    Abstract: In an approach, a processor predicts a thermal load caused by a door opening event in at least part of a cargo space of a refrigerated transport vehicle based on, at least, an external ambient condition, environmental factors within the cargo space, and a duration of the door opening event. A processor obtains pre-cooling profile information describing cargo space temperature performance with a pre-cooling operation under conditions corresponding to, at least, the predicted thermal load caused by the door opening event. A processor determines a distribution path for the refrigerated transport vehicle based on the predicted thermal load caused by the door opening event and the obtained pre-cooling profile information, wherein the distribution path is associated with the pre-cooling operation.

  • Publication number: 20170060159
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, the energy consumption assessment is done by identifying the benchmark production processes or enterprises. First, a process similarity between a target production process and a candidate production process is determined based on energy consumption units (ECUs) involved in the target production process and the candidate production process. In response to the process similarity being greater than a first threshold, an energy consumption similarity between the target production process and the candidate production process is determined based on a factor that has influence on energy consumption of at least one of the ECUs. In response to the energy consumption similarity being greater than a second threshold, the candidate production process is identified as a benchmark for assessing energy consumption of the target production process.

  • Publication number: 20170010511
    Abstract: An array substrate, a method of producing the array substrate, and a display panel incorporating the array substrate are disclosed. The array substrate includes a substrate, a gate line, a data line, and a spacer. The gate line and the data line are arranged over the substrate. The spacer is arranged over the gate line and the data line. The gate line and/or the data line is provided with a via hole at a position corresponding to a spacer. In this manner, a problem of a display panel having gaps of different sizes after assembly because of non-uniform thicknesses of the gate line and/or the data line can be avoided, which, in turn, prevents inhomogeneous color in the display.
