  • Patent number: 11971314
    Abstract: A method calculates temperatures in an electric drive unit. A first temperature detection region has a first temperature and a second temperature detection region has a second temperature. The first temperature is influenced by a first coupling value which is non-linearly dependent on the first temperature and the temperature at the first and second temperature detection regions. The calculations are divided among separate calculation units such that the temperatures can be estimated in real time.

  • Patent number: 10843939
    Abstract: An energy-saving seawater desalination device using power generated in complementary cooperation of wind energy and light energy, and a control method are provided. The device comprises an electrical control cabinet, a photovoltaic power generation component, a wind power generation component, an energy storage device, an electric heater, etc. The present invention supplies power for power loads of a seawater desalination system through solar power generation and wind power generation in a grid-connected system, and cooperates with the traditional power grid to maximize and localize the utilization of new energy power and reduce the waste of resources. In an off-grid system, the photovoltaic power generation component and the wind power generation component convert redundant power into other forms of energy resources for energy storage through a battery or an electric heater under the condition that the generating capacity is enough.

  • Publication number: 20040109015
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multimedia broadcasting apparatus. The multimedia broadcasting apparatus includes one plug-compatible base for providing inserting different specification memory cards and utilizes an interface switching circuitry to switch and connect the interface for a compression and decompression circuitry to compress the written in data and decompress the read out data. The compression and decompression circuitry is connecting with a memory, a signal converting control circuitry, and a multimedia drive circuitry for using the memory storing the data. Then, a signal converting control circuitry is to convert the decompressed read out data from a digital signal into an analog signal and to output a drive order into the multimedia drive circuitry connecting to drive a image display device and a audio broadcast device to output the analog signal. Furthermore, a power supply device is provided for providing the required power for the action of all member mentioned above.
