  • Patent number: 9058898
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an efficient way to read data from a memory device by aligning an internal clock of the memory interface circuit with the read data strobe signal from the memory device by delaying the internal clock along with control signals for reading the memory device before transmitting them to the memory device, wherein the internal clock of the memory controller can sample the read data from the memory device directly without using a FIFO device between the internal clock and the read data strobe so as to reduce latency of reading data from the memory device. For example, the memory device can be a double-data-rate (DDR) DRAM device, and the control signals includes command and address signals of the DDR DRAM device.

  • Patent number: 8450017
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fuel-cell-based cogeneration system with radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors. The fuel-cell-based cogeneration system with RFID sensors includes the fuel-cell-based cogeneration system and an RFID data processing system. The RFID data processing system captures data of the temperature and flow rate from the RFID sensors, while the system data are in turn converted into RFID signals. The RFID data processing system transmits a control signal generated from the RFID signal to control the operation of the fuel-cell-based cogeneration system. Since the RFID transmission technology, the sensor error caused by wires is consequently reduced. Furthermore, overall sensitivity and accuracy of the RFID sensors are increased, which leads to an accompanying increase in the stability of the operating system.

  • Publication number: 20120102990
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an adsorption type refrigerator that automatically determines the switchover point. The adsorption type refrigerator includes a first vacuum chamber, a second vacuum chamber, a third vacuum chamber and a waterway structure. The waterway structure is connected to a first adsorption bed in the first vacuum chamber and a second adsorption bed in the second vacuum chamber. The waterway structure simultaneously conveys hot water into the first adsorption bed and cold water into the second adsorption bed, or simultaneously conveys cold water into the first adsorption bed and hot water into the second adsorption bed so as to allow the first and the second adsorption beds to conduct adsorption and desorption alternatively. This alternation creates pressure variation in the three vacuum chambers, which is then utilized to automatically determine the switchover point at which the refrigerator can provide and maintain a cold, stable environment.

  • Publication number: 20120013190
    Abstract: A grid-connected power conversion circuitry and a power conversion method thereof are disclosed. A DC-DC converter converts a renewable energy into a stable and constant DC power. A DC-AC inverter inverts the DC power into an AC power. The duty cycle of the DC-DC converter is adjusted based on a feedback signal related to the DC power, thereby stabilizing the output of the DC-DC converter. The duty cycle of the DC-AC inverter is adjusted based on a feedback signal related to the AC power as well as the phase angle of grid power that is in turn detected by a phase angle processor. Consequently, the AC power can be synchronized with the grid power in frequency. Therefore, the grid system provides auxiliary power when the renewable energy is insufficient, and the AC power output by the DC-AC inverter is synchronized with the grid power in frequency.

  • Publication number: 20120006049
    Abstract: A split solid adsorption cooling system is disclosed. The split solid adsorption cooling system includes a first adsorption unit, a second adsorption unit, and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The first and the second adsorption units are connected to each other via a first pipeline and a second pipeline of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. While adsorption and desorption take place alternately in the first and the second adsorption units, the temperature of the first and the second pipelines is lowered, thereby decreasing the temperature of water flowing in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. In addition, the manufacturing costs of the split solid adsorption cooling system can be lowered because the shell-and-tube heat exchanger need not be operated in a vacuum environment. Furthermore, as the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is separate from the first and the second adsorption units, the overall system volume is reduced.
