Patent number: 11960253Abstract: A system and a method for parameter optimization with adaptive search space and a user interface using the same are provided. The system includes a data acquisition unit, an adaptive adjustment unit and an optimization search unit. The data acquisition unit obtains a set of executed values of several operating parameters and a target parameter. The adaptive adjustment unit includes a parameter space transformer and a search range definer. The parameter space transformer performs a space transformation on a parameter space of the operating parameters according to the executed values. The search range definer defines a parameter search range in a transformed parameter space based on the sets of the executed values. The optimization search unit takes the parameter search range as a limiting condition and takes optimizing the target parameter as a target to search for a set of recommended values of the operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Po-Yu Huang, Chun-Fang Chen, Hong-Chi Ku, Te-Ming Chen, Chien-Liang Lai, Sen-Chia Chang

Publication number: 20140005853Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring electric devices coupled to a power circuit are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first power feature of the power circuit at a time; obtaining a second power feature of the power circuit at another time; determining whether a power feature variation occurs according to the first and second power features. If the power feature variation occurs, the method further includes: adjusting the first power feature to a first normalized power feature according to a reference voltage; adjusting the second power feature to a second normalized power feature according to the reference voltage; recognizing that a status of one of the electric devices is changed from a first status to a second status according to the first and second normalized power features. By applying the method, whether the electric devices are switched on or off may be accurately recognized.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Hung-Yuan Chen, Chien-Liang Lai, Lun-Chia Kuo
