Electro-hydraulic elevators are widely used systems, especially in low level buildings, due to their very good ratio between power generation and dynamic response. Generally, the goal of an elevator system is just to reach the floor with a precision enough to be comfortable for the passengers, without the need to follow a specific law of motion; hence an open-loop control system could be enough. Otherwise such a kind of solution reduces the number of components, bringing down the costs of production. On the other hand a complete knowledge of the mechanical system’s behaviour is required. In this work we deal with the analysis of the behaviour of a commercial hydraulic elevator driven by an open loop control that monitors the downstream pressure of the proportional valve supplying the cylinder. At the end of the paper, a closed loop solution based on the pressure measurement and on the motion time is proposed.

At present, Diesel engine combustion in most production engines is controlled via open-loop control. Increasing pressure from tightening emissions standards and on-board diagnosis requirements has made closed-loop combustion a possibility for production engines in the near future. For new combustion concepts, such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition and other low NOx regimes, the need for closed-loop combustion control is very strong. In this work, the applicability of closed-loop combustion control for controlling the variability between cylinders in conventional Diesel combustion is explored through the use of a high-fidelity engine model. The problem is formulated such that the optimal performance of two different closed-loop control concepts can be evaluated through optimization rather than via control design. It is found that, for the types of disturbances occurring in a non-faulty engine, that control of individual cylinders leads to small performance gains compared to fuel bank control.

ABSTRACT Liquid crystal (LC) adaptive optics systems (AOS) can potentially be used in ground-based large aperture telescopes, because of their high spatial resolution, low cost and compact size. However, their disadvantages, such as low energy efficiency and slow response speed, still hinder their application. In this paper, we demonstrate solutions to these problems. With newly synthesized fast nematic LC material and using an overdriving technique, the response time of a LC wavefront corrector was reduced to 0.75 ms. Under an open-loop control scheme, a novel optical system was designed to improve the energy efficiency of LC AOS. With those problems resolved, a LC AOS was built for a 1.23-m telescope. This system has a disturbance rejection bandwidth of 80 Hz, and could fully use the energy of 400–900 nm wavebands. Observation results showed that the diffraction limit resolution imaging of the telescope could be obtained after correction, which indicates that the LC AOS is ready to be used in ground-based telescopes for visible waveband imaging.
