The present invention relates to an apparatus for the disposal and melting of snow and ice, particularly collected from urban areas. The apparatus comprises a chute (101) with an upper open end (102) and a lower end (103), configured to receive snow and ice at the upper end and direct them downward. Carrying devices, such as buoyancy elements (104) or a rack attached to a quay, maintain the upper end above the surface of a body of water. A vessel (111) attached at the lower end collects solids settling from the meltwater as the snow and ice melt. The device utilizes the natural heat from seawater or another large body of water to melt the snow, reducing the need for additional energy input. It efficiently manages pollutants by allowing solids to settle and be removed, thus reducing environmental impact. Designed to be low-cost and easy to handle, the apparatus can be stowed away during off-season periods.

A network on chip comprising: a first quadrant, a second quadrant, a third quadrant, and a fourth quadrant; each quadrant comprising a first cluster and a second cluster; and wherein the first cluster of the first quadrant is directly connected to four clusters comprising: the second cluster of the first quadrant, the second cluster of the second quadrant, the first cluster of the fourth quadrant, and the second cluster of the fourth quadrant. The network on chip architecture optimizes connectivity, fault tolerance, and data transmission efficiency by ensuring each cluster is directly connected to four other clusters. This reduces latency, enhances scalability, and improves load balancing. The modular design simplifies integration and expansion, making it suitable for high-performance, reliable, and efficient multi-core systems. This architecture balances wiring complexity, latency, and power consumption, offering significant advantages over traditional topologies.

The embodiments of the present invention provide an image processing method, an image processor, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a program product, wherein the image processing method includes: obtaining a first barycentric coordinate of a first vertex relative to an initial primitive in an image frame, wherein the first vertex is a vertex of the first primitive in a clip space; converting the first barycentric coordinate to a screen space to obtain a second barycentric coordinate of a second vertex relative to the initial primitive; obtaining a third barycentric coordinate of a sample point relative to the second primitive; obtaining a fourth barycentric coordinate of the sample point relative to the initial primitive based on the second barycentric coordinate and the third barycentric coordinate; obtaining second attribute information of the sample point based on the fourth barycentric coordinates and first attribute information; and shading the sample point based on the second attribute information. The above calculation scheme for calculating the attribute value of the sample point reduces the number of linear interpolations which is beneficial to improve the calculation efficiency.

The present invention aims at providing a method and apparatus for displaying an image, a display device, and a storage medium, relating to the field of display technologies. The method for displaying an image includes: acquiring a current frame; dividing the current frame into multiple first partitions according to a first predefined manner, and dividing the current frame into multiple second partitions according to a second predefined manner, wherein the number of the second partitions is greater than or equal to that of the first partitions; determining expected backlight luminance of the current frame based on a first backlight value of each first partition and a target light diffusion coefficient of each second partition, wherein the target light diffusion coefficient characterizes degree of influence of luminance of all the first partitions located within a first predefined range of one second partition on that second partition; and performing pixel compensation on pixels of the current frame based on the expected backlight luminance, and displaying the current frame having undergone the pixel compensation. By the above method, an image display effect can be improved.

The present invention provides a multi-graphics-processing-unit-core parallel rendering method, a processing unit, and a device, wherein the method includes: obtaining all API calls for multiple frames to be rendered, and writing all API calls for each frames to be rendered into different target API call buffers in preset M×N API call buffers respectively, wherein N is a positive integer larger than 1; M is a positive integer larger than 1; M API call buffers correspond to one graphics processing unit core; and the at least two target API call buffers correspond to different target graphics processing unit cores in N graphics processing unit cores; parsing all API calls in each target API call buffer to obtain all rendering tasks corresponding to each frame to be rendered; and sending all rendering tasks corresponding to each frame to be rendered to individual target graphics processing unit cores, wherein the rendering tasks corresponding to each of the target graphics processing unit cores are all the rendering tasks obtained by parsing all API calls in the target API call buffer corresponding to the target graphics processing unit core.

The present invention relates to a storage-space allocation method and apparatus, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product, pertaining to the field of electronic technology. The storage-space allocation method includes: acquiring an allocation request from a target object, wherein the allocation request is configured to apply for an OCAB storage space; verifying whether a remaining OCAB storage space is larger than or equal to the OCAB storage space applied for by the allocation request; and allocating, if the remaining OCAB storage space is smaller than the OCAB storage space applied for by the allocation request, the target object a GMAB storage space based on the allocation request, wherein the access speed of the OCAB storage space is higher than or equal to the access speed of the GMAB storage space.

The present invention provides an input-output matching-based display method, circuit, and device and a storage medium. The input-output matching-based display method includes: acquiring an input display timing standard stream and an output display timing standard stream; determining whether the input display timing standard stream and the output display timing standard stream are matched; and adjusting, if the input display timing standard stream and the output display timing standard stream are not matched, porch of the output display timing standard stream, so as to enable time of pixel output controlled by the output display timing standard stream to be matched with time of pixel input controlled by the input display timing standard stream, where the porch includes at least one of vertical back porch, vertical back porch, horizontal front porch, and horizontal back porch. This method can improve image output and display quality.

A model of an in vivo heart valve device implanted in a patient is generated by providing a known model of a pre-implantation heart valve device, performing an imaging scan on the patient having an implanted heart valve device to obtain at least one patient specific landmark, deforming the known model to fit the at least one patient specific landmark to obtain a constructed patient-specific valve model, and simulating a valve leaflet and skirt for the constructed patient-specific valve model by finite element analysis. The constructed patient-specific valve model accurately represents geometries of the implanted heart valve device in its current in vivo form with an error less than 0.5 mm.

Portable, hand-held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame, a force sensor, and a location detector. A piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task, such as to apply a crimp to an electrical connector. The tool determines the maximum force applied to the crimp and records that maximum force along with the geographic location of the tool when the crimp was formed. The maximum force provides an indication of the quality of the crimp and the recorded location allows a potentially defective crimp to be located.
