Abstract: A hand-off monitoring method is provided for monitoring a space divided into several monitoring regions. Each of the monitoring regions is monitored by a surveillance camera. The hand-off monitoring method comprises receiving a warning signal from a location and identifying a first surveillance camera related to the location according to the warning signal. Then, an object triggering the warning signal is identified according to a video signal provided by the first surveillance camera. A moving path of the object is predicted according to a non-linear movement prediction model. Then, a control operation is performed, according to the moving path, to control the surveillance cameras in the monitoring regions where the moving path passes so as to hand-off monitor the object.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an LED lighting equipment failure detecting system for detecting if an LED lighting equipment is failure. The LED lighting equipment failure detecting system includes a current measuring unit, a parameter measuring unit, a storage unit and a control unit. The current measuring unit and the parameter measuring unit measure a present current value and a present operating parameter of at least one LED of the LED lighting equipment respectively. The control unit calculates a present condition parameter of the LED according to the present current value and the present operating parameter. The control unit calculates a condition parameter difference between the present condition parameter and the initial condition parameter stored in the storage unit. If the condition parameter difference is more than the abnormal condition threshold, the control unit determines that the LED of the LED lighting equipment is abnormal.

By adjusting the degree of saturation of the first high polymeric elastomer resin and the second high polymeric elastomer resin, the fine fibers will have smaller size and will not be easily entangled. Therefore, a workpiece to be polished will not be scratched and will have excellent surface quality.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for estimating temperature are provided for estimating a temperature of a test point in a space with an air conditioner. In the method, a first and a second sensor device are deployed in the space, wherein the second sensor device is deployed at the test point.

Abstract: A quadrature mirror filter is applied to decompose an image into at least two sub-images each having a different resolution. These decomposed sub-images pass through self-organizing map neural networks for performing a non-supervisory classification learning. In a testing stage, the recognition process is performed from sub-images having a lower resolution. If the image can not be identified in this low resolution, the possible candidates are further recognized in a higher level of resolution.
