ABSTRACT:
A household appliance includes a supervisory level controller for controlling operation of the appliance in accordance with operator-determined performance objectives. The supervisory level controller includes a disturbance parameter estimator coupled to receive appliance condition signals from sensor systems on the appliance for processing the signals to generate estimated appliance operating states; a sequential sensor integrator for generating a temporally-integrated estimated appliance operating state signal; and an optimizer coupled to the sensor systems and the sequential sensor integrator to receive signals therefrom and process those signals in accordance with a fuzzy logic architecture to generate control signals for application to actuator systems of the appliance in correspondence with operator-determined performance objectives.
