The smart water meter based on cloud computing is a new instrument that uses modern sensor technology, communication technology and microelectronics to measure volume, transfer data settle transactions. traditional only has the function of flow collection pointer mechanical display consumption. Compared with meter, great progress. With development wireless transmission mobile network, remote be...

Abstract Residential water heating is among the most energy-intensive aspects of sector; however, residential hot use often poorly quantified. Estimating consumption from smart electricity meter data can help advance body knowledge regarding energy-water nexus by employing to fill this gap, potentially promoting community resilience through energy and resources efficiency. Using a non-intrusive...

Using a low power beam of ultrashort THz pulses that propagate in the ambient laboratory environment we have measured the rotational signatures of small molecule vapors at frequencies within the atmospheric transmission windows. We investigate two types of apparatus. In the first type the THz beam propagates along a 6.7 meter round trip path that is external to the spectrometer, and which conta...

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is the remote collection of consumption data from customer’s utility meters over telecommunications, radio, power line and other links. AMR provides water, electric and gas utility service companies the opportunity to streamline metering, billing and collection activities, increase operational efficiency and improve customer service. The AMR system consists of thre...

The saturating photon flux density (400 to 700 nanometers) for induction of flowering of the long day plant Anagallis arvensis L. was 1,900 micromoles per square meter per second (6,000 foot-candles) when an 8-hour daylength was extended to 24 hours by a single period of supplementary irradiation. The saturating photon flux density for photosynthetic CO(2) uptake during the same single suppleme...
