Classical control methods are still in vogue because of their ability to guide us, rather intuitively, in achieving desired responses with appropriate tradeoffs. Nevertheless, there are some inherent limitations and difficulties. This article puts forward some of the questions that troubled us and proposes a new approach to the lead–lag compensation of single-input, single-output, linear time-invariant systems, the ones we were introduced to in our first course on control systems. The target specifications we have taken are meant for standard second-order systems. We show that both the transient and steady-state needs are met using the proposed nonconventional lag–lead compensator. The superiority of this new compensator model is reported in this article with some case studies as well as experimental results.

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
