摘要： An electrochemical device (such as a battery) includes at least one electrode having a fluid surface, which may employ a surface energy effect to maintain a position of the fluid surface and/or to modulate flow within the fluid. Fluid-directing structures may also modulate flow or retain fluid in a predetermined pattern. An electrolyte within the device may also include an ion-transport fluid, for example infiltrated into a porous solid support.

摘要： Embodiments include a device and a method. In an embodiment, a method applies a first resource management strategy to a first resource associated with a first processor and executes an instruction block in a first processor. The method also applies a second resource management strategy to a second resource of a similar type as the first resource and executes the instruction block in a second processor. The method further selects a resource management strategy likely to provide a substantially optimum execution of the instruction group from the first resource management strategy and the second resource management strategy.

摘要： Processor resource management devices and methods are disclosed. In some implementations, a device includes a processor, a hardware resource, and a resource manager operable to compare a first execution of one or more instructions pursuant to an optimistic resource management policy and a second execution of one or more instructions pursuant to a pessimistic resource management policy, the optimistic resource management policy assuming that less than an optimistic level of at least one error will occur during the first execution, and the pessimistic resource management policy assuming that greater than a pessimistic level of the at least one error will occur during the second execution. Based at least partially on the comparison, the resource manager selects a resource management policy from between the optimistic and pessimistic resource management policies, and associates the selected resource management policy with the one or more instructions.
