The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

These networks aren’t well known by many, yet they’re responsible for controlling much in our lives. And they’re not very secure. What are the most powerful networks in the world? Those that run the ...

Recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) research aims to better understand the potential of process control enhancements, such as load control, sliding pressure control, and steam temperature ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Today’s common bioprocessing technologies do not efficiently develop complex biologics like cell and gene therapy and mRNA products. The at-line monitoring, off-line analytics, and legacy control ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...
