By controls one understands the systematic monitoring of the business process by comparison about reached actual values with planned being. It is advisable to document apart from the originally fixed budget values, the changing, running along being separately. Only like that a meaningful examination of the business process is possible at each conceivable time. Controls presuppose a functional report system. They supplement besides planning, by guaranteeing the behavior of the high-level personnel and coworkers regarding adherence to t ...
A control unit is the part of a CPU or other device that directs its operation. The outputs of the unit control the activity of the rest of the device. A control unit can be thought of as a finite state machine.
At one time control units for CPUs were ad-hoc logic, and they were difficult to design. Now they are often implemented as a microprogram that is stored in a control store. Words of the microprogram are selected by a microsequencer and the bits from those words directly control the different parts of the device, includi ...
Self control is the exertion of one's own will on their personal self - their behaviors, actions, thought processes.
Much of this comes from the perception of self and the ability to set up boundaries for that self.

In engineering and mathematics, control theory deals with the behavior of dynamical systems over time. The desired output of a system is called the reference variable. When one or more output variables of a system need to show a certain behaviour over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system.
Control theory - An example.
As an example, consider cruise control. In this case, the system is a car. The goal of cruise control is to keep ...
Controlled airspace exists in areas where air traffic control is capable of providing traffic separation. These would often be areas where radar coverage is available, or at high altitudes where flight under visual flight rules (VFR) is prohibited. This does not mean that air traffic control actually provides services to all flights in the airspace, only that such service is possible.
In the United States, most airspace that is more than 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) is controlled airspace. Exceptions include remote and m ...
'Prescribed' or 'Controlled burning' is a part of forest management. Fire is a natural part of forest ecology and controlled fire is a useful tool for foresters.
Controlled burning stimulates the germination of some highly desirable forest trees, thus renewing the forest. Some seeds, such as sequoia, remain dormant until fire breaks down the seed coating.
Another consideration is actually fire control. In Florida, during the drought in 1998, catastrophic wildfires burned a number of homes. But forestry managers no ...
A control system is a device or set of devices that manage the behavior of other devices. Some devices or systems are not controllable.
A control system is an interconnection of components connected or related in such a manner as to command, direct, or regulate itself or another system.
There are two common types of controllers, with many variations and combinations: logic controls, and feedback or linear controls. There is also fuzzy logic, which attempts to combine the easy design of logic with the real-world ut ...
For the software build framework, see CruiseControl.
Cruise control (sometimes known as speed control or Autocruise) is a system to automatically control the speed of an automobile. The driver sets the speed and the system will take over the throttle of the car to maintain the same speed.
Cruise control - History.
Speed control with a centrifugal governor was used in automobiles as early as the 1910s, notably by Peerless. Peerless adverti ...
In computing, a control character or non-printing character, is a code point (a number) in a character set that does not in itself represent a written symbol. All entries in the ASCII table below 32 (technically the C0 control code set) are of this kind, including BEL (which is intended to cause an audible signal in the receiving terminal), SYN (which is a synchronization signal), and ENQ (a signal that is intended to trigger a response at the receiving end, to see if it is still present). The Unicode standard has added many ne ...

Birth control is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant. Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Mechanisms which are intended to reduce the likelihood of the fertilization of an ovum by a spermatozoon may more specifically be referred to as contraception. Contraception differs from abortion in that the former prevents fertilization, whereas a ...
Control of respiration refers to the physiological mechanisms involved in the control of respiration (physiology).
The most important function of breathing is gas exchange (of oxygen and carbon dioxide). Thus the control of respiration is centred primarily on how well this is achieved by the lungs.
Control of respiration - Control Unit.
The control unit of respiration consists of a processor (the breathing centre in the brain) which integrates inputs (emotional, chemical and physical stimuli) ...

Riot control are the measures to control a riot or to break up an unwanted demonstration (usually of protestors).
Riot control - Tactics.
The initial choice of tactics determines the type of manpower and equipment used. The base choice is between lethal (e.g. 12 gauge shotgun) and non-lethal weaponry (e.g. tear gas). The decision is based on the perceived level of threat and the existing laws; in many countries it is illegal to use lethal force to control riots in all but the most extreme circumstances. ...
