  • Patent number: 9754329
    Abstract: A management system, a smart meter, a server, an operation method and a management method are provided. The management system includes a remote server and at least one smart meter. The smart meter is coupled to the remote server via a communication network. The smart meter measures electrical energy of at least one power line to obtain at least one batch of electricity data. The smart meter detects whether the loading event occurs. If the loading event occurs, the smart meter performs data compression on the electricity data obtained during an event period corresponding to the loading event to obtain compressed data, and uploads the compressed data to the remote server. The remote server performs data decompression on the compressed data to obtain decompressed data. The remote server performs load identification according to the decompressed data.

  • Publication number: 20140227393
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a functional fermented milk product with low acidity and containing a low content of lactose and enriched with galactooligosaccharide and Bifidobacterium, and functional fermented milk product prepared therewith. The process is characterized by converting lactose in milk materials to galactooligosaccharide before subjecting the milk materials to lactic fermentation. The process is further characterized by adding fructooligosaccharide to milk materials before subjecting the milk materials to lactic fermentation; the addition of fructooligosaccharide promotes growth of Bifidobacterium during lactic fermentation and increases the amount of galactooligosaccharide in the final product.

  • Patent number: 7989746
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rail-type solar tracking system with a focusing function. The invention includes a plurality of support elements, a Fresnel lens, a rail platform, a load bearing platform and a pushing device. The system moves a solar cell on the load bearing platform to a focus position where sunlight is focused by the Fresnel lens to collect solar energy. Hence, the invention collects solar energy without moving heavy lens so as to reduce power consumption and improve the electric power generating efficiency of the solar cell.

  • Publication number: 20100224181
    Abstract: The present invention provide a high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system comprising a lens set, a solar cell platform, a track set, a driving device, a plate, and a second magnet set. With this system, a solar cell on the solar cell platform can be moved to a focus position of the sunlight passed through lenses of the lens set for collecting solar energy without moving heavy lenses, so as to reduce power consumption and to improve the power generation efficiency of the solar cell. Moreover, the sunlight that is not collected by the lenses yet can be collected by the plate with holes and optical fibers for other applications such as an illumination to improve the utilizing efficiency of the solar energy.
