TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out the current problems restricting the teaching method in the four aspects: teaching mode in class, teacher training, teaching materials and English proficiency of students and proposed some constructive and available approaches after they presented and analyzed each of these problems.
Abstract: Bilingual education in universities and colleges is viewed as an effective and feasible measure to develop talented graduates more competent in the international market.Considering the present situation of bilingual teaching in Modern Control Theory,we pointed out the current problems restricting the teaching method in the four aspects: teaching mode in class,teacher training,teaching materials and English proficiency of students.To improve the efficiency of bilingual teaching in Modern Control Theory,we proposed some constructive and available approaches after we presented and analyzed each of these problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved various meters recognition algorithm was proposed which was adapted to suit the equipment inspection robot works outdoor in the smart substation, where the template images were made for each style of meter and the "min" and "max" values were illustrated for each template image.
Abstract: An improved various meters recognition algorithm was proposed which was adapted to suit the equipment inspection robot works outdoor in the smart substation.First,the template images were made for each style of meter and the "min" and "max" values were illustrated for each template image.SIFT method was utilized to match with the template image for detecting the meter device region from the real-time image captured by the robot.And then,a fast Hough transform method was proposed to detect the line in the preprocessed image as the pointer of the meter.Comparing the angle with the "min" or "max" value the result of the meter can be recognized.This algorithm has been applied in one 500 kV smart substation in China.Various instruments recognition rate of over 99.2%,with high precision and high robustness of the meter readings.Experimental results of various meters have shown good performance,which proves that the proposed method was both effective and accurate.

TL;DR: A smart home system based on the Internet of Things was discussed to overcome the shortcomings of those traditional smart home systems in which embedded home gateways act as the center.
Abstract: A smart home system based on the Internet of Things was discussed to overcome the shortcomings of those traditional smart home systems in which embedded home gateways act as the center.The Zigbee wireless sensor network was used to collect the information of indoor environment,equipment and personnel location,and the gateways for Internet of Things were responsible for transmitting these information to the computer servers on the Internet,thus the users can log on the servers through Browsers or client software to monitor all subsystems of the smart home.It was illustrated that such a system composed of household devices,gateways for Internet of Things,servers and client computers was stable and reliable.Compared with other systems,this system can not only achieve massive data storage,more beautiful interface and more convenient operation,but also can share information with other computer systems on the Internet.
