Food makers often design junk foods around a “bliss point” of salt, sugar, and fat that can drive cravings. Control junk food cravings by planning meals and snacks, shopping the grocery store ...

Abstract: This survey provides a brief overview on the control Lyapunov function (CLF) and control barrier function (CBF) for general nonlinear-affine control systems. The problem of control is ...

Added sugar is fine in small amounts, but too much is linked to weight gain, acne, and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Dietary guidelines suggest keeping added sugar under 10% of ...

Americans seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks). But water lovers got a jolt recently when we heard that ...

Abstract: We consider the funnel-control problem for control-affine nonlinear systems with unknown drift term and parametrically uncertain control-input matrix. We develop an adaptive control ...

A1: One approach is to tabulate all the instruments and devices that consume air and assume (as a starting point) that each end device requires 2 scfm and account for future expansion by adding 10% ...
