High fidelity sound reproduction requires the removal of sound distortion to enhance the listening experience. Looks expensive. But is it for you?
John O'Reilly is Emeritus Professor of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, UK. Damping and synchronising torque experts may demur but Professor O'Reilly lays claim to the only complete explanation as to how a power system stabiliser, a critical control device, actually works. A past Editor of the International Journal of Control, Dr O'Reilly was once rebuked by his Head of Department for publishing too much. His final oeuvre is thankfully modest by today's dizzyingly high levels of publication. The latter part of his career saw much collaboration with leading European companies in the power system, aerospace and automotive sectors. Professor O'Reilly owes a great debt of gratitude to colleagues, co-workers and students in many lands over many decades in diverse engineering fields. Earlier academic positions at Queen's University Belfast, Liverpool and Strathclyde have been formative. Professor O'Reilly has also enjoyed fruitful extended study visits to the Universities of Illinois, Notre-Dame, Stanford, Santa Barbara and Canterbury New Zealand.
