  • Publication number: 20240117780
    Abstract: A combustion system may include a piston, a fuel injector, and a cylinder. At a main fuel injection stage, the fuel injector injects a main fuel into the cylinder in sequence to drive the piston to work. A method for controlling the combustion system includes controlling the fuel injector to execute a first-stage main fuel injection in a compression stroke, the first-stage main fuel injection includes at least one injection, and continues till a power stroke such that the cylinder pressure in the cylinder reaches a target pressure peak value; and before the cylinder pressure in the cylinder reaches a descending critical point, executing a second-stage main fuel injection, the second-stage main fuel injection includes at least one injection, and the fuel injected in the second-stage main fuel injection and the fuel injected in the first-stage main fuel injection are superimposed.

  • Patent number: 10190100
    Abstract: A modified glucose oxidase for use in a sensor for the continuous or semi-continuous monitoring of glucose is disclosed. The modified glucose oxidase may include a glucose oxidase having at least one amino group substituted with a methacrylate through a hydrophilic linker including at least one alkylene oxide unit. A glucose sensor is also disclosed. The glucose sensor includes a crosslinked, hydrophilic copolymer sensing layer in contact with a surface of an electrode, where the sensing layer includes methacrylate-derived backbone chains covalently bound to glucose oxidase through a hydrophilic linker including at least one alkylene oxide unit. Also included is a method for making the modified glucose oxidase and the glucose sensor.

  • Patent number: 9450411
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for suppressing low frequency oscillation in a power system. The method includes determining a system transfer function of an interconnected power system section in which a variable frequency transformer (VFT) is located; determining a damping controller parameters according to the system transfer function; and suppressing low frequency oscillation of the power system by means of the VFT based on the damping controller parameter. The objects of the method, apparatus and system are definite: optimizing the damping controller parameter can be achieved by simply tracking and analyzing the response of the system to disturbance, without the need to understand the configuration and parameters of the system or solve complicated power system equations, which has a better effect in suppressing low frequency oscillation in the power system and is advantageous for improving the safety and stability level of the power grid.
