  This paper addresses the main goal of using reset control in precision motion
control systems, breaking of the well-known "Waterbed effect". A new
architecture for reset elements will be introduced which has a continuous
output signal as opposed to conventional reset elements. A steady-state
precision study is presented, showing the steady-state precision is preserved
while the peak of sensitivity is reduced. The architecture is then used for a
"Constant in Gain Lead in Phase" (CgLp) element and a numerical analysis on
transient response shows a significant improvement in transient response. It is
shown that by following the presented guideline for tuning, settling time can
be reduced and at the same time a non-overshoot step response can be achieved.
A practical example is presented to verify the results and also to show that
the proposed element can achieve a complex-order behaviour.
