Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for subscribing a notification of a change of a network function. A method for subscribing to notification of a change of a network function may comprise: transmitting (S101) a subscription message to a monitoring network function; and receiving (S102) a notification from the monitoring network function to notify a change from the network function whose status is required to be monitored. The subscription message indicates of the network function. The attribute comprises a serving scope indicating one or more target served area of the network function whose status is required to be monitored. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a simple and fast implementation for subscribing notification of change of network function may be achieved. Particularly, both the response time and the accuracy of the notification about a change of a subscribed network function may be improved.

Abstract: The photovoltaic system includes an inverter, a fan, and a controller. A photovoltaic string and a direct current bus capacitor are connected between a positive input end and negative input end of the inverter. The controller receives a fast shutdown instruction and sends a drive signal to a switching transistor in the inverter, so that the switching transistor performs a switching action under the action of the drive signal, and the switching transistor consumes electric energy during the switching action; or the controller turns on the fan after receiving the fast shutdown instruction to consume electric energy by using the fan; or the controller may send the drive signal to the switching transistor and also control the fan to be turned on, so that both the switching transistor and the fan consume electric energy.

Abstract: A double-sided coating may include a substrate having a first side and an opposing second side, a first coating forming a first electrode arranged on the first side, and a second coating forming a second electrode arranged on the second side. Each of the first coating and the second coating have a thickness of at least 30 ?m and a surface roughness (Ra) of less than 10 ?m and are formed from a slurry including a liquid carrier suspending solid particles. The slurry includes a binder, an active material, and a conductive material.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be overlapped by an antiglare film. The antiglare film may have a rough surface to diffuse incident light, thereby reducing glare. Additionally, the antiglare film may have a smooth portion that forms a transparent window and allows light to pass through undiffused. The electronic device may include a light-based component, such as a camera, that receives undiffused light through the transparent window. By overlapping the light-based component with the transparent window, the light-based component may receive the light in an unimpeded manner, thereby making more accurate measurements of the light. The display may have one or more display layers, such as opaque masking layers or polarizers, with openings that are aligned with the transparent window. The light-based component may receive the light through these openings so that the light is not absorbed or polarized before reaching the component.
