A method for determining a market clearing price (“MCP”) in an electricity market, in which an objective function relates the MCP and constraints in terms of a nonlinear programming expression, and the MCP is found by resolving an augmented Lagrangian dual function using a surrogate optimization framework. A system is also provided.

The present invention relates to novel dihydronaphthalene compounds, compositions, methods for using the same, and processes for preparing the same. The present invention also relates to novel total synthesis approaches for preparing these compounds. In addition, the present invention relates to methods of producing quantities of isomers of these compounds and separating and purifying them using chiral separation techniques. The present invention also relates to methods of producing quantities of a single isometric compound without the need for chiral separation techniques.

A water temperature cycling device for supplying intermittently hot and cold water for therapeutic benefits which has a cylindrical body (20) internally ported allowing water to drive a turbine (38) supplying rotational force to a rotor (48) through a speed reducing gear train (46). The speed of the cyclic action of the hot and cold water is governed by flow from a control valve (64) bypassing some of the flow from the turbine. The periodic repetitive changing from hot to cold is accomplished by a recessed portion (50) within the rotor (48). Each time the rotor makes a full rotation, the temperature changes completely as half of the circumference of the rotor is recessed. In another embodiment, the recessed portion is in a helical Archimedes curve shape allowing a more gentle effect. The device maintains a constant flow of combined hot and cold water regardless of the temperature change.

A variable anamorphic lens system adaptable for use on an image recording instrument such as a camera (10). The system consists of an image transformation lens (14), a focusing lens (18) and an aperture stop (22). The transformation lens (14) and focusing lens (18) function together to form an image, on the camera's image plane (26), of a remote object at or near an object plane (30) as determined by the field of view. By manipulating the image transformation lens (14), the image of the remote object, or an insolated portion of the object, can be modified or transformed so that an altered image is formed on the image plane (26) of the camera (10).

An example method for encoding or decoding video data includes storing, by a video coder and in a reference picture buffer, a version of a current picture of the video data, including the current picture in a reference picture list (RPL) used to predict the current picture, and coding, by the video coder and based on the RPL, a block of video data in the current picture based on a predictor block of video data included in the version of the current picture stored in the reference picture buffer.
