"Adaptive PID controller" was invented by Chad S. Samuels (Fort Collins, Colo.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An adaptive engine and adaptive control method. The method comprises receiving an input regressor and applying one or more estimation laws to the input regressor to estimate a plurality of estimated model parameter tensors for a nonlinear model. The method also includes computing an estimation error or a cost function using a system output measurement and an estimated system output for the previous iteration and determining a model order based a...
