Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for controlling a variable parameter of a system, comprising the steps of:monitoring a current system status, the current system status corresponding to the status of a system;accessing a data structure having data locations for at least one prior system status, each prior system status corresponding to a previously assessed status of the system and having a corresponding prior output and a corresponding prior result;determining whether the current system status matches a prior system status in the data structure;if the current system status does not match a prior system status, providing a current output based upon a predetermined value, wherein the current output is output to the system for control of the variable parameter; andif the current system status does match a prior system status, providing a current output that is based upon the prior output corresponding to the matched prior system status, wherein the current output is output to the system for control of the variable parameter.
