Abstract:
Closed-loop systems - Update 2020 Abstract. The artificial pancreas (also referred to as a Closed-loop system) represents the latest development in diabetes therapy. Closed-loop systems autonomously direct subcutaneous insulin infusion via a control algorithm based on real-time continuous glucose monitoring. Closed-loop systems have been tested in clinical studies since 2011, and were shown to improve glucose control by reducing hyper- and hypoglycaemia as well as glucose variability when compared with conventional insulin pump therapy. In 2016, the US regulatory authority approved the first hybrid-closed-loop system for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Hybrid-closed loop systems are not yet fully automated and still require the user to be actively involved for insulin dosing at mealtimes. In spite of the remarkable progress, the delayed action profile of subcutaneously administered insulin and the need to wear multiple devices on the body remain challenging. The present review article summarizes the current state of the art of closed-loop systems in diabetes care and will address technical aspects, evidence from clinical studies as well as future developments in the field.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...
Classification of Systems-I
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
