Self-clocking multiphase power supply controller
InactiveUS20020125869A1Improve noise immunityIncrease flexibilityEfficient power electronics conversionDc-dc conversionPower controllerMode control
A ripple-mode controller provides reliable operation in multi-phase power supply circuits, over a variety of operating conditions. Cross-phase blanking allows the controller to preserve the desired phase relationship between the switching pulses its provides to the different output phases, and permits the controller to operate each output phase at nearly 100% duty cycles. Active current sharing compliments blanking operations by adjusting the width of switching pulses the controller provides to one or more of the output phases based on detecting load current imbalances between the different output phases. With active current sharing, the controller prevents one or more output phases from carrying excessive portions of the load current. Further complimenting its operation, the controller may include virtual ripple generation to increase the noise immunity of its ripple-mode regulation.

Intermediate cursor touchscreen protocols
InactiveUS8786569B1Point be limitedEasy to learnInput/output processes for data processingDirect touchDisplay device
User protocols that utilize a computers touchscreen as a display sized touchpad for computer control with both an intermediate cursor and direct finger touch computer control capability. One protocol combines: cursor initiation where and when a single finger contacts appropriate touchscreen locations; accurate cursor positioning with directional and distance controlling screen contacting motions; and creating touchpad button down events with a delayed additional finger making momentary or continuing finger screen contacts while a preceding finger is still in contact. Cursor Initiation eliminates searching for the cursor, and enables a deft selection capability comparable to direct touch selection. An alternate protocol emulates current always-available cursor based computer operation. Both protocols enable: precision selection capability vs. significant direct finger contact selection limitations; probing how the image display is organized before selection; and the use of software and operating systems functionally similar to that on cursor based personal computers.
