In an automated leads-and-bids exchange system, bid profiles are defined to describe desires of lead buyers. Received leads are matched to active ones of the bid profiles whose specifications the leads substantially match. An auctioning subsystem finds the highest one or group of bids for each given lead. A quality rating database rates the quality of leads provided by different sellers. A price discounting engine discounts the amount paid to sellers who are rated as inferior sources of leads.

A smart traffic control device transmits information to approaching vehicles regarding its current and future state enabling vehicles to control their speed to avoid arriving at the traffic control device until it permits the passage of traffic, thus avoiding stopping, idling and reaccelerating when reaching the traffic control device. In other embodiments the traffic control device or systems receives information from vehicles, transmitting it to other vehicles.

A method of containing and reducing unwanted odors and fumes and removing those fumes from the immediate surroundings of the apparatus.

A method for controlling a particulate matter sensor heater is provided. The method includes operating the heater to burn-off soot accumulated on the sensor; and adjusting the heater level based on sensor output generated during the heater operation. In this way, improved heater control can be achieved using the sensor output already available.

A method of containing and reducing unwanted odors and fumes and removing those fumes from the immediate surroundings of the apparatus.

The invention provides an intelligent street lamp with bulbs convenient to replace and relates to the field of lighting equipment. The intelligent street lamp with the bulbs convenient to replace comprises a main lamp post and the ground. The bottom of the main lamp post is connected with the top of the ground. A covering plate is connected to the top of the main lamp post. A supporting plate is connected to the surface, located below the covering plate, of the main lamp post. Two bearing bases are arranged on the positions, located on the two sides of the main lamp post, below the supportingplate. A lampshade is connected to the bottom of each bearing base. Assistant lamp posts are connected to the bottom of the supporting plate. A cross rod is connected to the bottoms of the assistant lamp posts. The end, away from the assistant lamp posts, of the cross rod is connected with the surface of the main lamp post. According to the intelligent street lamp with the bulbs convenient to replace, a hollow-shaft motor is arranged; a gear is driven to rotate through the hollow-shaft motor; thus the bulbs are driven to move up and down and move to a lower position; replacement of the bulbs is more convenient to conduct for workers; and waste of time and energy because of use of auxiliary equipment such as a ladder and the like is avoided.

A system and method is provided for drying for fibers or fibrous materials, such as flax, hemp, jute, sisal, banana and coir, among others by dehumidifying the fibers in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. The dehumidification system does not detrimentally affect the fiber's properties (e.g., strength) by evenly drying the fibers and not subjecting the fibers to repeated high temperature environments, allowing the fibers to be used in more biocomposite applications, such as a reinforcement material. Also the dehumidification method reduces / prevents fiber discoloration, odor, and decomposition.

A method for hiding texture latency in a multi-thread virtual pipeline (MVP) processor including the steps of: allowing the MVP processor to start running a main rendering program; segmenting registers of various MVP kernel instances in the MVP processor according to the length set, acquiring a plurality of register sets with the same length, binding the register sets to chipsets of the processor at the beginning of the running of the kernel instance; allowing a shader thread to give up a processing time slot occupied by the shader thread after sending a texture detail request, and setting a Program Counter (PC) value in the case of return; and returning texture detail and allowing the shader thread to restart running.
