In 1997 I start making 3d models and graphics, inspired from the movies "Cyberjack" & "Bladerunner".

Mine comes from the classic Sci-Fi movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" Patricia Neal had to give the orders "Klaatu Berada Nichto" to the robot Gort, telling him not to destroy the Earth. Sometimes I wonder if she should have said "Klaatu Berada YESto"

Simple...My name is TOdd JOnes...Hence...ToeJo! The "E" is there so you know how to pronounce it. It was given to me by a friend I used to work with at a car dealership. It stuck and now everyone in this rinky dink town calls me ToeJo.

It was a dark night on the moors, I had a little too much to drink and went wandering in to, uhhh, relieve myself. Suddenly there was a soul piercing howl...a rustle in the bushes...a large shaped jumped out at me, clawing...biting...tickling.....................

Anyone here old enough to remember Citizen Band radios... better know as CB's? Well when I was about 5 years old everyone in my family was talking on the CB's. Me being the youngest I wanted to take part as well... only problem was I would speak to close to the mic and too loudly! So no one could understand what I was saying... My mother dubbed my handle "static" but I prefere "§tatic"

Well Static, I still have one in my truck. Doesn't get much use. By the way, don't know how to make that funny symbol.

Sir WOM hold down "Alt" then on your numeric keypad press 789 then release the "Alt" key = §
I still find the CB useful on the highway, listening to the chatter or Truckers and finding out where those speed traps are... mostly Tow truck drivers have that info...

The concept of Fuzzy Logic (FL) was conceived by Lotfi Zadeh, a professor at the University of California at Berkley, and presented not as a control methodology, but as a way of processing data by allowing partial set membership rather than crisp set membership or non-membership. This approach to set theory was not applied to control systems until the 70's due to insufficient small-computer capability prior to that time. Professor Zadeh reasoned that people do not require precise, numerical information input, and yet they are capable of highly adaptive control. If feedback controllers could be programmed to accept noisy, imprecise input, they would be much more effective and perhaps easier to implement. Unfortunately, U.S. manufacturers have not been so quick to embrace this technology while the Europeans and Japanese have been aggressively building real products around it.
WHAT IS FUZZY LOGIC?
In this context, FL is a problem-solving control system methodology that lends itself to implementation in systems ranging from simple, small, embedded micro-controllers to large, networked, multi-channel PC or workstation-based data acquisition and control systems. It can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both. FL provides a simple way to arrive at a definite conclusion based upon vague, ambiguous, imprecise, noisy, or missing input information. FL's approach to control problems mimics how a person would make decisions, only much faster.
HOW IS FL DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL CONTROL METHODS?
FL incorporates a simple, rule-based IF X AND Y THEN Z approach to a solving control problem rather than attempting to model a system mathematically. The FL model is empirically-based, relying on an operator's experience rather than their technical understanding of the system. For example, rather than dealing with temperature control in terms such as "SP =500F", "T <1000F", or "210C
HOW DOES FL WORK?
FL requires some numerical parameters in order to operate such as what is considered significant error and significant rate-of-change-of-error, but exact values of these numbers are usually not critical unless very responsive performance is required in which case empirical tuning would determine them. For example, a simple temperature control system could use a single temperature feedback sensor whose data is subtracted from the command signal to compute "error" and then time-differentiated to yield the error slope or rate-of-change-of-error, hereafter called "error-dot". Error might have units of degs F and a small error considered to be 2F while a large error is 5F. The "error-dot" might then have units of degs/min with a small error-dot being 5F/min and a large one being 15F/min. These values don't have to be symmetrical and can be "tweaked" once the system is operating in order to optimize performance. Generally, FL is so forgiving that the system will probably work the first time without any tweaking.
SUMMARY
FL was conceived as a better method for sorting and handling data but has proven to be a excellent choice for many control system applications since it mimics human control logic. It can be built into anything from small, hand-held products to large computerized process control systems. It uses an imprecise but very descriptive language to deal with input data more like a human operator. It is very robust and forgiving of operator and data input and often works when first implemented with little or no tuning.
In practise FL is all about how much chocolate you can eat in a day
