negative feedback opposes the original signal. The applied negative feedback can improve its performance (gain stability, linearity, frequency response, step response) and reduces sensitivity to parameter variations due to manufacturing or environment. Because of these advantages, many amplifiers and control systems use negative feedback.
Feed forward (control)A feed forward (sometimes written feedforward) is an element or pathway within a control system that passes a controlling signal from a source in its external environment to a load elsewhere in its external environment. This is often a command signal from an external operator. A control system which has only feed-forward behavior responds to its control signal in a pre-defined way without responding to the way the load reacts; it is in contrast with a system that also has feedback, which adjusts the input to take account of how it affects the load, and how the load itself may vary unpredictably; the load is considered to belong to the external environment of the system.
