A wireless sensor network, a node device thereof and a method for arranging communications therein are presented. A first frequency is used in wireless communication of information between a headnode and subnodes of a first cluster (103) using a time slotted channel access scheme. A headnode of a second cluster (113) known the first frequency and selects a second, different frequency for use in wireless communication of information within said second cluster (113) using a time slotted channel access scheme. The headnode of the first cluster (103) is informed about the second frequency selected for the second cluster (113). Information from the headnode of said first cluster (103) to the headnode of said second cluster (113) is communicated on said second frequency, using the same time slotted channel access scheme as other nodes in said second cluster (113).

A data processing apparatus and method are provided for processing a received workload in order to generate result data. A thread group generator generates from the received workload a plurality of thread groups to be executed to process the received workload. Each thread group consists of a plurality of threads, and at least one thread group has an inter-thread dependency existing between the plurality of threads. Each thread may be either an active thread whose output is required to form the result data, or a dummy thread required to resolve the inter-thread dependency for one of the active threads but whose output is not required to form the result data. The thread group generator identifies for each thread group any dummy thread within that thread group. A thread execution unit then executes each thread within a thread group received from the thread group generator by executing a predetermined program comprising a plurality of program instructions. Execution flow modification circuitry is responsive to the received thread group having at least one dummy thread, to cause the thread execution unit to selectively omit at least part of the execution of at least one of the plurality of instructions when executing each dummy thread, in dependence on control information associated with the predetermined program. In one particular embodiment the received workload is a graphics rendering workload and the thread execution unit performs graphics rendering operations in order to generate as the result data pixel values and associated control values. Such an approach can yield significant improvements in performance, as well as reducing power consumption.

A method, system, and computer readable medium for managing applications on an application execution system are disclosed. On an application server the number of instances of a first application type that are in a busy state is determined. This determination is performed at each respective time interval in a plurality of time intervals. Then, a first running average for the busy state of the first application type is computed based upon the number of instances of the first application type that are in a busy state, at the application server, at each respective time interval. A removal request is sent when the first running average for the busy state meets a first removal criterion. The removal request is a request to remove the application server from a data structure that specifies which of a plurality of application servers accept service requests for the first application type.

In a method of selectively applying a data encryption function, a CoAP client and a CoAP server perform a DTLS handshake process. The CoAP client generates a CoAP message when the DTLS handshake process has been completed, and then indicates that encryption does not need to be applied to the CoAP message. The CoAP client generates only the authentication value of the CoAP message via a DTLS record layer protocol. The CoAP client sets the value of the specific field of a DTLS record layer protocol header to a specific value via the DTLS record layer protocol. The CoAP client sends the CoAP message and the authentication value to the CoAP server.

An information monitoring and updating method and system for a transport stream is provided. First, a transport stream is received. The transport stream includes a program specific information (PSI) table, and the PSI table is divided into a plurality of sections. Next, by setting a first filtering parameter of a monitor-section filter, the header of each section of the PSI table is filtered out and is then checked whether to be a latest version or not. When all the section headers of the PSI table are of the latest version, each section of the PSI table is filtered by setting a second filtering parameter of a table-section filter.

The invention relates to a harmless treatment method for expired medicines. The waste oyster shells are crushed and ground through a 0.2mm sieve, mixed with expired medicines, placed in a stainless steel tank body of a planetary ball mill, and stainless steel beads are added to the tank body. After capping, in accordance with the loading mode of the ball mill at 250r / min for 4 hours, the harmless disposal of expired drugs can be completed. The technology of the invention makes full use of the adsorption and fixation characteristics of waste oyster shell calcium carbonate, realizes the harmless treatment and disposal of expired drugs under the action of mechanical kinetic energy degradation, and has good environmental and social benefits.
