The Galileo Mission

Author: C.T. Russell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401125120
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 613

Book Description
The articles in this volume are a document of the Galileo mission to Jupiter. The Mission Overview is the first article; the second is a description of the design of the very complex spacecraft trajectory in relation to the scientific objects. Subsequent articles describe the various investigations planned by the scientific groups. These are divided in three groups: the Probe, the Magnetospheric Experiments, and the Remote Sensing and Radio Investigations.

Linear Matrix Inequalities in System and Control Theory

Author: Stephen Boyd
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 9781611970777
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 203

Book Description
In this book the authors reduce a wide variety of problems arising in system and control theory to a handful of convex and quasiconvex optimization problems that involve linear matrix inequalities. These optimization problems can be solved using recently developed numerical algorithms that not only are polynomial-time but also work very well in practice; the reduction therefore can be considered a solution to the original problems. This book opens up an important new research area in which convex optimization is combined with system and control theory, resulting in the solution of a large number of previously unsolved problems.

Robust Control of Uncertain Dynamic Systems

Author: Rama K. Yedavalli
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461491320
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 217

Book Description
This textbook aims to provide a clear understanding of the various tools of analysis and design for robust stability and performance of uncertain dynamic systems. In model-based control design and analysis, mathematical models can never completely represent the “real world” system that is being modeled, and thus it is imperative to incorporate and accommodate a level of uncertainty into the models. This book directly addresses these issues from a deterministic uncertainty viewpoint and focuses on the interval parameter characterization of uncertain systems. Various tools of analysis and design are presented in a consolidated manner. This volume fills a current gap in published works by explicitly addressing the subject of control of dynamic systems from linear state space framework, namely using a time-domain, matrix-theory based approach. This book also: Presents and formulates the robustness problem in a linear state space model framework. Illustrates various systems level methodologies with examples and applications drawn from aerospace, electrical and mechanical engineering. Provides connections between lyapunov-based matrix approach and the transfer function based polynomial approaches. Robust Control of Uncertain Dynamic Systems: A Linear State Space Approach is an ideal book for first year graduate students taking a course in robust control in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering.

Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309038294
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 709

Book Description
For the first time, a single reference identifies medical technology assessment programs. A valuable guide to the field, this directory contains more than 60 profiles of programs that conduct and report on medical technology assessments. Each profile includes a listing of report citations for that program, and all the reports are indexed under major subject headings. Also included is a cross-listing of technology assessment report citations arranged by type of technology headings, brief descriptions of approximately 70 information sources of potential interest to technology assessors, and addresses and descriptions of 70 organizations with memberships, activities, publications, and other functions relevant to the medical technology assessment community.

BETTY PAGE IN BONDAGE, VOLUME 3

Author: Irving Klaw
Publisher: SCB Distributors
ISBN: 1909923575
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 75

Book Description
Betty Page remains the ultimate icon of 1950s glamour photography. Her daring photo sessions with photographers such as Bunny Yeager and, especially, Irving Klaw, made her the most recognizable face of an underground mail-order industry with customers across America and the world. As well as hundreds of photo shoots, she also made numerous films with Klaw, often on themes of bondage and discipline which verged on transgressing the laws of the time. A 7-volume booklet collection of Betty’s most striking photographic bondage poses, accompanied by descriptive text throughout, was published by Klaw between 1960 and 1962, under the generic title BETTY PAGE IN BONDAGE. This special ebook edition of BETTY PAGE IN BONDAGE, VOLUME 3 presents all 30 original photographs along with all 30 pages of original text.
