Abstract:
A system and method for controlling an over current protection trip point for a voltage regulator includes an input for receiving a monitored operating parameter of the voltage regulator. Control logic responsive to this input generates a digital current control signal. A digital to analog controller converts the digital current control signal to an analog current control signal and this analog current control signal is used for controlling a current source for generating a current that establishes the over current protection trip point of the voltage regulator.
Abstract:
A synchronous regulator includes a controller coupled to receive a reference signal and a feedback signal from the regulator operable to provide a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal at its output. The regulator includes at least one gate driver coupled to receive the PWM signal, and a synchronous output switch having a phase node there between controlled by the gate driver, and regulator input current measurement circuitry. The regulator input current measurement circuitry comprises a circuit operable for providing a signal representative of at least one phase node timing parameter, a sensing circuit operable for sensing inductor or output current provided by the regulator, and a calculation circuit coupled to receive the signal representative of the phase node timing parameters and the inductor or output current and is operable to determine the input current.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium can store code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to receive a value representing a congestion level of a receive queue and a value representing a state of a transmit queue. At least a portion of the transmit queue can be defined by a plurality of packets addressed to the receive queue. A rate value for the transmit queue can be defined based on the value representing the congestion level of the receive queue and the value representing the state of the transmit queue. The processor-readable medium can store code representing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to define a suspension time value for the transmit queue based on the value representing the congestion level of the receive queue and the value representing the state of the transmit queue.
Abstract:
A computer system and computer program product are provided that enable a supervisor to input performance evaluations for members of the supervisor's group. The supervisor is presented with an electronic evaluation form that includes evaluation items that are answered by the supervisor selecting one of a plurality of options. The evaluation form evaluates parameter, sub-parameters, skill types and skill levels as established during maintenance. Each evaluation item is categorized by at least a parameter, sub-parameter, skill type, or skill level. Answers to the evaluation items inputted by the supervisor for each of the members of the group are used to produce a graphical evaluation result based on the answers inputted by the supervisor. Consolidation of several evaluations, from the same supervisor or from several, can also be done.
Abstract:
A method and system for incorporation into an active operating system of a utility function performed by a utility provided by an external operating system. The functional instructions within the utility which perform the utility function, called a utility engine, are separated from user interface instructions which interface with the user in a fashion unique to the external operating system. The utility engine is stored in a data structure that can be loaded for execution by the active operating system as well as the external operating system. When the active operating system is running and obtains a request to perform the utility, it performs user interface instructions specific to the active operating system, and loads and executes the functional instructions in the utility engine to thereby execute the utility function.
Abstract:
A communication device may include a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) calculator. The CRC calculator may determine a packet remainder of a packet based on a data path width associated with the communication device; append zeros to the packet remainder to generate an appended packet remainder equal in size to the data path width; compute a first CRC value for the appended packet; reverse bits of the computed first CRC value to obtain a reversed CRC value; multiply the bit reversed CRC value with a value based on a reciprocal CRC polynomial to generate a multiplication product; compute a second CRC value for the generated multiplication product based on the reciprocal CRC polynomial; and reverse bits of the second CRC value to generate a CRC for the packet.

Abstract:
A system and method for facilitating consistent management of a repeatable contract audit, resolution and recovery process is disclosed. A methodology that tightly defines the contract audit, resolution and recovery events enables an audit team to evaluate supplier performance against a contract, ascertain the existing health of a contract, and identify opportunities to improve and/or re-engineer a contracting process. The method begins with a meeting with a client, followed by a meeting with the supplier, and progresses to a process review, data collection, and a data analysis, which results in recommendations that are presented to the supplier based on the findings of the audit team. The audit team then works with the supplier to resolve any issues identified by the data analysis.
