  • Publication number: 20250038705
    Abstract: A method may include generating current and voltage (I-V) data of a photovoltaic (PV) panel at a plurality of predetermined time intervals during operation of the PV panel. The method may also include generating environmental data of a site of the PV panel at the plurality of predetermined time intervals. In addition, the method may include generating I-V characteristic data based on the I-V data and the environmental data. The I-V characteristic data may be representative of actual operating performance of the PV panel over a predetermined period of time corresponding to a duration of the predetermined time intervals.

  • Publication number: 20140364771
    Abstract: Pressure sensitive devices, systems and methods for alerting a user of movements potentially adverse to health or surgical recovery are disclosed. The pressure sensitive device may include a force sensor placed along the anterior aspect of a hand; and a vibration motor in communication with the force sensor in close proximity to the user, e.g., along the posterior aspect of the wrist. The vibration motor is configured to vibrate upon the measured force exceeding a predetermined threshold. This threshold can be adjusted according to clinical application and/or user need. The pressure sensitive device may further include a memory chip or wireless transmitter for recording and relaying data associated with a patient profile, and is enabled to interface with a Wi-Fi sensing technology. Logged data may be used for patient rehabilitation.

  • Patent number: 8763630
    Abstract: A sewer flushing device 20 for location in a sewage system. The device comprises a housing 21 adapted for location in a sewage flow path 14 and a gate 22 pivotally supported on the housing 21 and movable between open and closed positions. The gate is biased towards its closed position so as to inhibit the flow of sewage and thereby cause a build up of sewage. In this way, when the sewage upstream of the gate 22 reaches a predetermined level the gate is urged to its open position such that a flushing pulse of sewage flows downstream. There may also be provided a locating device 23 for holding the housing 21 in the required position within the sewage system. The locating device may comprise a sewer engaging portion 51,52 adapted to locate in a sewer channel 12,14, and a housing connector 54 adapted to connect to the housing 21.
