Endoscope used to human body, it is a light system with a tube and light source Radiology: directing medical imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases. Surgical power tools: robot surgery, remote surgery and minimum invasive surgery Surgical catheter: In medicine , a catheter is a tube that can be inserted into a body cavity, duct or vessel. Catheters thereby allow drainage or injection of fluids or access by surgical instruments Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method allowing the monitoring of the oxygenation of a patient's blood . In medicine , a Holster monitor (also called an ambulatory electrocardiography device ), named after its inventor, Dr. Norman J. Holster , is a portable device for continuously monitoring the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours or more Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues.
- #5Â PRECISION INTERCONNECT cable solutions enable OEMs to offer clearer and more detailed images in the widest range of applications - from conventional hand-held to the most demanding high density packaging of transesophageal probes, gastroscopes and catheters. These solutions are made possible by: Micro-miniature fine wire handling as small as 56 AWG Ultra low capacitance with air enhanced dielectrics Up to 2000 signal lines in one cable for 2 1/2 and 3D arrays OEMs rely on this expertise in low capacitance, high density packaging, electrical and mechanical consistency and high overall reliability. In addition, PRECISION INTERCONNECT cable assemblies can withstand the mechanical challenges inherent in hand-held devices, i.e. the need for flexibility, flex-life, even the ability to endure repeated disinfection and sterilization. EP: electrophysiology BASIS: basic design for surgical imaging system Blue ribbon for logic analyzer. EMS: emergency medical service Product consistency unparalleled in the industry is made possible by innovative equipment such as state-of-the-art closed-loop-control systems.

- #9Â Extrusion Process: Taping Process: Line speed and distance between actuators and sensors change Constraints: for instance: tape tension range, Capacitance range IO setpoints: Cap target, more inputs to provide input targets Disturbance: tape spool edge thickness variation.
- #11 Control moves from k to m-1, m is control horizon. Output setpoint tracking: force the plant outputs to follow their setpoints Input setpoint tracking: force the plant inputs to follow their setpoints for plants with more inputs than outputs, the inputs are not unique unless defining some inputs as their setpoints to follow. The setpoints usually represent operating conditions that improve safety, economic return, etc. Control move suppression: the controller’s setpoint tracking degrade; less sensitive to prediction inaccuracies (more robust)
- #12 Control horizon nc: Predictive horizon: Why the controller bothers to optimize over P future sampling periods and calculate M future moves when it discards all but the first move in each cycle? Constraints: given sufficiently long horizons, the controller can “see” a potential constraint and avoid it or at least minimize its adverse effects. Plant delays: suppose that the plant includes a pure time delay equivalent to D sampling instants. In other words, the controller’s current move, uk, has no effect until yk_D_1. In this situation it is essential that P>>D and M<<P-D, as this forces the controller to consider the full effect of each move. Non-minimum phase plants: consider a SISO plant with an inverse-response, i.e., a plant with a short-term response in one direction, but a longer term response in the opposite direction. The optimization should focus primarily on the longer term behavior. Otherwise, the controller would move in the wrong direction. Rules of thumb: Choose the control interval such that the plant’s open-loop setting time is about 20 to 30 sampling periods (i.e., the sampling period is approximately one fifth of the dominant time constant). Choose prediction horizon P to be the number of sampling periods used in step 1. Use a relative small control horizon M e.g., 3-5
