Source: Ali Bazzi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. DC/DC converters are power electronic converters that convert DC voltages and currents from a certain level to another level. Typically, voltage conversion is the main purpose of DC/DC converters and three main types of conversion exist in a single converter: stepping up, stepping down, and stepping up or down. Among the most common step-up converters are boost converters (Refer to this collections...

Blood pressure monitoring is one of the essential vital signs, and for a majority of patients, measuring it utilizing non-invasive techniques provides accurate values. However, there are situations in which the blood pressure requires more exact, specific, and reliable measurements.

The transfer function is a fundamental concept representing the ratio of two polynomials. The numerator and denominator encapsulate the system's dynamics. The zeros and poles of this transfer function are critical in determining the system's behavior and stability. Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.

However, there are many factors that can complicate placement of a peripheral intravenous cannula (PIV), and it is extremely common for PIV attempts to fail. PIV placement may be technically challenging in small...

Dynamic computer-aided implant surgery (DCAIS) is a controlled implant surgical placement method performed without a surgical template using optical control. The real-time intraoperative control of movement and position of the surgical device simplifies the procedure and gives more freedom to the surgeon, providing similar precision as static navigation methods.
FAQs
Controllability determines whether pole placement can achieve requested closed-loop behavior. In state-space form, the inputs must influence the system’s relevant states. If this condition is not satisfied, changing the feedback gain cannot generally move the eigenvalues to arbitrary desired locations. Engineers therefore assess controllability before selecting poles or finalizing a controller.
The gain matrix translates the chosen state-feedback strategy into a modified system matrix. Its values determine how strongly measured or estimated states affect the control input, which in turn changes the matrix eigenvalues. Designing this matrix allows engineers to target specific closed-loop pole locations rather than adjusting stability and response through trial-and-error alone.
Desired pole locations provide a structured way to shape several aspects of dynamic response. Their placement influences whether the closed-loop system is stable and helps regulate settling time, damping, and overshoot. This makes pole selection a performance-design decision: engineers choose locations that reflect the response they want from a mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or process-control system.
A typical workflow begins by expressing the system in state-space form and checking controllability. Engineers then specify desired closed-loop pole locations according to stability and response goals, determine a state-feedback gain matrix, and apply that feedback to modify the system matrix. The resulting eigenvalues can then be examined to confirm that the designed dynamics match the intended behavior.
An observer becomes relevant when the controller needs state information that is not directly measured. In that situation, the observer supplies estimates of the unavailable states, while state feedback uses those estimates in the pole-placement design. Combining these elements extends state-space control to systems where measuring every state directly is not practical or available.
Pole placement is applicable across several engineering domains because it links controller design to explicit closed-loop performance objectives. Mechanical systems can be regulated for desired motion, electrical systems for controlled dynamics, aerospace systems for stability and response, and process-control systems for specified operating behavior. Its state-space formulation also supports systematic controller development across these applications.
