  • Publication number: 20170084170
    Abstract: Gesture-enabled remote control is implemented using a portable device having motion sensors and a wireless transmitter. An activation signal is received when the motion sensors detect a first prescribed motion of the portable device. A neutral orientation is then assigned to the portable device. The neutral orientation is defined by a position of the portable device at the time the activation signal is received. A control signal is generated when the motion sensors detect one of a plurality of prescribed movements of the portable device occurring within a prescribed window of time. Each prescribed movement includes movement of the portable device away from the neutral orientation and then back to the neutral orientation.

  • 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.
