Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to estimation of optimal markdown pricing based on customer regret. Pricing is a core aspect of any retail industry, and one of the pricing strategies used by retailers to attract customers is price reduction, wherein a seasonal product is sold at a markdown price after a predictable regular sale. The existing techniques for estimating an optimal markdown price are limited to factors such as market competition, and retailer formats and do not gain deeper understanding of customers' reactions nor explicitly utilizes inventory data. The disclosure estimates optimal markdown pricing in several steps including estimation of a set of behavioral model parameters comprising a customer regret parameter and a set of reservation price parameters, determining a markdown demand, and estimating the optimal markdown price using the markdown demand and inventory data.

Abstract: Reducing power consumption of communication interfaces by clock frequency scaling and adaptive interleaving of polling is disclosed. In a first aspect, a control system controls transmission of a command via a serial interface at a higher clock frequency. After transmission, the control system and the interface are operated at a lower clock frequency to save power during command execution. In this aspect, a reduction in polling corresponds to the reduction in clock signal frequency. When the command is complete, the interface is operated at the higher frequency to send another command. In a second aspect, after the control system sends a command to the receiving device, polling is suspended and an execution time of the command is tracked. Polling begins when the tracked execution time almost equals an expected completion time. Both aspects disclosed above may be implemented to reduce power consumption in exchange for a small increase in latency.

Abstract: Systems and methods for power conservation in a SOUNDWIRE audio bus provide a pulse density modulated (PDM) audio stream at an audio source to an encoder. The encoder has a plurality of encoding states corresponding to bit patterns. The encoder compares bits of the audio stream to available bit patterns and selects an encoding state. The audio source sends the encoding state to an audio sink and then sends data to the audio sink based on encoding using the selected encoding state. The data is sent over a non-return to zero inverted (NRZI) audio bus. As the audio stream changes bit patterns, the encoder may select different more efficient encoding states and provide updates to the audio sink of changes in the encoding state.
