Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for controlling a system to achieve a specified response. In one embodiment, the apparatus is a proportional, integrative, and derivative (PID) controller having a proportional element, an integrative element, and a derivative element coupled together. The elements respond to a reference signal and generate a control signal that causes a plant to generate a plant output. The proportional element has a gain element where the gain is a function of the ultimate gain of the plant (K) and the ultimate period of the plant (T). The controllers may also be embodied in non-PID controllers that share common elements, such as the use of: (a) Astrom-Hagglund controller output as an input for a subsequent controller; (b) internal feedback; and (c) a subsequent controller that performs a subtraction operation to generate the difference between the output of the Astrom-Hagglund controller and the output of the subsequent controller.
Signal-Processing Devices Having One Or More Memristors

International Classification:
H01C 13/00
US Classification:
361437
Abstract:
Signal-processing devices having memristors are described for performing frequency-discrimination functions, amplitude-discrimination functions, and time-oriented functions. In each case, the time-domain behavior of the memristors described herein enables these functions to be performed. In one embodiment, memristance of an arrangement of memristors of a device is, after an initial transitional period, predominantly at a first level if frequency of an input signal of the device is less than a first frequency and predominantly at a second level if the frequency of the input signal is greater than a second frequency.

Enjoy reading, golf and travel. Hope to do more of the first and third as my golf game seems to have gone south. Try to involve myself in my community and give back what I have enjoyed over the year...

Bragging Rights:
I did survive high school and we're having our 50th reunion this fall (2013) which I have been told I'm co-emceeing. I have two children that have made their mother and me quite proud. In 2001, I was deeply honored with the Junior Achievement International "Volunteer of the Year" award out of 108,000 candidates. When I stepped down from volunteering after about 25 years, I was further stunned when JA saw fit to honor me with its "Mentor" award. I was humbled by that and will never forget it.
The compact could work, in part, because a state solution would appeal to constitutionally conservative legislators across the aisle, said John Koza, the National Popular Vote movement chairman. Their work remains in lobbying outside of California, in redder and unpledged blue states, he said. Its

In 1969, Democrats and Republicans united to get rid of the electoral college. Here's what happened
In 2006, John Koza, a computer scientist, penned a proposal creating the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact an effort in which states agree to award all their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.So far, 10 states and the District of Columbia have signed up, including

ectors. NPV is an interstate compact that would require states to have their electors vote for the winner of the national popular vote, no matter who wins their own state. (For much more detail on the NPV, see the exchange between John Koza and DeWitt and Schwartz in the issue of PSmentioned above.)

Three common arguments for preserving the Electoral College – and why they're wrong
amending the Constitution is a plan called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Created by Stanford University computer science professor John Koza, the idea is to award each states electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote instead of the winner of the state popular vote.

Obama wins Electoral College vote; Republicans seek changes in state rules
states and the District of Columbia have enacted such legislation. Those states, which include California, are Democratic states, a result that John Koza, a former Stanford University professor who is chairman of National Popular Vote, attributes to Democrats displeasure with Gores 2000 loss.
"The current system has the problem that presidential campaigns concentrate on only 10 of the 50 states, and at least four out of five Americans are left out of the process of deciding who their president should be," argued John Koza, who leads an effort to eliminate the Electoral College.
