IEEE Seminars at OctoberBest 2008
"Practical Control Loop Design for Embedded Systems"
Speaker: Tim Wescott - Wescott Seminars / Wescott Design
Services
As more and more control loops are being managed by microcontrollers, it
becomes more necessary for designers to understand the methodologies to
close control loops in software. This course covers the elements of the
ubiquitous PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller as it is
implemented on a microcontroller in software.
"Product Design and Regulatory Compliance Processes"
Speakers:
Henry Benitez, President, ElectroMagnetic Investigations, LLC
Derick Skouby, Engineering Director, ElectroMagnetic Investigations,
LLC
Al Warren, Principle Engineer, Safety Thru Design, Inc.
This short course will focus on the product design process
from concept to end of life taking into account its design
for regulatory compliance.
