Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for connecting multiple mobile devices to form a combined virtual screen display in an easy and intuitive manner. In one embodiment, touch data and device data from multiple devices are received, and based on the received data, a cloud server can determine whether to combine the screen displays of different devices into a single virtual screen display and generate instructions accordingly for the devices to execute.

Abstract: A method of delivering a solar system and related services from a solar system vendor to a customer is provided. The method includes estimating the customer's solar system requirements, delivering the estimated requirements to the customer, providing a sales lead that includes the estimated requirements to a contractor, the contractor contacting the customer to perform a sales close, ordering the solar system products from the solar system vendor, and issuing a payment for the products to the solar system vendor. The method of delivering solar services further includes supplying a first set of solar system components from the solar system vendor and a second set of solar system components from a third-party vendor, configuring all or a portion of the solar system components in accordance with the solar system requirements, shipping the solar system to the customer's site, and installing the system on the customer's site.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module for installation with roof tiles on a sloping roof. The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic panel; a frame surrounding the panel; and attachment structure for allowing the panel and the frame to be attached to a sloping roof in an interlocking and overlapping fashion with roof tiles while allowing adjustment of the location of the panel and the frame along the slope of the sloping roof.

Abstract: A System On Chip (SOC) has been provided which includes a crossbar switch between 64 functional I/Os internal to the chip, and 40 external connection pins. The crossbar switch permits a signal at any of the 64 functional I/Os to appear at any of the connector pins. The cross bar switch, permitting signals at the 40 connector pins to appear at any of the 64 specified functional I/Os. Because the switching is done with 4-way switches, the total number of hierarchical switch layers is reduced to 3. A parallel, opposite oriented, network of switches permits input signals delivered to the physical I/Os to be switched to any of the 64 functional I/Os. The small number of switch layers permit connections to be made with a minimum of delay across the switch. A method corresponding to the above-described crossbar switch system is also provided.

Abstract: A DSP system is provided for performing FFT computations with low latency by parallel processing of complex data points through a plurality of butterfly FFT execution units. The system simplifies the circuitry required by employing a single address generator for all of the memory units coupled to like ports on each execution unit. All RAM's connected to, for example, the A ports of a plurality of DSP's will be addressed by a single address generator. Similarly, all RAM's connected to the B ports of a plurality of DSP's will be addressed by a single address generator. Simple one-port RAM memory is suitable for use with the invention.

Abstract: A low noise CMOS buffer has been provided which includes the advantages of having a stable load impedance and a linear-ramped current waveform at the output. The buffer adds waveform shaping transistors to delay the turn on of the driver circuits, and to shape the voltage and current waveforms of the drivers. These critically placed waveform shaping transistors accomplish the function of turning off the drivers in a manner to encourage an opposite polarity linear ramp current waveform at the buffer output. A method of using waveform shaping transistors to form a stable output impedance and a linear-ramped current waveform at the output of a buffer is also provided.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for use in register-based CPUs for simultaneously processing data in a series of CPU register banks while concurrently loading and unloading data into additional register banks. The register banks then sequentially shared between arithmetic processors connected to the CPU datapath. Each register bank, after being loaded with data, is connected to a plurality of data processors in sequence and the data in each register bank is processed. The data is not moved between register banks within the datapath, except when it is loaded and unloaded from the datapath. The invention takes advantage of the shorter time required to move control signals, as compared with moving data.

Abstract: A portable electronic financial calculator and planner displays all the variables associated with the financial problem to be calculated on one screen to enable the user to more efficiently input numeric information corresponding to the various variables of the desired financial calculation. To display all the variables in common English terms, the portable financial calculator and planner has separated the financial problems into separate applications which enables this device to display variables distinct to the selected problem. This portable financial calculator and planner includes a display panel having at least eight lines of multi-digit display units. The portable electronic financial calculator and planner also has an input device which allows the operator to input numeric information into the fields corresponding to the known variables of the financial problem by allowing the user to utilize a movable cursor which is capable of moving from field to field.
