Open-loop systems may not be as smart as closed-loop systems, but they often shine in their simplicity. For the most part, they do what you expect them to do. Light goes on, light goes off.

In an industrial motion control application, for example, sensors monitor an actuator’s position or speed and send those data to a controller. The controller compares this information to the ...

A great example of a closed loop system is TfL’s Oyster card, which many customers still choose to use on its network despite the availability of an open loop alternative. Closed loop systems rely on ...

An open-loop cooling system, also called raw water cooling, draws water directly from the body of water the boat is floating in, whether it's saltwater or freshwater.

Closed Loop MRP was developed during the 1970s as a successor to earlier open-loop materials requirements planning systems, which could receive information but had no mechanism to receive feedback.

However, individuals using a hybrid closed-loop system had a higher rate of ketoacidosis (1.74 events per 100 patient-years) than those using open-loop therapy (0.96 per 100 patient-years).

Time in range increased from 60.5% at baseline to 66.5% during the antenatal period with the hybrid closed-loop system, whereas the control group had a time in range increase from 57.6% at ...
