In mechanical and control engineering, a servomechanism (also called servo system, or simply servo) is a control system for the position and its time derivatives...

automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the car's throttle to maintain a steady speed set by...

and acceleration in a mechanical system. It constitutes part of a servomechanism, and consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback...

Servomechanisms, Inc., was a Cold war era U.S. defense sub-contractor, which developed precision sub-systems for high performance jet aircraft, guided...

amplifier used to power electric servomechanisms. A servo drive monitors the feedback signal from the servomechanism and continually adjusts for deviation...

the error that drives a servomechanism can be seen as a difference between a pair of analogous concepts in a servomechanism: the current state and the...

rotation. Many engines are also fitted with a manifold vacuum-operated servomechanism to provide additional rotation of the plate's position (within limits)...

of cybernetics, he hypothesized that a human behaves basically as a servomechanism that controlled at discrete points in time. He influenced Warren McCulloch...

feedback loop, to maintain the direction set by the steersman. In servomechanisms, the speed or position of an output, as determined by a sensor, is...

eventually retiring in 1989. During World War II Forrester worked on servomechanisms as a research assistant to Gordon S. Brown. After the war he headed...
