Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for topography simulation of a physical structure under a topography-changing process. The method includes initializing a voxel mesh as a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a physical structure by a central processing unit (CPU), generating a batch of particles, simulating a flight path of one of the particles with a ray-tracing method by a parallel processing thread in a graphics processing unit (GPU), identifying a surface normal of a voxel unit in the voxel mesh that intersects the flight path by the parallel processing thread in the GPU, passing parameters describing the one of the particles hitting the voxel mesh from the GPU to the CPU, determining a surface reaction between the one of the particles and the voxel unit by the CPU, and updating the voxel mesh based on the determining of the surface reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implementation method for graphic-blockchain-orientated hybrid consensus, at least comprising: calling at least one module to generate a new data block and broadcast it; calling at least one module to check and validate the received new block based on predetermined rules; calling at least one module to generate a void block; and calling at least one module to update a committee member list. The existing graphic blockchain can only achieve probabilistic consensus, yet the present invention achieves deterministic consensus on graphic blockchain for the first time, thereby reaching consensus faster. The present invention decouples generation and consensus of blocks for the first time, so that the two parts can be designed separately in a modularized manner. The present invention provides the first totally decentralized hybrid consensus algorithm in the graphic blockchain. This is unachievable to many existing graphic blockchain such as IOTA and Obyte.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for wireless in-ear-monitoring (IEM) of audio. A system includes transmitter(s) configured to map orthogonal sub-carriers of a digital signal to narrowband receivers to form receiver-allocated audio channels, modulate the digital signal, and transmit the signal as an ultra-high frequency (UHF) analog carrier wave comprising the orthogonal sub-carriers to the nearby receiver.
