Front-Lighting system of intelligent automobile can automatically provide the shape of lighting which is needed by car in present situation. Adjust and control the shape of lighting in bend. It can take different actions and automatic adjustment to the changes of vehicle driving, according to the road condition, time interval and weather variation .and thus it can realize the control. The paper introduces the AFS system structure diagram, working principle, and working process. It plays an important role in running safety at night.

Normal practice in continuous digester operation is to set the production rate through the chip meter speed. This speed is seldom, if ever, adjusted except to change production, and most of the other digester inputs are ratioed to it. The inherent assumption is that constant chip meter speed equates to constant dry mass flow of chips. This is seldom, if ever, true. As a result, the actual production rate, effective alkali (EA)-to-wood and liquor-to-wood ratios may vary substantially from assumed values. This increases process variability and decreases profits. In this report, a new continuous digester production rate control strategy is developed that addresses this shortcoming. A new noncontacting near infrared–based chip moisture sensor is combined with the existing weightometer signal to estimate the actual dry chip mass feedrate entering the digester. The estimated feedrate is then used to implement a novel feedback control strategy that adjusts the chip meter speed to maintain the dry chip feedrate at the target value. The report details the results of applying the new measurements and control strategy to a dual vessel continuous digester.

Artificial lighting systems are used in commercial greenhouses to ensure year-round yields. Current Light Emitting Diode (LED) technologies improved the system efficiency. Nevertheless, having artificial lighting systems extended for hectares with power densities over 50W/m2 causes energy and power demand of greenhouses to be really significant. The present paper introduces an innovative supervisory and predictive control strategy to optimize the energy performance of the artificial lights of greenhouses. The controller has been implemented in a multi-span plastic greenhouse located in North Italy. The proposed control strategy has been tested on a greenhouse of 1 hectare with a lighting system with a nominal power density of 50 Wm−2 requiring an overall power supply of 1 MW for a period of 80 days. The results have been compared with the data coming from another greenhouse of 1 hectare in the same conditions implementing a state-of-the-art strategy for artificial lighting control. Results outlines that potential 19.4% cost savings are achievable. Moreover, the algorithm can be used to transform the greenhouse in a viable source of energy flexibility for grid reliability.

The statistical correlation was applied to analyze the specific and quantitative correlation relationship between the solidification structure and central segregation along the casting direction in carbon steel billet. On this basis, the segregation formation mechanism of the solute element and related control strategy were investigated. It is found that the equiaxed crystal zone fluctuation along the casting direction determines the fluctuation degree of central segregation. At the same time, the central segregation at a certain position is mostly affected by the equiaxed crystal zone width at the hysteretic position. Moreover, the casting speed can influence the columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) fluctuation along the casting direction by affecting the flow of molten steel in the billet. Overall, the segregation mechanism of solute elements along the casting direction can be summarized into two aspects: First, with the growth of columnar crystals in the initial stage, the segregated solutes are continuously enriched and distributed in the equiaxed crystal zone after CET. The fluctuation of the equiaxed crystal zone will affect the distribution of the enriched solute in the billet and cause the fluctuation of the central segregation. Second, due to the solidification shrinkage at the end of solidification, the solute-enriched liquid phase at the hysteretic position is pumped to the solidification endpoint and forms the central V-shaped segregation. Meanwhile, the stable solidification structure (columnar crystal length or equiaxed crystal zone width) along the casting direction and control measures preceded equiaxed crystal zone formation are beneficial to reduce the central V-shaped segregation.
