Control Application #2 Insulin Pump for Diabetes Mellitus

http://www.medicinenet.com/insulin_pump_for_diabe tes_mellitus/article.htm
What is an insulin pump? The most recently available advance in insulin delivery is the insulin pump. In the United States, MiniMed and Disetronic market the insulin pump. An insulin pump is composed of v a pump reservoir similar to that of an insulin cartridge, v a battery-operated pump, v and a computer chip that allows the user to control the exact amount of insulin being delivered.

Control Application #2 (continued) Insulin Pump for Diabetes Mellitus

How does an insulin pump work?
The pump is attached to a thin plastic tube (an infusion set) that has a soft cannula (or plastic needle) at the end through which insulin passes. This cannula is inserted under the skin, usually on the abdomen. The cannula is changed every two days. The tubing can be disconnected from the pump while showering or swimming. The pump is used for continuous insulin delivery, 24 hours a day. The amount of insulin is programmed and is administered at a constant rate (basal rate). Often, the amount of insulin needed over the course of 24 hours varies depending on factors like exercise, activity level, and sleep. The insulin pump allows the user to program many different basal rates to allow for variation in lifestyle. In addition, the user can program the pump to deliver a bolus (large dose of insulin) during meals to cover the excess demands of carbohydrate ingestion.

Active noise control (ANC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

Active noise control (ANC), also known as noise cancellation, or active noise reduction (ANR), is a method for reducing unwanted sound.

In an electronics-populated world where ambient noises abound, Silentium's active noise control (ANC) products promise "Silence in a chip", and in this case, the chip is an Analog Devices' Blackfin processor. With the help of powerful digital signal processing from Analog Devices, Silentium has successfully taken on the technological challenge of creating true silence amidst the constant hum and annoyance of electronic equipment. Delivering more than 10dB (A) broadband noise reduction across the entire audible spectrum, Silentium's ANC solutions, based on their S-Cube Controller technology, are a result of the company's extensive research and development in acoustics field analysis. Active noise cancellation is in demand for a full range of applications and industries, including server and networking equipment, air treatment, air conditioning machinery, automotive and aircraft cabins, white goods, and more. By utilizing the powerful Blackfin BF533 digital signal processor within their low cost, portable design, Silentium enables product developers to easily incorporate ANC functionality.

Control Application #5
Active vibration control
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_vibration_control Active vibration control is the active application of force in an equal and opposite fashion to the forces imposed by external vibration. With this application, a precision industrial process can be maintained on a platform essentially vibration-free. Many precision industrial processes cannot take place if the machinery is being affected by vibration. For example, the production of semiconductor wafers requires that the machines used for the photolithography steps be used in an essentially vibration-free environment or the sub-micrometre features will be blurred. Active vibration control is now also commercially available for reducing vibration in helicopters, offering better comfort with less weight than traditional passive technologies. In the past, passive techniques were used. These include traditional vibration dampers, shock absorbers, and base isolation.

(continued)

Active vibration control systems control vibration by electronically sensing the disturbance and taking an action to compensate for it. Most active vibration control systems are hybrid systems using active control for low frequencies and passive isolation for higher frequencies. They offer superior performance compared to passive systems by providing better low frequency isolation, without the high static deflections associated with passive devices, and improved settling times. Active actuators can be hydraulic, pneumatic, piezoelectric and other styles.

Control Application #7 PLL Phase-locked loop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop
A phase-locked loop or phase lock loop (PLL) is a control system that generates an output signal whose phase is related to the phase of an input signal. While there are several differing types, it is easy to initially visualize as an electronic circuit consisting of a variable frequency oscillator and a phase detector. The oscillator generates a periodic signal. The phase detector compares the phase of that signal with the phase of the input periodic signal and adjusts the oscillator to keep the phases matched. Keeping the input and output phase in lock step also implies keeping the input and output frequencies the same. Consequently, in addition to synchronizing signals, a phase-locked loop can track an input frequency. These properties are used for computer clock synchronization, demodulation, and frequency synthesis, respectively. Phase-locked loops are widely employed in radio, telecommunications, computers and other electronic applications.

In digital wireless communication systems (GSM, CDMA etc.), PLLs are used to provide the local oscillator up-conversion during transmission and down-conversion during reception.

(continued)

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is a closed-loop frequency-control system based on the phase difference between the input clock signal and the feedback clock signal of a controlled oscillator. The main blocks of the PLL are the phase frequency detector (PFD), charge pump, loop filter, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and counters, such as a feedback counter (M), a pre-scale counter (N), and post-scale counters(C).

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/14868-phase-locked-loop-tutorial/content/html/plldemo.html

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is a closed-loop feedback control system that generates and outputs a signal in relation to the frequency and phase of an input ("reference") signal. A phase-locked loop circuit responds to both the frequency and the phase of the input signals, automatically raising or lowering the frequency of a controlled oscillator until it is matched to the reference in both frequency and phase. This type of mechanism is widely used in radio, telecommunications, computers and other electronic applications where it is desired to stabilize a generated signal or to detect signals in the presence of noise.
