    Abstract: A contact switch, contact switch system, and interactive building block system carrying the contact switch based on UHF RFID technology for detecting mutual contact events are provided. The contact switch system includes a plurality of contact switches each including a chip and an antenna not connected to the chip. When the contact switch is in contact with another contact switch, the chip is connected to another antenna of the another contact switch and the antenna is connected to another chip of the another contact switch. The chip receives and converts a radio wave from the another antenna into power, and the power converts identifying information of the chip into a radio wave, which is sent to a reader. When the reader reads two encoded identifying information at the same time, whether the two contact switches are in contact with each other is determined by the contact switch system.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of CPUs, a CPU scheduler, an idle predictor, and a CPU-idle framework. The CPUs are categorized into a first group and a second group, and a specific CPU is in the first group. When the specific CPU is idle, the CPU scheduler executes an idle task. The idle predictor determines whether the CPUs in the first group corresponding to the specific CPU are going to operate the sleep mode in response to the idle task so as to schedule a sleep schedule of the CPUs in the first group operating in the sleep mode. The CPU-idle framework commands the CPUs in the first group to operate in the sleep mode based on the sleep schedule.
