Abstract: Proposed is an information processing method executed by a client terminal connected to a server through a communication network. The information processing method may include determining a load profile based on a recovery response for each of one or more plurality of photovoltaic cells included in a solar power generator. The method may also include generating a power profile of the solar power generator based on the load profile, and transmitting location information of the solar power generator and the power profile to the server. The method may further include receiving a reward based on a result of a verification for the power profile, the verification being performed by the server using the location information and meteorological observation data when the server receives the power profile.

Abstract: A visualizer receives a compiled program to be run on a tensor streaming processor, which indicates a predetermined timing at which each functional unit of the processor receives instructions for processing data, and generates a visualization model used to display a schedule comprising elements corresponding to instructions received by each functional unit of a data path of the processor, arranged based upon a time at which each instruction is executed by its respective functional unit in accordance with the generated model. Due to the deterministic nature of the tensor streaming processor, the visualizer infers the flow of data across communication lanes of the processor, and to predicts the location of data within the processor for a given cycle during execution of the compiled program, without the need to actually execute the compiled program or to implement breakpoints within the program at specific cycles.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for synchronizing output clock signals across a plurality of phase-locked loops (PLLs). The apparatus coupled within each PLL comprises: a local counter configured to provide a count when receiving a reference clock signal; a comparator configured to compare the count from the local counter with a predetermined or preconfigured value; wherein a multiplexor connected to the local counter and counters of adjacent PLLs, configured to select the count from the local counter or a count from the counters of the adjacent PLLs; wherein the selected count from the multiplexor is incremented and directed to the local counter; wherein an output clock divider enable is asserted to the PLL to start an output clock divider to generate the output clock signal when the count from the local counter reaches the predetermined or preconfigured value.

Abstract: A stent delivery system for dynamic deployment of a stent loaded thereon and a method of manufacturing the system. The stent delivery system includes a balloon catheter with a balloon in a spirally twisted delivery configuration on which a stent is crimped or otherwise loaded. The stent is made from a single, continuous strand of wire formed into a sinusoidal waveform that is wrapped into a helical pattern and joined at selected crowns. Upon inflation of the spirally twisted balloon of the stent delivery system, the stent undergoes dynamic deployment such that the stent in a deployed or expanded configuration has crowns with obtuse deployment angles and crowns with acute deployment angles.

Abstract: A baseball fielding glove capable of receiving a human hand is provided. The glove comprises an exterior glove shell and an interior glove liner. The glove comprises a strut in place of traditional webbing. Further, the glove's exterior shell corresponding to the palm of a wearer comprises a plurality of perforations for enhancing ventilation. The fielding glove disclosed is readily adjustable eliminating the need for a breaking-in process. A tensioning cord extending between the strut and finger/thumb stalls of the glove provide an enhanced degree of adjustable characteristics to the glove.
