Input negative feedback

Input negative feedback (J xJxz < 0)- Type Z species is flowed into the reactor and controls the autocatalytic process by reacting with the type X species this feature may occur in both category 1 (fig. 11.4b,c) and 2 (fig. 11.4e). Additionally, in category 1, type Z species may also be produced by an exit reaction (i.e., X - - Y Z) rather than provided via feed. 

Feedback The return of a portion of the output of a device to the input Positive feedback adds to the input negative feedback subtracts from the input. 

In the CNS there are many forms of neuronal organisation. One neuron can have many synaptic inputs and a multiplicity of NTs and NT effects are utilised within a complex interrelationship of neurons. There are also positive and negative feedback circuits as well as presynaptic influences all designed to effect changes in excitability and frequency of neuronal firing, i.e. patterns of neuronal discharge.

The output of the recycle block is added to the original input to the process u, and the sum of these two signals enters the forward block Gp(s>. It is important to note that the recycle loop in this process features positive feedback, not negative feedback that we are used to dealing with in feedback control. Most recycles produce this positive feedback behavior, which means that an increase in the recycle flowrate causes an increase in the flowrates through the process. 

The effective input resistance of a DC amplifier may be greatly increased by the use of negative feedback. This principle is illustrated for charge measurement in Fig. 7.4, where a feedback capacitor is connected across an amplifier with k high input resistance Rm and gain —N. To make a measurement, the amplifier is first unshorted whilst the input probe faces an earthed shield. The shield or cap is then removed and the probe taken near to the charged surface in... 

This model requires input of energy for the maintainenance of the steady state and control of the phosphorylated-dephosphorylated state of regulatory molecules, either by energy-consuming phosphorylation reactions or by negative feedback, often, but not exclusively, by dephosphorylation. 

Dynamic responses can be divided into the categories of selfregulating and non-self-regulating. A self-regulating response has inherent negative feedback and will always reach a new steady-state in response to an input change. Self-regulating response dynamics can be approximated with a combination of a deadtime and a first-order lag with an appropriate time constant. 

The summing block that follows has one negative and one positive input, since it represents a negative feedback system. This implies that another 180° shift will occur after the signal leaves the H block. So we conclude that in general, a system would be unstable if a disturbance goes around the loop and comes back to the same point, with the same magnitude and the same phase.
