A method and system for controlling a fluid valve are described that avoid the effects of hysteresis. In hysteresis, the power signals associated with a valve position are different on the upstroke and downstroke. As a result, predicting the valve position can be difficult if you only know the current power signal. Instead of using upstrokes and downstrokes, a valve can momentarily be set to zero power, or a rest position when receiving a new command signal. This way the command signal is applied from a zero power or rest position, making the valve position more predictable and accurate.

An approach to predicting the outcome of a computer security response. The approach can analyze an unlabeled set of network data and based on the analysis, create a language model of the network. The approach can process the language model to predict a reduction factor associated with network availability. The approach can further process the language model and a malicious sequence to predict an effectiveness factor associated with blocking the malicious sequence. The approach can output bot the reduction factor and the effectiveness factor to a network administrator for determining the applicability of the computer security response.
