[A form of compensation agreement that] allows a small power producer - such as a residence or farm with a micro-hydropower, wind turbine or photovoltaic system - to connect to the power grid to offset the purchase of electrical energy from the utility with the surplus energy generated by the on-site generating facility. 1, record 4, English, - net%2Dmetering

Net-metering does away with the need to install costly backup generators or batteries to supplement a small renewable system. A single meter measures the electricity purchased from the utility and turns backward when the small power producer feeds electricity into the grid. The net-meter measurement determines the amount of electricity charged to the user. 1, record 4, English, - net%2Dmetering

The micro-WIS (Micro Wireless Instrumentation System) consists of tiny autonomous sensors for data acquisition ... This HTD [Head-of-Train Telemetry Device] is designed to demonstrate the micro-WIS transmitter and recorder. One of the objectives of this HTD is to obtain meaningful real-time measurements for use in the orbiter's Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) operations. The micro-WIS transmitter's simultaneous real-time measurements of air cabin temperatures in many interior compartments of the orbiter will help ECLSS operations personnel address issues encountered on STS-88 and early International Space Station flights. Currently, only one temperature reading in the aft flight deck of the orbiter is available for adjusting model predictions for real-time environments. Micro-WIS will also reduce the time it takes the crew to obtain on-orbit temperature measurements and will increase the capability to monitor temperatures over long periods. ... Micro-WIS data will also be used to validate cabin air temperature models that are used to make critical predictions of the dew point on early ISS [International Space Station] missions, which is important because orbiter cabin air exerts a significant influence on the entire station volume. Although the physical configuration of the air ducts in the orbiter cabin has been changed significantly, the sensors have remained the same and some temperature data has never been available. 3, record 5, English, - micro%2Dwireless%20instrumentation%20system

Production d’hydrogène dans un microsystème : Le but de ce projet consiste à développer un réacteur microstructuré autotherme pour la production d’hydrogène par steam reforming [vaporeformage] du méthanol. La production embarquée d’hydrogène-pour l'alimentation d’une pile à combustible, par exemple-requiert des conditions bien particulières qui ne peuvent être remplies avec des réacteurs traditionnels : temps de réponse court, distribution de temps de séjour étroite, capacité d’échange thermique importante pour permettre le couplage avec une réaction exothermique. Les réacteurs microstructurés permettent de passer outre ces limitations. [...] C'est pourquoi l'emploi de réacteurs microstructurés a été proposé pour fournir «nerveusement» de l'hydrogène à des applications mobiles. Ce dernier est produit dans les 2 500 microcanaux [...] composant le réacteur. Dans d’autres canaux, la chaleur nécessaire à la réaction principale de production de l'hydrogène est fournie par l'oxydation totale du méthanol. 2, record 6, French, - transformation%20du%20combustible%20dans%20un%20r%C3%A9acteur%20microstructur%C3%A9
