CONTROL DEVICE, LITHOGRAPHY APPARATUS, AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872178 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, LITHOGRAPHY APPARATUS, AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a control device that is used to control an object. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The control device has a generator that generates a probability distribution.
- This probability distribution is used to determine a manipulated variable, which is the variable that controls the object.
- The control device also has a determinator that determines the manipulated variable based on the probability distribution generated by the generator.
- During the operation phase, the determinator determines the manipulated variable based on the expectation value of the probability distribution.
Potential Applications:
- Industrial automation: The control device can be used in manufacturing processes to control various machines and equipment.
- Robotics: The device can be used in robotic systems to control the movement and actions of robots.
- Energy management: The control device can be used in smart grid systems to optimize energy consumption and distribution.
- Traffic control: The device can be used in traffic management systems to control traffic lights and optimize traffic flow.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient control: The control device provides a method for determining the manipulated variable based on a probability distribution, which can lead to more efficient and optimized control of the object.
- Adaptability: The use of a probability distribution allows the control device to adapt to changing conditions and uncertainties in the environment.
- Improved performance: By considering the expectation value of the probability distribution, the control device can make decisions that maximize performance and achieve desired outcomes.
Benefits:
- Increased efficiency: The control device can optimize the control of the object, leading to improved efficiency in various applications.
- Adaptability: The device can adapt to changing conditions and uncertainties, making it suitable for dynamic environments.
- Enhanced performance: By considering the expectation value of the probability distribution, the control device can make decisions that maximize performance and achieve desired outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device controls an object to be controlled. The device includes a generator configured to generate a probability distribution used to determine a manipulated variable, and a determinator configured to determine the manipulated variable based on the probability distribution generated by the generator. In an operation phase, the determinator determines the manipulated variable in accordance with an expectation value of the probability distribution.
