11Acoustic Control Induction System — or ACIS, is an implementation of a Variable Length Intake Manifold system designed by Toyota.Simply put, the ACIS system uses a single intake air control valve located in the intake to vary the length of the intake tract in order to optimize pow …
12Flight control modes (electronic) — New aircraft designs like this Boeing 777 rely on sophisticated flight computers to aid and protect the aircraft in flight. These are governed by computational laws which assign flight control modes during flight Aircraft with fly by wire flight… …
13Neural Impulse Actuator — The Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) is a brain–computer interface (BCI) device developed by OCZ Technology. BCI devices attempt to move away from the classic input devices like keyboard and mouse and instead read electrical activity from the head,… …
14Pneumatic actuator — A pneumatic actuator converts energy (in the form of compressed air, typically) into motion. The motion can be rotary or linear, depending on the type of actuator. Some types of pneumatic actuators include: *Tie rod cylinders *Rotary actuators… …
15Automatic Performance Control — (APC) was the first engine knock and boost control system that was introduced on turbo charged Saab H engines in 1982 and was fitted to all subsequent 900 Turbos through 1993 (and 1994 convertibles), as well as 9000 Turbos through 1989. The APC… …
16Intelligent Actuator — Intelligent Actuator, also called IAI, is a robotics design company. It was founded in Japan in 1976. The company designs, manufactures, and markets a complete line of motion control systems. IAI is the world’s largest manufacturer of cartesian… …
17Aircraft flight control systems — consist of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft s direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered as flight controls as they …
18Radio control — (often abbreviated to R/C or simply RC) is the use of radio signals to remotely control a device. The term is used frequently to refer to the control of model vehicles from a hand held radio transmitter. Industrial, military, and scientific… …
19Traction control system — A traction control system (TCS), also known as Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), on current production vehicles, are typically (but not necessarily) electro hydraulic systems, designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and… …
20Process control — is a statistics and engineering discipline that deals with architectures, mechanisms, and algorithms for controlling the output of a specific process. See also control theory.For example, heating up the temperature in a room is a process that has …
