Abstract: A new MPC controller design and method that may be applied to various different types of model predictive control (MPC) controllers and methods for use in any desired or appropriate controller setting, such as for plants, and can be imposed on conventional predictive control schemes to provide tighter control when tracking complex setpoint trajectories. The method introduces a correction parameter ?, independent of plant gain, evaluated online at each control timestep to drive the plant output to its reference more accurately than the original schemes. In a linear system, the correction parameter converges to a constant when optimized (evaluated on-line). The new MPC controller and method can also be applied on a nonlinear system. In a non-linear system, where the time constant is non-linear, the correction parameter will be variable.

Abstract: In a temperature control system using a controlled mix of high temperature pressurized gas and a cooled vapor/liquid flow of the same medium to cool a thermal load to a target temperature in a high energy environment, particular advantages are obtained in precision and efficiency by passing at least a substantial percentage of the cooled vapor/liquid flow through the thermal load directly, and thereafter mixing the output with a portion of the pressurized gas flow. This “post load mixing” approach increases the thermal transfer coefficient, improves control and facilities target temperature change. Ad added mixing between the cooled expanded flow and a lesser flow of pressurized gas also is used prior to the input to the thermal load. A further feature, termed a remote “Line Box”, enables transport of the separate flows of the two phase medium through a substantial spacing from pressurizing and condensing units without undesired liquefaction in the transport lines.

Abstract: A numerical controller of a processing machine determines corresponding setpoint axis values based on setpoint position values for position-regulated axes operating on machine elements. Before controlling the position-regulated axes, volumes to be occupied by protection bodies associated with the machine elements, a workpiece and a tool are defined and it is checked whether the protection bodies remain disjoint while controlling the position-regulated axes. Depending on the result of the checks, the controller either controls the position-regulated axes in accordance with the setpoint position values or merely executes an error response without control. The controller contains a position error field which specifies for any given setpoint axis value an actual position the tool relative to the workpiece.
