      Active process control of reactive sputter deposition 

      Voevodin, A. A.; Stevenson, P.; Rebholz, Claus; Schneider, J. M.; Matthews, A. (1995)
      Control of the density, composition, ionisation rate and arrival energy of species is one of the main objectives of research in the development of reactive magnetron sputtering. The deposition of the latest generation of ...

      Context management and its applications to distributed transactions 

      Samaras, George S.; Kshemkalyani, Ajay D.; Citron, Andrew (IEEE, 1996)
      An emerging paradigm that handles multiple locii of control in a system allows multiple program threads to work on the same task, each thread to work on a different task, or a thread to work on multiple tasks for greater ...

      Cruise control with adaptation and wheel torque constraints for improved fuel economy 

      Kahveci, N. E.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2010)
      Cruise controllers are used to automatically control the speed of motor vehicles. In order to maintain a desired vehicle speed the controller takes over the throttle in a cruise control system which proves particularly ...

      Modeling and control design for a computer-controlled brake system 

      Raza, H.; Xu, Z.; Yang, B.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1997)
      The brake subsystem is one of the most significant parts of a vehicle with respect to safety. A computer-controlled brake system has the capability of acting faster than the human driver during emergencies, and therefore ...

      Traffic Density Control for Automated Highway Systems 

      Chien, C. -C; Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1997)
      Traffic flow instabilities such as traffic congestion are often caused by ad hoc and inappropriate speeds and headways that humans choose when they operate their vehicles. In an automated highway system (AHS) environment, ...
