  • Publication number: 20240105145
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer devices are provided for adjusting a frame-listening cycle. The method includes: configuring, by a server, a fixed frame-listening cycle of an electronic shelf label according to a time period; and sending, by the server, a second frame-listening cycle modification command through a base station when the server is to issue the fast response service during the low power consumption time period, so that the electronic shelf label modifies the current frame-listening cycle to a fast frame-listening cycle according to the second frame-listening cycle modification command. According to the present disclosure, the electronic shelf label can not only respond to the fast response service in real time, but also keep the low power consumption of a long frame-listening cycle, thereby simultaneously satisfying the requirements of high real-time performance and low power consumption of the electronic shelf label.

  • Publication number: 20100056894
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to compositions, devices, systems, and methods including and/or for preparing and/or using a thermoresponsive nanocomposite hydrogel. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of preparing a hydrogel including, for example, photochemically curing an aqueous solution of NIPAAm and copoly(dimethylsiloxane/methylvinylsiloxane) colloidal nanoparticles (˜219 nm). At temperatures above a volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of ˜33-34° C., a hydrogel may deswell and become hydrophobic, while lowering the temperature below a VPTT may cause the hydrogel to swell and become hydrophilic.
