An ultrasonic flow meter is provided. The flow meter includes a detector that transmits a signal to a fluid and receives a signal from the fluid, a memory configured to store instructions, and a processor electrically connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor calculates a first flow-rate value of the fluid using a signal transmitted to the fluid and a signal transmitted from the fluid, determines whether the first flow-rate value is missing, calculates a second flow-rate value of the fluid using a physical quantity of the fluid if the first flow-rate value is missing, and replaces the missing value with the second flow value, and the physical quantity is measured by an auxiliary sensor located installed on a pipe through which the fluid flows.

An uninterruptible power supply apparatus and method. The uninterruptible power supply apparatus includes a first generator, an energy storage, a first power converter connected to the energy storage, a second power converter connected to the energy storage, a first switch connected to the first power converter and a first load, a second switch connected to the second power converter, the first generator and a second load, and a third switch connected to a power grid, the first generator, the second power converter, the first switch and the second switch. In a normal state in which the first switch and the third switch are connected, the power grid supplies power to the first load or the second load. In an independent operating state in which the third switch is turned off, the first generator or the energy storage uninterruptibly supplies power to the first load or the second load.

Uninterruptible power supply apparatus and method

A method and apparatus for time synchronization between a plurality of nodes in a network. The apparatus distinguishes between an optical synchronization signal for synchronization between nodes and an optical data signal for data transmission, and synchronizes nodes with each other using the optical synchronization signal.

Method and apparatus for time synchronization between nodes

This apparatus of bidirectional optical recirculation loop transmission enables bidirectional transmission system to be tested in the long transmission distance. Unidirectional optical recirculation loop is composed of two optical modulators and one 4-port optical coupler. Bidirectional optical recirculation loop is composed of four optical switches, one 4-port optical coupler and six optical circulators. Two optical circulators at the entrance (simultaneously exit) of the loop enable transmitted (received) signals to be added (dropped). Four optical circulators enable forward (reverse) signal to bypass the optical switch set for reverse (forward) signal in the inner optical loop. Forward (reverse) signal can be transmitted simultaneously with the reverse (forward) signal without interference. Two independent optical recirculation loops exist on the same fiber link in each direction.
