Open Ended Problems |
1. With
digital computing, we are not restricted to simple (e.g., PID) control
calculations. Propose new approaches for controlling the
following. |
|
a. The speed and direction of a passenger airplane. |
|
b. Landing a manned space craft? | |
c. Focusing a MRI to locate a possible disease? |
2 With digital computing, we do more than control. Propose other objectives that we would like to achieve and explain how we can achieve them through digital computation. Hint: think about information and calculations to help people monitor and improve plant operations. |
