A series of studies was conducted to elucidate a phenomenon here referred to as the "illusion of control. " An illusion of control was denned as an ex-pectancy of a personal success probability inappropriately higher than the ob-jective probability would warrant. It was predicted

We present a broad extension of the conventional formalism of state machines and state diagrams, that is relevant to the specification and design of complex discrete-event systems, such as multi-computer real-time systems, communication protocols and digital control units. Our diagrams, which we

NCP2830 is a cost effective mono audio power amplifier designed for portable communication device applications such as mobile phones. Due to its integrated charge pump structure, this part is capable of delivering 1 W of continuous average power to an 8.0 � Bridge Tied Load no matter the voltage provided by a lithium/Ion battery. NCP2830 is a preferred solution for long playback audio with minimum space required. Added to a fast start−up time of 200 �s and a −88dB PSRR, the NCP2830 audio power amplifier is specifically designed to provide high quality and level output power from low supply voltage, requiring very few external components. Features • 1 W to 8 � load for VDD from 2.7 V up to 5.5 V • High quality audio (THD+N = 0.04%) • Low noise: SNR up to 100 dB • Very Fast Turn On Time: 200 �s • Overall system efficiency optimization: up to 89%

for this database is the TIdigits, consisting of connected digits task spoken by American English talkers (downsampled to 8kHz). A selection of 8 different real-world noises have been added to the speech over a range of signal to noise ratios with controlled filtering of the speech and noise. The framework

Ethernet is a branching broadcast communication system for carrying digital data packets among locally distributed computing stations. The packet transport mechanism provided by Ethernet has been used to build systems which can be viewed as either local computer networks or loosely coupled

for which a linear hybrid automaton satisfies a temporal-logic requirement. 1 Introduction A hybrid system typically consists of a collection of digital programs that interact with each other and with an analog environment. Examples of hybrid systems include manufacturing controllers, automotive and flight

of the Digital control course emphasize theoretical aspects such as modeling, linear analysis, digital controller design, and closed loop system performance simulation as well as practical aspects such as actual implementation of digital controllers using a digital computer.

Abstract — Recently, the performance of the DSP and FPGA is developed remarkably. So, fully digital control is enabled in switch mode power supplies. However, in many cases, the control system is built by very complicatedly and very difficult theories such as the adaptive control. Furthermore
