Correction signal capable of diminishing a future change to an output signal
This document describes a correction signal usable to correct an effect of a disturbance signal on a controlled system or apparatus. In one case this document describes ways in which to diminish a future change to an output signal based on determining that a disturbance signal consistently precedes the future change.
1. A method comprising:
determining that one of a plurality of disturbance signals consistently precedes a future change to an output signal, the output signal measuring a system;
determining a correction signal capable of diminishing the future change to the output signal based on the one of the disturbance signals that consistently precedes the future change, wherein the act of determining the correction signal comprises weighting an integration of a product of at least one of the disturbance signals and a derivative of the control signal; and
providing the correction signal effective to diminish the future change.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising conditioning a control signal for the system using the correction signal.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the control signal alters a state of the system related to the output signal and the conditioning of the control signal diminishes the future change to the state of the system caused by the disturbance signal.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the integration is lossy.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that additional signals of the plurality of disturbance signals consistently precede the future change and wherein the determining the correction signal is further based on the additional signals.
6. A method comprising:
receiving a first correlation between a first disturbance signal of a first system and a future change of a first output signal of the first system;
adjusting the first correlation based on a second correlation between a second disturbance signal of a second system and a future change of a second output signal of the second system, the adjusting to provide an adjusted correlation;
determining a correction signal capable of diminishing the future change to the second output signal based on the adjusted correlation, wherein the act of determining the correction signal comprises weighting an integration of a product of at least one of the disturbance signals and a derivative of the control signal; and
providing the correction signal effective to diminish the future change to the second output signal.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising conditioning a control signal of the second system using the correction signal.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first disturbance signal of the first system is a first of a plurality of disturbance signals of the first system that consistently precedes the future change of the first output signal of the first system.
