Abstract: An apparatus for estimating a fair value of a SPP includes a sunshine simulation system for generating a peak sun hour; a photovoltaic (PV) yield system for measuring a total power loss rate and generating an estimated energy-production-hours database; and a financial pricing system for generating a series of cash flows and discount factors. The financial pricing system computes a series of present values which are the product of the cash flows and the discount factors, and sums up all the present values to obtain an estimated value of the SPP. Since the apparatus for estimating SPP value takes the real power generation condition of the SPP and the real market economic condition into consideration, so that the apparatus can generate a pricing result even closer to the real market.

Abstract: An image processing method includes: analyzing, by a white balance gain estimation circuit, a plurality of exposure frames with different exposures to generate a plurality of sets of white balance gain settings; combining the plurality of sets of white balance gain settings to generate a white balance gain table; applying the white balance gain table to the plurality of exposure frames to generate a plurality of white balance compensated frames; and generating a high dynamic range (HDR) frame by performing pixel fusion according to pixel data derived from the plurality of white balance compensated frames.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses for fan type identification are disclosed. A predetermined pulse width modulation duty cycle is used to obtain a sequence of fan speeds from a fan over a time period. A fan type of the fan is determined based on the sequence of fan speeds.

Abstract: A color image enhancement apparatus has a color attribute interpreter and a color attribute adjuster. The color attribute interpreter generates an adjust signal according to a Hue, a Saturation and a Brightness of a pixel data. Of the adjust signal, each adjustment for each of the Hue, the Saturation and the Brightness is determined by all of the Hue, the Saturation and the Brightness of the pixel data. The color attribute adjuster is connected to the color attribute interpreter. The color attribute adjuster receives the adjust signal and adjusts the transformed color attribute according to the adjust signal.

Abstract: Several display regions are defined on a display panel, and each display region has its panel characteristic data. A pixel data is received and the determined display region of the pixel data is determined. The pixel data is calibrated according to the panel characteristic data of the determined display region, and then the calibrated pixel data is transmitted to the display panel.
