Identification of voltage-energized cables can potentially prevent deadly consequences such as electrocution and explosion. We find that the voltage-energized status can be identified by measuring the distribution pattern of magnetic flux density around the cable surface. The weak magnetic fields emitted from the charging current of the voltage-energized cable are measured by sensitive magnetoresistive sensors in high spatial resolution. The feasibility of this non-destructive platform was verified on a 22 kV three-phase underground power cable. The platform can improve situational awareness of serviceman dramatically.

Synthesis and application of InP/ZnS quantum dots (InP/ZnS QDs) were synthesized via non-coordinated system. The structural model of InP/ZnS QDs was completed by using composition analysis, absorption spectroscopy and emission spectroscopy. Furthermore, their applications as phosphors were investigated. The ZnS shell-growth temperature and time was controlled to obtain QDs with different sizes and the emission wavelength. Finally, a white LED was fabricated with InP/ZnS QDs.

The recovery characteristics of threshold voltage (Vth) for the hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs) stressed under the DC bias conditions are investigated. No matter what the positive or negative gate biased stresses, there are recovery phenomena existing in the Vth degradation. The larger the magnitude of the stress voltage is, the larger the amount of Vth recovery is. Owing to the lower energy level of the hole trapping center within silicon nitride film than that of an electron, the recovery amount of Vth for the a-Si:H TFTs stressed at negative gate biased stress is larger than those stressed at positive gate biased stress.

To fit the development trend of future DC micro-grids, an intelligent DC power monitoring system and sensor network is proposed in this paper for smart homes. The system is mainly composed of DC smart socket, sensors, home gateway, cloud sever and remote monitor device. According to Internet of things (IoT), all devices are connected through wireless protocols, such as Zigbee, WiFi and 3G/4G mobile communications, to maximize the flexibility and ease the installation for users. All power consumption, real-time video streaming and environment sensing can be accessed remotely via smart phones, pads or computers to ensure the most security and comfortability for user homes. Alarms will be issued for any irregular condition sensed. The detail report and statistics for home appliances are also provided to help users reschedule the appliance usage to lower the electricity bills. The proposed system is realized with free open source software to minimize the overall cost.

Lighting is closely related to our daily life; for different places, the types of the lighting designs and the energy-saving controls are very different; however, which can determine whether the lighting energy-saving control can succeed or not. The most frequently-used energy-saving methods include turning on/off lamps according to timing, turning on/off lamps by divided loops, using high-efficiency energy-saving lamps and the like; in addition to above methods, are there any other applicable energy-saving methods more energy-saving, safer and more comfortable? The paper takes a large underground parking lot as an example to propose using a dimming LED lamps to substitute for the currently used high-efficiency T5 lamps, and combines which with the sensor of the currently available vehicle searching system by system integration; the paper designs two scenarios, including the normal scenario and the car pick-up scenario; after we simulates the two scenarios, we found the energy-saving efficiency can be further increased to about 83%; therefore, the energy-saving efficiency is very obvious.

Space and cost limitations are inherent in installing magnetic core individually as the magnetic flux concentrator (MFC) of a multi-conductor current sensing system. In this study, we first examine the basic and compact MFC structure derived from the magnetic core for multi-conductor current sensing systems. Then we propose and experimentally verify the curved trapezoidal MFCs with covering the dense magnetic field area to further improve the amplification ratio. The design increases sensitivity considerably and is crucial when the sensing currents are extremely low.
