  Strange loop - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A strange loop is a case of self-reference which affects (or even damages) the original item, possibly causing a paradox.
This, by itself, is not enough to be a strange loop (it's merely self reference, and is common practice for a compiler).
The concept of a strange loop was proposed and extensively discussed by Douglas Hofstadter in Gödel, Escher, Bach.

 Ground Loop: Geothermal Explanation
Since the temperature of ground water is nearly constant throughout the year, open loops are a popular option in areas where they are permitted.
Horizontal closed loop installations are generally most cost-effective for small installations, particularly for new construction where sufficient land area is available.
Fluid is pumped just as for a conventional closed loop ground system where conditions are suitable, the economics are very attractive, and no aquatic system impacts have been shown.

 Asymptotic Rate of an Open Loop Markov Model
Open Loop and Closed Loop Markov Models for a derivation of this result.)  If, on the other hand, we decide to treat this as an open loop model, allowing all probability to eventually accumulate in State 2, what is the asymptotic hazard rate for State 2?  Taking P
In general, for any Markov model, the asymptotic open loop rate is always equal to the negative of the dominant eigenvalue, where "dominant" means the smallest absolute value.
Of course, the asymptotic rate of the open loop system does not generally equal the asymptotic rate of the closed loop system.  As shown in the note on Two Properties of Markov Models, the latter is given by

 Open Loop Control   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Open-loop control appears to occur in situations (such as the Proportional condition, where control -- measured as RMS deviation -- is about the same before and after the cursor disappears) where it is possible to control a perceptible correlate of the cursor (the visible mouse arrow).
Notice that you can achieve good control in the "open loop" phase of the Proportional control condition becuase you are actually controlling a perception (of the mouse arrow) that corresponds to the position of the cursor.
Notice that, in the Integral control condition, you cannot achieve good control even though you are still able to see the mouse arrow in the "open loop" phase because the mouse arrow no longer corresponds to the position of the invisible cursor.

 Open Loop Tracking Proposal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A baseline would tell us open loop tracking performance which in turn would tell us what the bandwidth of the autoguider should be.
The open loop centroid drift will be compared to telescope specs and historic data to determine if open loop tracking has degraded over the years.
Additionally, the open loop data will be compared to the closed loop data after it is processed off line through a filter equivalent to that of the guide loop.

 Closed Loop Model of Baroreflex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The open loop relationship between carotid sinus pressure and heart rate is realistic.
When the reflex loop is closed (arterial pressure = carotid sinus pressure) the system is essentially stable but shows small apparently chaotic beat to beat variability in rate and pressure which disappear if the reflex is interrupted.
Figure 2 shows the simulated open loop response of arterial pressure (Pa) and heart rate (HR) to changing carotid sinus pressure (Pcs) when the carotid sinuses are isolated from the rest of the circulation.

 diyAudio Forums - How to measure open loop freq response
Generally it is done by modifying temporarily the feedback loop, so that the DC feedback stays intact to keep the amp in DC balance, but making the AC feedback zero.
So if the opamp has an open loop gain of 100,000 and swings 10 volts then the change in voltage between the + and - inputs will be 10/100,000 volts = 100uV.
Open loop is Output voltage / diff input voltage.

 Simple Op-Amp-based Headphone Amplifiers
Interesting because it is difficult to test an amplifier with an open loop, whether in reality or in simulation.
Opening the loop will throw off the DC bias points, which rely on the feedback loop to stabilize, without the feedback the output latches up to one of the power supply rails.
So, the secret is not to open the feedback loop, while measuring the open loop gain.

 Ziegler-Nichols Closed Loop Tuning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The open loop method is useful for most process control loops.
The Closed Loop method determines the gain at which a loop with proportional only control will oscillate, and then derives the controller gain, reset, and derivative values from the gain at which the oscillations are sustained and the period of oscillation at that gain.
Ensure that the process is Òlined outÓ with the loop to be tuned in automatic with a gain low enough to prevent oscillation.

The DC motor is replaced with a stepper motor for an open loop system, and a servo-motor for a closed loop system.
Due to the inherent open loop nature of these systems, the torque delivered by stepper motor is a function of the speed, and the motion profile.
Development of a closed loop system is somewhat more demanding than a simple open loop test, since the definitions of the command signal, and the response signal as described earlier has to followed.

 Control Engineering - Open-loop control offers some advantages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Every feedback controller has a different strategy for accomplishing its particular mission, but all use some variation on the closed-loop control algorithm--measure a process variable, decide if its value is acceptable, apply a corrective effort as necessary, and repeat the whole operation ad infinitum.
Disabling the feedback path in a closed loop control system generally reduces accuracy but may be necessary to stabilize the loop.
Open loop controllers, on the other hand, do not use feedback.
