action feedback signal
1Feedback — For other uses, see Feedback (disambiguation). Feedback describes the situation when output from (or information about the result of) an event or phenomenon in the past will influence an occurrence or occurrences of the same (i.e. same defined)… …
2Action potential — In physiology, an action potential is a short lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, called… …
3Feedback — Many biologic processes are controlled by feedback, just as the temperature in a home from a furnace is regulated by a thermostat. * * * 1. In a given system, the return, as input, of some of the output, as a regulatory mechanism; e.g.,… …
4Signal transduction — In biology, signal transduction refers to any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Most processes of signal transduction involve ordered sequences of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are… …
5feedback — noun Date: 1919 1. the return to the input of a part of the output of a machine, system, or process (as for producing changes in an electronic circuit that improve performance or in an automatic control device that provide self corrective action) …
6Positive feedback — Alarm or panic can spread by positive feedback among a herd of animals to cause a stampede. Positive feedback is energy taken from the output of a system and reapplied to the input, which is phase congruent with the input signal. A system… …
7servo-feedback — A type of automatic flight control system in which part of the output is fed back into the input to help control the action. For example, if an autopilot senses a wing drop, it sends the signal to the aileron control to correct it. A servo… …
8Minor loop feedback — is a classical method used to design stable robust linear Feedback control systems using feedback loops around sub systems within the over all feedback loop.[1] The method is sometimes called minor loop synthesis in college text books,[2][3] some …
