Abstract: A system for controlling a turbine valve is provided. The system includes a hydraulic pilot valve section being moveable in a first direction and a second direction; a main hydraulic valve section being moveable in a first direction to close the turbine valve and a second direction to open the turbine valve; a position demand indicating a desired position of the turbine valve; a first feedback indicating an actual position of the hydraulic pilot valve section; and aa second feedback indicating an actual position of the main hydraulic valve section. The system also includes a pilot valve error; a main valve error; a turbine valve error; and a pilot valve adjustment moving the hydraulic pilot valve section in response to the turbine valve error. The turbine valve error is repeatedly determined and the pilot valve adjustment repeatedly moves the hydraulic pilot valve section to minimize the turbine valve error.

Abstract: A semiconductor die includes at least one process monitoring circuit for evaluating at least one process parameter of the semiconductor die. The at least one process monitoring circuit can include a first group of process monitoring circuits for monitoring NFET speed and a second group of process monitoring circuits for monitoring PFET speed. The process monitoring circuits can be distributed at the corners of the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die further includes a voltage control circuit configured to store optimum voltage information corresponding to the at least one process parameter. The voltage control circuit is further configured to selectively provide the optimum voltage information to a system power supply. The voltage control circuit includes a calculated optimum voltage register that stores the optimum voltage information corresponding to the at least one process parameter.
