I am trying to use the Matlab Function block in Simulink. I'm running Matlab R2013a 32-bit on a 64-bit Windows laptop. I get the following Simulink error: Error using slsf (line 119) CRL: "Simulation Target IPP BLAS" cannot be found in the registry. I don't think the error has anything to do...

@Mike Halloran: Thank you for that citation. I found it, and it's very interesting. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, since the configuration of the space shuttle computers don't affect the dynamic behavior of the shuttle, ie the shuttle would perform the same if there were 2 or 5...

Thanks for those examples. I'll read up on BIT to learn more about it. However, those examples are all looking at limits or trends in individual component behavior (increased power, changes in friction). What I'm especially interested in is fault detection of individual components based on...

The system I am interested in is a dynamically coupled mechanical system powered by actuators under closed-loop control with various sensors providing input. The sensor and actuator behaviors are all driven by the dynamic state of this system, and so in this sense the subsystems are coupled in...

I have a problem in fault detection I am working on. It involves the detection of faults in a system (plant) that is made up of subsystems that are copies of each other. These subsystems can be interchanged, and the size of the plant is determined by how many subsystems are connected. The...

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. It is great to have a forum like this to exchange ideas and get advice from so many competent people in the field. Drawoh, I agree with you, I think it is dangerous to make such a note on the drawing, although I have seen it done many times. The end...

Thanks for the feedback guys. The note that is desired is "may be made from part B" which is a little different from saying, "may be made from a blank". The concern I have is keeping up with all these such kind of cross-references which are not formalized in our configuration management...

Here's a question: Is it "acceptable" to put a note on a part-drawing stating that the part (part A) can be made from another part (part B) controlled by another different part-drawing. I think we are trying to keep process notes like this out of drawings, and let Manufacturing decide if they...

Thanks! -Damon

Very cool. Good prices. I tried to find the 68CP series on their web site but there was no mention of it. It seems the 6xCP series in their comparison page only goes up to 500psi. What is the pressure range of the 68CP series? -Damon

Very cool. Thanks for the lead! -Damon

Thanks Cadstarsucks [2thumbsup]

Entran's least expensive sensor is $135. So far the least expensive sensor I've found is $95 from Omega. Most of these sensors have accuracy to .25% FS, I would be happy with 2% or even worse. Seems nobody makes such a thing. -Damon

They're a little down on my list. I'll get there tomorrow. -Damon

Of course. And I get 180,000 hits. I get 446 hits from Thomas Register. I only get 135 hits from GlobalSpec. I've started to slowly whittle away on it. But I was just hoping that someone here might be able to easily save me some time. -Damon
