	StateSpace - Portland State Aerospace Society
		Sometimes state space representations are very convenient, when they are not, consider using something else.
		A set of state variables is theoretically minimal if together they are sufficient to describe every aspect of the system, but elimination of any variable, singly or in combination, leaves at least some of the system unobservable.
		In traditional control theory, as opposed to "modern" state space methods, transfer functions are often used.

	Control theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Controllability and observability are main issues in the analysis of a system before deciding the best control strategy to be applied.
		Controllability is related to the possibility of forcing the system into a particular state by using an appropriate control signal.
		Adaptive controls were applied for the first time in the Aircraft industry in the 1950s, and have found particular success in that field.

	State Space -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		To abstract from the number of inputs, outputs and states, the variables are expressed as vectors and the differential and algebraic equations are written in matrix form.
		Unlike the frequency domain approach, the use of the state space representation is not limited to systems with linear components and zero initial conditions.
		State variables must be linearly independent; a state variable cannot be a linear combination of other state variables.

	Controls Overview
		Controls can also provide transparent (to the client) resource management of connections, sessions, or other resources to be obtained on behalf of the client, held for an appropriate resource scope to achieve best performance, and then released.
		Controls also provide an extensibility model that allows customized view of a resource to be constructed, with discrete operations defined as methods on the control.
		Controls also support an extensibility model that allows operations on a resource to be defined using a customized interface that extends the base public resource interface, and defines metadata-annotated operations on the resource.

		If you disable view state on a control whose change notification event you are handling, it won't fire correctly since it must always assume that the previous value was the same as the default value in the form.
		Control state is another type of hidden state reserved exclusively for controls to maintain their core behavioral functionality, whereas view state only contains state to maintain the control's contents (UI).
		Technically, control state is stored in the same hidden field as view state (being just another leaf node at the end of the view state hierarchy), but if you disable view state on a particular control, or on an entire page, the control state is still propagated.

	Limited Test Ban Treaty
		The United States continued to be unwilling to accept the Soviet basic proposition that a test ban could be agreed to and controls instituted subsequently, or to accept indefinite test suspensions that were tantamount to endorsing an uncontrolled prohibition.
		Although the United States and the United Kingdom had originally proposed that the control posts should be internationally owned and operated, they later agreed to national ownership and operation of the posts, as the Soviet Union insisted, with international monitoring and supervision.
		For States whose instruments of ratification or accession are deposited subsequent to the entry into force of this Treaty, it shall enter into force on the date of the deposit of their instruments of ratification or accession.

	DSpace at MIT: Hazard elimination using backwards reachability techniques in discrete and hybrid models
		State machine models are very powerful, but also present greater challenges in terms of reachability, including the backwards reachability needed to implement the Hazard Automaton Reduction Algorithm.
		Therefore, only a finite number of matrix manipulations is necessary to determine whether or not a state is reachable from another state, thus providing the same information that could be obtained from a complete backwards reachability graph of the state machine model.
		Unlike model checking, the computational cost does not increase as greatly with the number of backward states that need to be visited to obtain the information necessary to ensure that the design is safe or to redesign it to be safe.

	Space Suits
		To explore and work in space, human beings must take their environment with them because there is no atmospheric pressure and no oxygen to sustain life.
		US spacesuits have been pressurized at 0.30 bar (30% earth sea level pressure), but because the gas in the suit is 100 percent oxygen instead of 20 percent, the person in a spacesuit actually has more oxygen to breathe than is available at an altitude of 3,000 m without the spacesuit.
		The space sled approach was dropped in preference to the shuttle manned maneuvering unit.

	math lessons - State space (controls)
		In control engineering, a state space representation is a mathematical model of a physical system as a set of input, output and state variables related by first-order differential equations.
		In electronic systems, the number of state variables is the same as the number of energy storage elements in the circuit (capacitors and inductors).
		x is the "state vector", y is the "output vector", u is the "input (or control) vector", A is the "state matrix", B is the "input matrix", C is the "output matrix", and D is the "feedthrough (or feedforward) matrix".

	WI DPI: Division for Libraries..., Public Library Space Needs: A Planning Outline
		Final space allocations will be based on further evaluation of the specific routines to be accomplished at each work station and the amount of furniture and equipment necessary to support those routines.
		Special use space typically constitutes about 10 percent of the overall or gross area in a public library building, but depending on a library’s anticipated service program, the allocation of special use space may be a little larger or a little smaller.
		The NCES works with state library agencies across the country to assemble the annual report data submitted by all of the nation’s public libraries into one consolidated database, which is on the NCES’s site.

		This control is referred to as resonance because the harmonic content of the original signal is accentuated when the control is advanced.
		The resonance control circuit simply applies from ground to -10 volts to R46 that controls the "amp bias input" of U6-A and thus its transconductance linearly.
		The resonance control signal XRES is expected to be -5V to +5 volts.
