deadband , also: dead band , also: neutral zone , also: dead zone

The low end of the deadband is just above the temperature where the heating system turns on.

A smoke detector is also an example of hysteresis, not deadband.

He expects James because Barry arrives earlier from the deadband.

The service routine introduces the small refinement to the basic control strategy in the form of a "deadband".

Barry is sent to a deadband where he verifies that Tom is not there.

The calculated output must leave the deadband before the actual output will change.

The width of deadband may be adjustable or programmable.

In many cases, auxiliary equipment like a positioner is required to reduce the deadband to an acceptably small value.

We have negotiated that there be a .5% deadband before any fee is assessed for estimating data.

This is accomplished by modifying the controller to hold its output steady if the change would be small (within the defined deadband range).

A control valve may require periodic maintenance to correct leaks, noise, vibration, increasing deadband, and so forth.

Gear teeth with slop (backlash) exhibit deadband.

Q: Does the "causer pays" arrangement for small frequency deviation services encourage participants to increase the deadband of their governors.

However, Moog later recommended adding a deadband mod and published this mod in their factory service notes.

Heavy duty servo's with high speed, high torque capability, with custom chip for narrow deadband.

One method is to use small propulsion-system thrusters to incessantly nudge the spacecraft back and forth within a deadband of allowed attitude error.

Leadscrews generally also have backlash and hence a deadband, which must be taken into account when making position adjustments, especially with CNC systems.

Optional dual form "C" contact outputs, latching configurable, keypad adjustable setpoints and deadband.

This charge will be allocated among RESs who are out of balance in the direction of the net and whose imbalance exceeds their individual deadband.

This 'deadband' prevents the servo from 'hunting'and allows for the inevitable backlash, friction and inertia of the gearbox and motor.

If mechanical backlash eliminators are not available, the control can compensate for backlash by adding the deadband value to the position vector whenever direction is reversed.

Therefore, practical on-off control systems are designed to include hysteresis which acts as a deadband, a region around the setpoint value in which no control action occurs.

A thermostat which sets a single temperature and automatically controls both heating and cooling systems without a mode change exhibits a deadband range around the target temperature.

Where wear is a significant concern, the PID loop may have an output deadband to reduce the frequency of activation of the output (valve).

Mechanical maintenance can be a major cost and wear leads to control degradation in the form of either stiction or a deadband in the mechanical response to an input signal.
