    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.

    Abstract: An analysis method for a regional image is disclosed for an image datum from a C-arm device. The analysis method includes: providing an indication module, reading the image datum, selecting a plurality of ROIs (Regions of Interest), calculating an average brightness of each of the ROIs, searching every of the steel ball image data, comparing each of the steel ball image data and analyzing each of the steel ball image data. By individually analyzing the regional image datum, the brighter or darker image signal can be excluded so that it can improve precision during searching the steel ball image data. Moreover, it is also more effective for comparing an image profile of the steel ball image datum with a real profile of the steel ball of the indication module. Thus, the steel ball image can be readily defined by its correspondence with the steel ball of the indication module.

    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.

    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.
