[edit] Centroids result in less than maximum output?

One thing has me puzzeled - using the centroid of the output function will always result in less than the maximal value in the output set, which leaves some of the output power always unused. As an example, if an electric motor is being controlled with a triangular output function, and 0-100% of the motor current is available for output, taking the centroid of a right triangle (this exact shape picked at random for the puposes of this example) is 2/3 of the length of the base - so the maximum current ever provided to the motor is 67% of the total current avialable. Certainly, we would want to use 100% of the avaiable power at some point? Can anybody explain this? Fireproeng (talk) 22:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, shouldn't it be possible to normalize the output of the centroid function? - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
