Telex, international message-transfer service consisting of a network of teleprinters connected by a system of switched exchanges.
A three-component molecular system capable of switching fluorescence ON and OFF was designed and synthesized.
Hence the system dynamics of switched systems are comprised of a family of continuous or discrete subsystems and a signal handling the switching among the subsystems.
More precisely, these networks often evolve to become hybrid dynamical systems – feedback interconnections of switching systems, which have discrete state sets, with systems whose dynamics evolve on continuous state spaces[9].
Lighting is very complicated - bulbs hidden under edges of ceiling, controlled by fantastic system of switches so that room can be bathed in white, red, blue, or amber light.
It includes the system of switches that, acting like dimmer switches for lights, control which genes are used in a cell and when they are used, and determine, for instance, whether a cell becomes a liver cell or a neuron.
Recently, optimization problems of hybrid systems and, in particular, optimization problems of switching systems have attracted a lot of theoretical and practical interest [3, 6 10].
Mathematically such systems come under the description of switching dynamical systems, where the dynamics toggle between two (or more) sets of differential equations, determined by switching conditions.
Wouldn't it be rather strange to install a videoconferencing system with the intention of switching the video off?
A delay-dependent condition is now provided to guarantee the (H_{infty} ) performance of the considered switched system by the design of switching signal.
