Abstract: The present application pertains to an electric arc grill that integrates a range of components for enhanced functionality. Central to this grill is the electric heating device, which includes an electric heating component and a circuit board integrated with electric components. The electric heating component includes an electric output head and an electric connection rod that is securely attached to and electrically connected with the head, ensuring a stable connection to the circuit board. The grill is equipped with a lifting device that is affixed to and grounded by the grill carrier, facilitating the electrical connection with the fire gathering plate. This plate is positioned above the electric output head, creating a gap that is instrumental in generating the electric arc necessary for heating. The grill enables the fire gathering plate to be heated via electric arc, thereby providing a versatile cooking surface capable of frying, grilling, and baking.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for arranging electrical components within a semiconductor device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The method includes (a) providing a first layout including a plurality of cells placed therein; (b) generating a second layout by performing a first set of calculations on the first layout such that cell congestions in the first layout is eliminated from the second layout; (c) generating a third layout by performing a second set of calculations on the second layout such that the total wire length of the third layout is less than that of the second layout; and (d) iterating the operations (b) and (c) until a target layout conforming a convergence criterion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rice grain with thickened aleurone. Also provided is a rice plant comprising at least one genetic variation which reduces the activity of at least one ROS1a gene in the plant. Grain of the invention, or aleurone therefrom, has improved nutritional properties, and hence is particularly useful for human and animal feed products.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts. An enforcement server may receive indications of transactions and/or events generated by one or more autonomous vehicles. The transactions and/or events may include information relating to a trigger condition and/or a decision condition associated with one or more smart contracts. The enforcement server may route the transaction to the appropriate smart contract to determine whether a trigger condition has been satisfied. When a trigger condition is satisfied, the enforcement server may automatically perform an action to enforce the smart contract and/or update the distributed ledger.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts are provided. One or more processors may monitor one or more sensors associated with an autonomous vehicle. Based upon the outputs of the sensors, a change in condition of the autonomous vehicle may be detected. The condition may relate to operation, or an operational state of the vehicle and/or a condition associated with a smart contract. The processors may generate a transaction describing the detected change in the condition of the vehicle. The transaction may be transmitted to an enforcement server. As a result, an up-to-date ledger of autonomous vehicle and/or smart contract transactions and/or events may be maintained.

Abstract: Methods and systems for building, utilizing, and/or maintaining an autonomous vehicle-related event distributed ledger or blockchain are provided. One or more processors may receive indications of autonomous vehicle events. The autonomous vehicle events may include information relating to technology usage and/or operational events. The autonomous vehicle events may be compiled into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle events. Based upon the autonomous vehicle events, an action to implement bay be determined. Additionally, the log may be distributed to a public or private network of distributed nodes. As a result, the distributed nodes may maintain an up-to-date record of the shared ledger of autonomous vehicle events.
