Abstract: A photovoltaic system is formed as a window that is constructed of at least one polymer layer that is filled or decorated with metal nanoparticles and a window frame that includes one or more photovoltaic cells. The metal nanoparticles have a shape and size such that they display surface plasmon resonance frequencies in the near-infrared and/or the near-ultraviolet. The near-infrared and/or the near-ultraviolet radiations are scattered such that they are transmitted parallel to the face of the window to the photovoltaic cells, where an electrical current is generated.

Abstract: This invention is related to a cross-client-server software compiler for defining a client server programming paradigm which removes boundary between client side programming and server side programming. By adopting the said programming paradigm a programmer does not explicitly distinguish client side programming and server side programming, and does not explicitly implement client server interactions. From human programming the said compiler identifies client side operations and server side operations, identifies client server communication requirements, identifies data upload and download requirements, identifies server states maintenance requirements, generates client code and server code, generates client server communications code for client server interactions to fulfill human programming.

Abstract: In several embodiments of the invention, a programmable architecture for FIR filters includes a tapped delay chain and a number of different slices. Each slice has a multiplexer that receives all of the tapped input-signal samples and a programmable current driver. Each slice can be independently programmed to correspond to any one of the taps in the delay chain, such that zero, one, or more slices can be associated with any of the delay-chain taps. Moreover, the current driver in each slice can be independently programmed to contribute any available driver strength level for the selected tap, where the combination of one or more drive strengths associated with a given tap corresponds to the effective tap coefficient for that tap. In this way, the architecture can be programmed to provide a variety of different filters having not just transfer functions with different coefficient values, but also transfer functions having different numbers of pre-cursor and/or post-cursor taps.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying demand at, for example, merchants and ATMs located within selected geographic boundaries, and over a selected time frame. Transaction data for transactions conducted over the selected time frame is received at a computing device, and location data is associated with each of the transactions. The location data generally corresponds to a location at which each of the transactions occurred. The transactions are then grouped into geographic boundaries based on the location data. For each of the geographic boundaries, the transaction data is compared to a predefined benchmark. And, for each of the geographic boundaries satisfying the benchmark, demand indices are generated indicative of financial demand in the geographic boundary.
