Valve systems and related methods include valve actuators and control systems configured to monitor at least one characteristic of the valve system during movement of a valve element to a position in the valve system and to determine a drift of the position based on the monitored at least one characteristic of the valve system.

A facility for the production of containers from blanks, which facility includes: a forming unit equipped with a rotating carrousel driven by a motor; a unit for heating blanks, equipped with infrared emitters and a power feed for each emitter; a control unit having in the memory a nominal speed setpoint .sub.N of the rotation of the carrousel and a nominal electrical power setpoint P.sub.N. The control unit is programmed for: controlling the rotation of the carrousel according to the nominal speed setpoint .sub.N. During its acceleration: taking into account the real instantaneous speed of rotation of the carrousel, and regulating the electrical power of the feed to an instantaneous value P such that: $P\left(t\right)=P_N.Math.\frac{}{{}_N}$

A gimbal control method includes configuring, while a gimbal is in a power-on state, turning-off motor control parameters according to a mass of a camera device carried by the gimbal. The gimbal includes an electric motor. The turning-off motor control parameters are configured to control the electric motor when the gimbal is powered off or enters a sleep state. The method further includes, in response to the gimbal being powered off or entering the sleep state, controlling a torque of the electric motor to decrease gradually from a starting moment at which the gimbal is powered off or enters the sleep state according to the turning-off motor control parameters.

A vehicle includes a rolling chassis structure and a working component coupled to the rolling chassis structure. The rolling chassis structure includes a chassis, a non-working component, and a control interface. The non-working component is coupled to the chassis and is configured to facilitate transit operations for the rolling chassis structure. The control interface is disposed in a cab area of the chassis. The control interface is communicably coupled to the non-working component and is configured to control operation of the non-working component. The working component is configured to move relative to the chassis and is communicably coupled to the control interface. The control interface is configured to control movement of the working component.
