    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_noise

    The Noise Control Act of 1972 established a U.S. national policy to promote an environment for all Americans to be free from noise that jeopardizes their health and welfare. In the past, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) coordinated all federal noise control activities through its Office of Noise Abatement and Control. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_actuator

    Active noise control normally denotes noise cancellation, that is, a noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase (also known as antiphase) to the original sound. However, active noise control with plasma adopts different strategies.

    That rule requires "optimized corrosion control treatment", but MDEQ staff instructed city of Flint water treatment staff that corrosion control treatment (CCT) would not be necessary for a year. The task force found that "the decision not to require CCT, made at the direction of the MDEQ, led directly to the contamination of the Flint water ...

    A and B cars can seat 60 passengers comfortably, and under crush load, carry over 200 passengers. [2] B cars have no operator's cab and are used in the middle of trains to carry passengers only. However, since each car is self-propelled, the B cars do have "hostler controls" allowing manual control as single units at low speeds inside a yard. [7]

  8. Active vibration control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_vibration_control

    Test bench for active vibration control at the Fraunhofer Institute LBF. A piezo driven active engine mount cancels the vibration resulting from several motors on top of the Mount by inducing countervibrations. Active vibration control is the active application of force in an equal and opposite fashion to the forces imposed by external ...

  9. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Tuning a control loop is the adjustment of its control parameters (proportional band/gain, integral gain/reset, derivative gain/rate) to the optimum values for the desired control response. Stability (no unbounded oscillation) is a basic requirement, but beyond that, different systems have different behavior, different applications have ...
