In some embodiments, techniques for creating a design for a physical device are provided. A computing system receives an initial design of the physical device. Performance of the physical device is simulated using the initial design. A performance loss value is determined for the physical device based on the simulated performance at a target wavelength and one or more delta wavelengths. The performance loss value is backpropagated to determine a gradient corresponding to an influence of changes in the initial design on the total performance loss value. The initial design of the physical device is revised based at least in part on the gradient.

An information processing method includes: selecting M blocks as M selected blocks from among N blocks for driving at least one of an actuator or a heater included in an apparatus, in accordance with an input operation performed by an operator; generating an application, by setting the order of the M selected blocks in accordance with an input operation performed by the operator; consulting a rule that prohibits two or more given blocks from being executed in a given order, and when information included in the application that indicates the order of the M selected blocks correlates with the given order, modifying the application by changing the order in which each of the M selected blocks is executed; and outputting the modified application.

Apparatuses and methods for using direct solar radiation. The apparatus may include a housing defining a window configured to transmit solar radiation and a secondary radiation source for transmitting a second radiation in response to the solar radiation via a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon and configured to be executed by a processor to measure the solar radiation and actuate the secondary radiation source.

A sensor is attached to a cooling and warming box accommodating a cooling agent. A server device manages a transportation company that requests transportation of the cooling and warming box. The server device wirelessly receives box information indicating a detection result from the sensor. The server device receives replacement information of the cooling and warming agent accommodated in the cooling and warming box from a freezing center. The server device sends the box information and the replacement information received wirelessly to the managed transportation company.

A sensor-equipped RF tag is attached to a cooling box accommodating a cooling agent, and detects a temperature inside the cooling box, and a temperature and a position of the cooling agent. The sensor-equipped RF tag sends the detected temperature inside the cooling box, and the temperature and the position of the cooling agent to a server directly or via a taximeter. The server orders the cooling agent from a center terminal installed in a freezing center around a position of a taxi vehicle based on a detection result of the sensor-equipped RF tag.

Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. “Internet-of-Things” (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes (“pool logic”) which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.

An electronic apparatus according to various embodiments comprises: at least one processor; and a memory storing a first table and a second table which are associated with a value associated with a performance of an operation of the at least one processor and a maximum allowable value of a clock, wherein a maximum allowable value in the first table corresponding to at least some of values associated with the performance of the operation of the at least one processor is different from a maximum allowable value in the second table corresponding to the at least some of the values associated with the performance, wherein the at least one processor may verify that an attribute of an application being executed by the at least one processor is any one of a first attribute or a second attribute, control the maximum allowable value of the clock where the at least one processor operates on the basis of the first table when the attribute of the application is the first attribute, and control the maximum allowable value of the clock where the at least one processor operates on the basis of the second table when the attribute of the application is the second attribute. Other various embodiments can be provided.

Embodiments relate to a system comprising a device for temperature recording; an integrated communication module; a memory; a processor coupled with the memory. The processor is configured to: receive data from the device, analyze the data through an analytics module; predict an anomaly in the data through the analytics module; generate an alert for ensuring quality of food and safety of the food; and predict a failure in the device.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for reducing the temperature of a peripheral device to a computing device. A controller can generate a control signal to operate a cooling subsystem to generate an air flow and distribute the air flow over the peripheral device. The controller can receive an indication signal from the peripheral device, generate the control signal based on the received indication signal, and control the cooling subsystem by the control signal to distribute the air flow to a cooling space including the peripheral device and a portion of the computing device including the communication interface. The computing device can further include a sensor configured to sense a temperature within the cooling space, where the controller can be configured to generate the control signal based on the temperature sensed by the sensor.

A system performs adaptive thermal ceiling control at runtime. The system includes computing circuits and a thermal management module. When detecting a runtime condition change that affects power consumption in the system, the thermal management module determines an adjustment to the thermal ceiling of a computing circuit, and increases the thermal ceiling of the computing circuit according to the adjustment.
