    摘要: A solar tracker system is a system and method to integrate the solar cells to a greenhouse. The solar tracker system comprises solar tracker modules that include solar cells, racks, gears, pinons, motors, and mounting brackets to efficiently and conveniently be installed to the roofs and walls of a new greenhouse and/or an existing greenhouse for retrofit application. Additionally, the solar tracker system uses various sensors to provide real-time conditions to the greenhouse. The method uses actual or system default values to adjust the angle and position of solar cells according to various environmental factors, such as DLI, weather, date, time, direction of sunlight, or type of plant.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method for correcting the pointing errors of a biaxial rotation system based on the spherical cap function, comprising: error collection: selecting stars or radio sources distributed evenly in a star catalogue for tracking and observation to obtain the theoretical position and measurement position of the stars, and subtracting the measurement positions and the theoretical positions to obtain the error distribution; error model fitting: selecting a suitable orthogonal spherical cap function for the obtained error distribution and performing fitting to calculate an error fitting coefficient, the orthogonal spherical cap function model comprising a hemispheric harmonic function HSH, a Zernike spherical cap function ZSF, and a longitudinal spherical cap function LSF; and error control and compensation: putting the error model and the related fitting coefficient into a pointing control system for compensation. In the present method for correcting the pointing errors of a biaxial rotation system based on a spherical cap function, the model has strong stability and is not easily affected by measurement noise; there is no need to determine the form of the model on the bases of the frame form of the telescope, and the correction accuracy is high.

    摘要: A tracking device broadcasts beacon signals that are separated in time by broadcast intervals. The tracking device determines the broadcast intervals based on a behavior model. The behavior model specifies one or more conditions, such as times of day within a 24-hour day, and associates a usage probability with each condition. A higher usage probability causes the tracking device to broadcast beacon signals at shorter broadcast intervals. A mobile device in communication with the tracking device can reconfigure the behavior model, either by modifying portions of the behavior model or by replacing the behavior model with a different behavior model. This allows the behavior model to adapt to different circumstances, such as different usage patterns during weekdays, weekends, and vacations.

    摘要: A method may include orienting a set of solar power units in a first position in which rows of solar power units are shaded by adjacent rows of solar power units; and monitoring energy generated by the set of solar power units over a window of time, that includes from when the set of solar power units are oriented in the first position until a sun angle corresponds to none of the rows being shaded by the adjacent rows. The method may include identifying a knee in energy generation during the first window of time, where the knee indicates a transition from higher to lower rates of change of energy generation at a given solar angle. The method may include plotting a trajectory of future orientation positions over time of the set of solar power units that include an orientation and time corresponding to the given solar angle.

    摘要: An image-stream windowing method includes capturing, with a camera located at a fixed position and having a fixed field of view, a high-resolution image stream of an object that moves during said capturing. The high-resolution image stream includes a sequence of high-resolution frames. The method also includes determining, for each high-resolution frame of the sequence of high-resolution frames, a respective window, of a sequence of windows corresponding to the sequence of high-resolution frames, that encloses the object within said each high-resolution frame. The size and location of the respective window are determined based at least on the fixed position, the fixed field of view, and a position of the object. The method also includes generating a low-resolution image stream from the high-resolution image stream by cropping said each high-resolution frame with its respective window.
