A cruise control is an example of a closed loop servo.
closed loop system
The closed loop control refers to a system whereby an input forcing function is usually determined in part by the system response.
A Closed loop system basically will have a feedback which enables the rectification of the error in the main process,whereas it is not possible in an open loop system
Sensitivity of a closed loop system for a change in the system gain is 1/(1+GH)
Q: What is the difference between 'Open Loop' and 'Closed Loop'? A: When the engine is first started, and rpm is above 400 rpm, the system goes into 'Open Loop' operation. In 'Open Loop', the ECM will ignore the signal from the Oxygen (O2) sensor and calculate the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the coolant and MAF sensors, but mostly from a pre-programmed table in the memcal. The system will stay in 'Open Loop' until the following conditions are met: 1. The O2 sensor has varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly. (This depends on temperature) 2. The coolant sensor is above a specified temperature about 40oC/104oF. 3. A specific amount of time has elapsed after starting the engine. The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the mem-cal. When these conditions are met, the system goes into 'Closed Loop' operation. In 'Closed Loop', the ECM will calculate the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the various sensors but mainly the O2 sensor. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.
Cruises that begin and end at the same port in the United States are considered closed-loop. The cruise must also include a visit to at least one foreign port in the Western Hemisphere. For example, a cruise that sails from Port Canaveral, visits the southern Caribbean and returns to Port Canaveral is considered a closed-loop cruise. A repositioning or Panama Canal cruise is not closed-loop because the cruise begins and ends in different cities.

Yes it is
In industry closed control is a closed loop feedback where a pump or motor has an encoder or feedback device to keep the operation regulated.
yes
stability and repeatability
It refers to asystem whereby the loop of control is closed to outside interference.
Open loop (single cycle) involves a break requiring a restart, easily adapted to closed loop.
The Nyquist stability criterion, named after Harry Nyquist, provides a simple test for stability of a closed-loop control system by examining the open-loop system's Nyquist plot. Under many circumstances, stability of the closed-loop control system may be determined directly by computing the poles of the closed-loop transfer function. In contrast, the Nyquist stability criterion allows stability to be determined without computing the closed-loop poles
You do not need a passport to cruise ONLY if you are on a "closed loop" cruise from the United States. (i.e your port where you embark on is in Florida and at the end of your cruise you come back to Florida to disembark.) If you are starting or ending your cruise in another country then you will need a passport. Also check the U.S customs and borders web site. www.WHTI. Gov
