  "textContent": "A “configurator” sits logically between a control mechanism of a machine and an actuator of the machine. The configurator (which may, for example, be a separate hardware element or a method running on a computer processor) receives output signals from the control mechanism. Either those output signals contain a time-rate-of-change of the control mechanism or the configurator calculates the time-rate-of-change of the control mechanism by analyzing multiple control output signals. The configurator then alters a speed-of-response value of the actuator based on the control mechanism's time-rate-of-change and sends commands to the actuator based on its revised speed-of-response. The actuator responds to the commands to alter an aspect of the machine's behavior.",
