  PID controller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a PID loop, the correction that's added is calculated from the error in three ways, to cancel out the present error, average out past errors, and anticipate the future a bit from the slope of the error(s) over time.
Digital implementations of a PID algorithm may have limitations owing to the sampling rate of the data, and the limits of internal calculation and precision.
Electronic analog PID control loops are often found within more complex electronic systems, for example, the head positioning of a disk drive, the power conditioning of a power supply, or even the movement-detection circuit of a modern seismometer.

 Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): Information for students
PID refers to the acute clinical syndrome attributed to the ascending spread of infection in women from the vagina and endocervix to the endometrium (lining of the uterus), fallopian tubes, and/or adjoining structures.
Chlamydia is responsible for about 50% of PID cases, and gonorrhoea is the cause in 25% of cases.
PID is usually caused by a sexually transmitted infection, but gynaecological surgical procedures such as abortion or the insertion of an intra-uterine device (IUD) can cause the infectious agents to spread upwards from the cervix and vagina.

 PID without a PhD
PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control is not as complicated as it sounds.
In a typical PID controller these elements are driven by a combination of the system command and the feedback signal from the object that is being controlled (usually referred to as the "plant").
The elements of a PID controller presented here either take their input from the measured plant output or from the error signal, which is the difference between the plant output and the system command.

As the boiler approaches the desired temperature, the PID turns the heating element on for shorter intervals -- like a driver braking harder the closer he gets to the stop sign (this is where the proportional, integral and derivative calculations come in).
Once the boiler is at the desired temperature, the PID cycles the heating element on and off at intervals calculated to hold the boiler very close to that temperature.
Actually mounting the PID in the enclosure is simple enough once the opening is prepared: Slip the white mounting collar over the PID, slide the PID into the enclosure, then cinch the mounting collar up tight against the inside of the enclosure.

 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
PID is a leading cause of infertility in the United States.
Following PID, scarring will cause approximately 20 percent of women to become infertile, 18 percent to develop chronic pelvic pain, and 9 percent to have ectopic pregnancies.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Although sexual transmission is the most common cause of PID, bacteria may enter the body after gynecological events or procedures such as IUD insertion (intrauterine device used for contraception), childbirth, spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), therapeutic or elective abortion, and endometrial biopsy.
However, oral contraceptives may in other cases have a protective role against developing PID because they stimulate the body to produce a thicker cervical mucous, which is harder for semen (which may contain bacteria) to penetrate.
Early diagnosis of mild PID may be treated on an outpatient basis with antibiotics and close follow-up.

Depending on the severity of the infection, patients with PID may be minimally symptomatic or may present with toxic symptoms of fever, nausea, vomiting, and severe pain.
Diagnosis also is complicated because a subset of women with PID appear to exhibit subtle symptoms that often are undiagnosed by a health care provider or are unappreciated by the patient.

 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic inflammatory disease, sometimes called PID, is a progressive (meaning it becomes worse over time) infection of the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, or ovaries.
PID can cause scarring in a girl's ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus, and widespread scarring may lead to infertility (the inability to have a baby).
If someone who has had PID does get pregnant, scarring of the fallopian tubes may cause the fertilized egg to implant in one of the fallopian tubes rather than in the uterus.
