my weedwhacker man ocs on their way to whack some weeds

Love that this control panel from Virtuosity (1995) has a Logitech "Cyberman" joystick and an NES controller just sort of glued onto it

Same prop would show up again, a year later, in the Wayans brothers spoof movie, Don't be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

I assumed it'd been constructed for it as an intentional joke, since the NES controller is so obvious, so it's funny that they actually got it secondhand from a "serious" movie

care to EXPLAIN your most recent post??? (Tone /lighthearted and curious)

Yes!! The Post in Question

[qwuilty]

Is it somewhat sacrilegious (/j) to draw a man who had a very complex relationship and moral dilemma over technology as a robot? Maybe. But he looks so silly and fun that way and i love him and think he can get to be computer too.

Bonus attempts at Ethan and Lucas because they don't get the favorite boy treatment

When you have 6 5 different people to dress but only one body to style-

Thinking about a Mike Squad redesign... at least for ROTI specifically haha

Their asses are not fashion designers-

In order we have Mike (the two-tone 3/4 sleeve shirt), Chester (old man sweater tied around waist), Svetlana (gymnastics leotard under everything), Manitoba Smith (outback pants which apparently exist), and of course Vito (large button up shirt and cornicello).

Advanced techniques for the design and analysis of control systems

Today's technological environment makes control systems an essential element in engineering processes, from aerospace navigation to industrial automation. Effective Control System Design ensures stability and performance - this blog covers every aspect of designing control systems in-depth while offering guidelines to master this essential engineering discipline.

Understanding Control Systems.

Dynamic controllers, also referred to as dynamic units or controllers, are devices used to regulate the behavior of systems or processes. Their main goal is ensuring any events within them fall in line with a set reference value; additionally, they offer feedback that allows for constant adjustments for optimal flexibility and stability. Controllers come both as open loop and closed loop systems - the latter typically offering feedback for optimal adjustments that allow more flexible yet stable operation.

Components of a Control System

Sensors and Actuators: Sensors measure the output of a system while actuators regulate its behavior, so selecting appropriate actuators and sensors is critical to ensure accurate and efficient system control.

Controller A controller takes in input signals as inputs and produces output signals as outputs to change how systems behave. Implementation methods may include both digital and analog methods - each offering its own set of advantages.

Plant or System: This section represents the physical system under control, such as a machine arm in a factory or chemical reaction.

PID Control and PID Systems: Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control has become an increasingly popular technique of managing control efforts through proportional integrals and derivatives to achieve the ideal balance between flexibility and stability.

Space-Time State Regulation: This innovative approach to system dynamics reveals its dynamics through one-order differential calculus equations that illustrate its behavior, making for easy analysis and control of complex multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems.

Frequency Response Analysis: Examining a system's behavior in the frequency domain to ascertain its stability and performance characteristics is at the core of system analysis.

Stability and Performance Analysis: Stability for control systems -- Routh-Hurwitz Criteria or Bode Plots can provide valuable assistance for assessing its viability.

Metrics for Evaluating Performance: Performance can be evaluated based on criteria like rising time, settling time overshoot, and steady-state error; these measurements enable adjustments to the control system that meet specific user requirements.

Tuning Techniques for an AC Controller: Ziegler-Nichols Method This heuristic provides an efficient means of fine-tuning PID controller settings by studying their responses to step inputs.

Frequency Response Methods (FRMs): Bode plots and Nyquist plots can help provide valuable insights into the dynamics of a system and assist with optimizing controllers accordingly.

Compensations and Pole Positioning: Compensators are an add-on component that can enhance an existing control system's effectiveness by increasing efficiency. They can be constructed through various techniques, such as pole placement, which allows engineers to place poles in desired locations on the plane.

Robust Control Techniques: Robust control ensures reliable and stable system performance during periods of uncertainty or changes to system parameters by employing methods like H-infinity control or mu-synthesis for solid designs.

Topics in Control System Design

Nonlinear Control To manage systems with complex nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear control techniques such as sliding mode control, feedback and linearization may be utilized.

Adaptive Control Systems provide real-time adjustment of their parameters in response to any modifications in system behavior or external disturbances.

Conclusion

Understanding Control System Design requires an in-depth knowledge of system dynamics, mathematical modeling and control theory. Engineers can explore components, types and tuning methods to design control systems that fulfill even stringent performance specifications thanks to advancements in technology across industries such as aerospace and manufacturing. Regardless of your level of experience or interest in control systems design this book serves as an indispensable guide in navigating through this complex landscape of design and control systems.

still in the midst of my fevered replay of the entire kh series and just went from kh2 to birth by sleep and the experience of moving between those with no pause is hilarious in terms of combat. in kh2 i just gave sora max strength and beat everything to death. meanwhile in bbs i have to level command cards which let me weave in special abilities to my hitting things really hard strategy to unlock special command forms (like stances) to unlock a second tier of special command forms and also meld my cards to get better commands and passive abilities all so i can spam magnera non stop to murder everything. the meld recipe list (which is not in the game) is about 10 pages long. one of the main ways to level the commands to meld is playing monopoly with cinderella, who cheats. 10/10, favorite kh game

looking at solarpunk art and concepts for reference and like as awesome as it is i feel like so many of these people don't super understand the reality of what would make this kind of solarpunk/ecofuturist future a reality

I saw a video where Hillary Clinton blatantly lies and says there is a two state solution in Israel right now and Palestinians are in power and instead of using the money they have to build their country, they are using it all to attack Israel 🤢🥴🥴🥴💀💀🤡

The crazy thing is, since no one does their own research, I see the same exact theory in the comments of so many videos and posts. It really shows a few things- first that some people will not even do the bare minimum and will instead base their opinions on something they heard without having any proof, and two that politicians will blatantly lie. Just Blatantly. They are Not a reliable source of information they will say Anything to serve their ulterior motives.
