explore a new non-comparison sort. The linear transform sort uses alinear transformation to generate new keys between 0 and n and uses those keys to sort the datausing a recursive bucket sort. The idea of using new computed keys is adapted from theSchwartzian Transform [4], where a sorting key is extracted from other extraneous data all atonce instead of repeatedly during runtime. This sort is a proof of concept that transformation can adapt the input of non-comparisonsorts to increase speed of sorting. We will outline the linear transform sort algorithm, inductivelyprove its functionality, outline best and worst cases, present test data, and propose improvementsfor further research.Algorithmlinear transform sort(S)Input: a list of

througha simple measurement using a smartphone. The concept of using the accelerometer sensor in mobilephones for physics experiments has become a well-known option for STEM teachers [10]. Sincethese devices are readily available to most students and teachers, experiments can be set up at lowcost while generating interest and motivation for learning.The smartphone app called Phyphox™ is used to record the accelerometer readings and report theearth's acceleration of 9.81 m/s² while the phone is resting (which is what we call "Accelerationwith g"). In contrast, the physical acceleration is zero when the phone is resting (or moving at aconstant speed), so there is a virtual sensor that subtracts the constant acceleration (usually by takinginto

To do this,Taguchi experiments will be utilized, along with Signal to Noise (S/N) ratios and factorial plots,to analyze the results. The aim of this paper is to introduce the application of quality controlmethods in performance optimization for an automated electrohydraulic position control system.The system setup, hardware, software, and programming will be introduced.
