Advances in instrumentation, modeling and control are more fully understood and utilized when assisted by first-principle, ...

Applying model-predictive methods and a continuous process-control framework to a continuous tablet-manufacturing process. Currently, there is a high level of interest in the pharmaceutical industry ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Shrinking technology nodes and smaller process margins require improved photolithography overlay control. Generally, overlay measurement results are modeled with Cartesian polynomial functions for ...

Distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers have long been used to regulate power plant operations, but advanced techniques that have been proven in refining and other industries ...

We propose an approach for the modeling, monitoring and control of operational risk in financial institutions based on a methodology that integrates business process modeling with statistical and ...

Coal-fired power plants can significantly improve wet limestone scrubbing with advanced process control. One optimization system implemented at a Japanese facility utilized enhanced regulatory control ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...
