Abstract: One aspect provides a method and system for saturation of multiple I/O slots by multiple testing ports and verification of link health in between. During operation, the system detects a testing card with a plurality of test ports which are coupled to a plurality of input/output (I/O) slots of a computing device. The system communicates with the plurality of test ports via the plurality of I/O slots. The system generates, by the computing device, a script for each test port, wherein the script comprises a series of read and write operations to be executed by the testing card on a memory device associated with the computing device. The system allows the plurality of test ports to execute the script and perform the corresponding read operations and write operations, thereby facilitating testing of the I/O slots of the computing device in parallel by the test ports of the single testing card.

Abstract: A method of reducing gray energy consumption and achieving optimal gray energy saving for carbon neutralization is proposed. In a cellular network, each cell or BS (group of cells) has renewable (green) and non-renewable (gray, on-grid power) energy sources. The renewable (green) energy is highly variable and unpredictable, while non-renewable (gray, on-grid power) is stable but is not renewable and thus has more carbon impact. Each cell or BS (group of cells) services is associated UEs when it is on. In one novel aspect, a cell or BS (group of cells) that consumes more non-renewable energy can give some or all of its served UEs to another cell or BS (group of cells) that consumes less non-renewable energy.

Abstract: Solutions pertaining to spectrum sharing between a terrestrial network (TN) and a non-terrestrial network (NTN) with interference control are proposed. An apparatus implemented in a UE communicates with a non-terrestrial (NT) network node of the NTN by resource sharing with the TN. There is a requirement on either or both of a directive gain and a directive emission power with respect to a network node of the TN such that interference between TN downlink (DL) transmissions and NTN uplink (UL) transmissions is less than a threshold.

Abstract: A chaise lounge includes a frame, a first sling anchor, a second sling anchor, a sling and a threaded fastener. The frame includes at least two side members. The first sling anchor connects with a first side member and is movable with respect to the frame. The second sling anchor connects with a second side member. The second side member is disposed on an opposite side of the frame from the first side member. The sling is secured to the first sling anchor and the second sling anchor and spans between the first side member and the second side member. The sling defines a support surface on which an associated occupant may selectively reside. The threaded fastener engages the first sling anchor and the first side member. Rotation of the threaded fastener with respect to at least one of the first sling anchor and the first side member results in movement of the first sling anchor with respect to the first side member, which results in movement of the sling with respect to the first side member.
