  • Publication number: 20240134213
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide glasses and a wearable system. The glasses include a glasses frame and two temples connected to two sides of the glasses frame. The temple includes a shell and an inner cover. The inner cover is disposed on the shell to form an accommodation space, a main board is disposed in the accommodation space, and a wearing detection device is disposed on the main board. A detection electrode is disposed on an outer wall surface of the inner cover, and the detection electrode is connected to the main board. The detection electrode is configured to generate capacitive sensing between the detection electrode and a human body.

  • Publication number: 20240118350
    Abstract: Described is a method of identifying a short-circuit (SC) like event in a circuit breaker (CB). The method comprises sampling an incoming current to the CB to determine a maximum value of a slope of a curve of the incoming current. The method includes sampling the incoming current again before a level of the incoming current reaches a predetermined, preset, selected, or calculated SC threshold value THSC for the CB. The method involves determining from the sampled incoming current that a value of the slope of the incoming current has changed from its maximum slope value to a lower slope value to thereby determine that the incoming current is indicative of a SC like event and does not comprise a real SC event.

  • Publication number: 20220337166
    Abstract: A two-stage power converter has a Power-Factor Converter (PFC) and a Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter connected together by a DC link voltage. The DAB converter outputs a battery voltage with a battery current. A PFC controller divides a reference power constant by the battery voltage to get a battery current reference that is multiplied by a constant and compared to the DC link voltage to adjust Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) control signals to the PFC. The reference power constant is compared to the battery current during Constant-Power mode to cause a DAB controller to modulate duty ratio and phase difference between primary and secondary-side PWM control signals to the DAB converter. The DAB converter duty ratio and phase difference are modulated by comparing the battery current to a battery current limit during Constant-Current mode and by comparing the battery voltage to a battery voltage limit during Constant-Voltage mode.

  • Patent number: 11407322
    Abstract: A smart power hub has an AC port, a first DC port to a car battery, a second DC port to DC devices such as car instruments, and a third DC port to solar panels or another smart power hub. An AC bi-directional converter has six transistors in a B6 configuration to convert three-phase AC, acting as an interleaved totem-pole Power-Factor-Corrector for one-phase AC. A switch connects the DC bi-directional converter with either the AC bi-directional converter or the solar panels on the third DC port. A link capacitor has a DC link voltage that rises during battery charging. A DC bi-directional converter has a transformer, a primary bridge connected to the DC link voltage, and a secondary bridge of transistors connected to the first DC port. Auxiliary windings in the transformer drive a rectifier to the second DC port to power on-board DC devices. Solar DC charges the battery without AC conversion.

  • Publication number: 20210172946
    Abstract: A kit for measuring an anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, an application thereof, and a test method is provided. The kit includes a biotinylated antigen formed by coupling a plurality of branched peptide units having branched peptide chains using lysine, and the branched peptide units each is formed by coupling a plurality of citrullinated peptides using lysine. The kit and method have high test sensitivity and good specificity; compared with a mixed antigen, citrulline being coupled and then used as a single-component antigen, reduces the complexity of components of the antigen and the difficulty of quality control of the reagent, and improves inter-batch consistency, and quantitative test can be performed and the time needed to complete all procedures to obtain a result is 45 min.
