  • Patent number: 11815461
    Abstract: A portable apparatus for analyzing a plant specimen. A housing assembly defines a sensing volume and controls entry of ambient light into the sensing volume when the housing is closed. A specimen support positions a plant specimen within the sensing volume whereby light emitted from at least one light emitter is incident upon the plant specimen. An image sensor senses light from the at least one light emitter that has been incident on the plant specimen. A processor analyzes data obtained from the light sensor to assess one or more properties of the plant specimen. There may be more than one light emitter, e.g., a halogen lamp and LED array, and the apparatus may acquire images under more than one lighting condition. The apparatus may include a mechanism for moving the plant specimen relative to the optical path to take images at multiple regions of interest on the specimen.

  • Patent number: 8773828
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a busbar differential protection method. For each bay, firstly, zero-crossing point of voltage is determined according to sample values of voltage, then the current values are re-sampled on a current fitting curve by using zero-crossing point of voltage as a synchronous signal according to a given sampling time period to get a sample sequence. The sample sequence is comprised of current values of sampling points and sample serial numbers. The sample serial numbers of sampling points at the same time are same for the sample sequence of respective interval. Finally, computing is done to sample sequences of respective intervals, and differential protection is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20090314642
    Abstract: A method for large scale bonding carbon nanotubes on metallic electrodes is disclosed. The method includes that the wafer with a number of patterned electrodes deposited by CNTs via dielectrophoresis method is put onto the pedestal of our designed RF induction heating system. Then, the winding with alternating current induces scroll current on the surface of metallic electrodes due to skin effect. In this case, the current will generate Joule heat which could melt the surface metal of the electrodes. Finally, the CNTs will sink into the surface of the electrodes after short time heating. By varying the parameters of the RF source we can control the bonding process.
