Deterministic control in knowledge-based systems: application to the development of a cybernetic analytical instrument

“…The external devices used for a pHstat include a pH meter, a thermistor, and two solenoid-actuated valves for the addition of acid or base. > ie' «i ia' ¡e lee iiia seconds Chart II frame( 1 .control,delay, [v(delay,300)]) frame (2,alarm,red, [v(beep, 102)]) frame (3,alarm,pink,[v(beep, 102)]) frame (4,alarm,green, [v(beep, 102)]) frame (5,alarm,yellow, [v(beep, 102)]) frame(20,control,solenoidO, [v(add_rate, 1) ]) / # solenoidO assign for control #/ frame(21,control,solenoidO,[v(add_rate,3)]) /# of acid #/ frame (22,control,solenoidO, [v(add_rate,5]) frame (23,control,solenoidO, [v(add_rate, 10]) frame(24,control,solenoidO,[v(add_rate,30]) frame(30,control,solenoid 1, [v(add_rate, 1) ]) / # solenoid 1 assign for control #/ frame(31,control,solenoidl,[v(add_rate,3)]) /# of base #/ frame(32, control, solenoid l,[v(add_rate, cond ( 10,anticipated acidic) cond(l 1,temperature >50) cond(12,pH <3.0) cond(14,pH between 3 and 5) cond(15,pH between 5 and 6) cond(16,pH between 6 and 6.5) rulefl,pHstat,actuate acid solenoid with 45 pulses,[22,23,24], [5]) rule(4,pHstat,actuate acid solenoid with 3 pulses,[21], [5]) rule(5,pHstat,actuate acid solenoid with 3 pulses,[21], [6]) rule(6,pHstat,actuate acid solenoid with 3 pulses,[21], [7]) rule(7,pHstat,delay titration,[1,1,1], [7]) rule (8,pHstat,delay rule(20,pHstat,actuate red alarm-acidic, [2], [2,10]) rule(21,pHstat,actuate pink alarm-neutral, [3], [8,16]) rule(22,pHstat,actuate green alarm-alkaline, [4], [1,3]) rule(23,pHstat,actuate yellow alarm-temperature high, [5],[11]) Figure 3a gives the experimental response where the rules (Chart I) for the addition of acid or base are not optimized.…”

Heuristic approaches to the design of a cybernetic electroanalytical instrument

“…Whereas LISP has been long popular in America, PROLOG has only recently gained attention, primarily because of the Japanese fifth-generation artificial intelligence project. 21 We have chosen to implement the knowledge-based system in PROLOG because of its simplicity of use and elegant structure based on first-order predicate For the sake of clarity in the explanation of the present system implementation, essential features of the language are presented here.…”
