These ideas didn't agree with each other.2. The data are not in agreement with the previous observation.3. This assumption won't hold for electrons.4. This type of classification is out of keeping with the fundamentalapproach to the problem.5. This equation is not valid for this theory.6. These ideas do not fit together.7.
The hypothesis is in contradiction to the theory of design gap.8. This statement is not true for linear activity.TASK 9. Answer the questions making use of the expressions: not toagree with, to be out of keeping with, to fit into, to be in contradictionto, to be not valid for, to be not true for. Begin your answers with theexpressions:To my knowledgeFrom my point of view InAs far as I can judgemy opinionExample: What do you think of the results obtained?In my opinion the results obtained are not in agreement with the theory.1. What do you think of the data (the previous observations) reported?2.

Translate into English:1. Результаты этих исследований неверны.2. Эта оценка сложности проектирования неверна.3. Этот результат не согласуется с ранее полученными данными.4. Ваши выводы противоречат проведенным испытаниям.5. Эти данные не согласуются друг с другом.6. Полученные экспериментальные данные не соответствуютрассматриваемой теории.TASK 11.
Recast the following sentences making use of the expressions: to be characteristic of to be typical of to be characterized by, tobe similar to.1. Design is a complex combination of creativity and analysis.2. Engineer creatively uses everything he knows to find out thecontent of a system.3. To meet these specifications it is necessary to develop and evaluate various alternative solutions.4. The design process includes several continuous test points and anumber of intermediate results.5. If a system is stable, the response to a specific input signal willprovide several new measures.6.
This approach is quite useful because there is a reasonable correlation between the response of a system to a standard test input andthe system's ability to perform under normal operating conditions.7. Many control systems experience input signals comparable to thestandard test signals.TASK 12. Find in Text A the examples of the constructionVerb+Preposition (to think of etc.).
Compose sentences with them (inwritten form) and exchange them with your group-mates for furthertranslation.TASK 13. Read and translate the text.TEXT 3B. Control System DesignThe design of control systems is a specific example of engineeringdesign. Again, the goal of control engineering design is to obtain the27configuration, specifications, and identification of key parameters of aproposed system to meet an actual need.The first step in the design process consists of identifying the variables that one desires to control.
For example, one may state that thegoal is to accurately control the velocity of a motor. The second step isto write the specifications in terms of the accuracy one must attain. Thisrequired accuracy of control will then lead to the identification of a sensor to measure the controlled variable.The designer then proceeds to the first attempt to configure a systemthat will result in the desired control performance.
This system configuration will normally consist of a sensor, the process under control, anactuator, and a controller. The next step consists of identifying a candidate for the actuator. This will, of course, depend on the process, but theactuation chosen must be capable of effectively adjusting the performance of the process. For example, if we wish to control the speed of arotating flywheel, we will select a motor as the actuator. The sensor, inthis case, will need to be capable of accurately measuring the speed.The next step is the selection of a controller, which will often consist of a summing amplifier that will compare the desired response andthe actual response and then forward this error-measurement signal to acompensator.The final step in the design process is the adjustment of the parameters of the system in order to achieve the desired performance.TASK 14.
