Abstract: Methods of operating an induction geyser include drawing current through a resonant tank via a transistor, generating a changing magnetic field around the resonant tank. Owing to the strategic placement of the resonant tank in proximity to a fluid tank, the changing magnetic field envelopes the fluid tank. In a first method, the voltage across the transistor's conduction terminals is monitored, and when this voltage surpasses a predefined threshold, indicating an overvoltage condition, a corrective action is initiated in which a gate driver pulls up a gate drive signal that drives the transistor. In a second method, the current flowing between the transistor's conduction terminals is monitored, and upon detecting an overcurrent condition where the current exceeds a set threshold the gate driver is activated to pull down the gate drive signal. Both methods aim to keep operation of the geyser within desired parameters.

Abstract: A system includes a random access memory organized into individually addressable words. Streaming access control circuitry is coupled to word lines of the random access memory. The streaming access control circuitry responds to a request to access a plurality of individually addressable words of a determined region of the random access memory by generating control signals to drive the word lines to streamingly access the plurality of individually addressable words of the determined region. The request indicates an offset associated with the determined region and a pattern associated with the streaming access.

Abstract: A processing system includes a plurality of configuration data clients; each associated with a respective address and including a respective register, a hardware block, a non-volatile memory, and a hardware configuration circuit. A respective configuration data client receives a respective first configuration data and stores it in the respective register. The hardware block is coupled to at least one of the configuration data clients and changes operation as a function of the respective first configuration data stored in the respective registers. The non-volatile memory includes second configuration data stored as data packets including the respective first configuration data and an attribute field identifying the respective address of one of the configuration data clients. The hardware configuration circuit sequentially reads the data packets from the non-volatile memory and transmits the respective first configuration data to the respective configuration data client.

Abstract: Systems and devices are provided to enable granular control over a retention or active state of each of a plurality of memory circuits, such as a plurality of memory cell arrays, within a memory. Each respective memory array of the plurality of memory arrays is coupled to a respective ballast driver and a respective active memory signal switch for the respective memory array. One or more voltage regulators are coupled to a ballast driver gate node and to a bias node of at least one of the respective memory arrays. In operation, the respective active memory signal switch for a respective memory array causes the respective memory array to transition between an active state for the respective memory array and a retention state for the respective memory array.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an efficient optical scanning system takes the output of a multi-laser bar emitter with high divergence and delivers a combined beam of long vertical stripes of optical power that have a nearly top hat distribution along a vertical scanning axis and a narrow width along a horizontal scanning axis. This line footprint of the combined beam is scanned by a mirror onto a scene for use as ranging light in a distance measurement system.

Abstract: An optical module includes a fast-axis mirror that scans a laser beam along a fast-axis, a magnification mirror set formed by three discrete mirrors shaped to magnify the laser beam as it is scanned along the fast-axis and reflect the laser beam after magnification toward a slow-axis mirror that scans the laser beam along the slow-axis, and an Offner mirror relay that receives the laser beam as it is scanned along the slow-axis and reflects the laser beam out an exit aperture. The laser beam as output from the exit aperture is received at an input diffractive grating of a diffractive waveguide, with a user's eye being positioned adjacent an output diffractive grating of the waveguide such that the user's eye views ambient light entering the waveguide from objects within the user's field of view as well as light from the laser beam as it exits the output diffractive grating.

Abstract: A processing system is described. The processing system comprises a microprocessor, a memory controller, a resource and a communication system. The microprocessor is configured to send read requests in order to request the transmission of first data, or write requests comprising second data. The memory controller is configured to read third data from a memory. The processing system comprises also a safety monitor circuit comprising an error detection circuit configured to receive data bits and respective Error Correction Code, ECC, bits, wherein the data bits correspond to the first, second or third data. The safety monitor circuit calculates further ECC bits and generates an error signal by comparing the calculated ECC bits with the received ECC bits. A fault collection and error management circuit receives the error signal from the safety monitor circuits. For example the safety monitor circuit comprises a test circuit configured to provide modified data bits and/or modified ECC bits to the error detection circuit as a function of connectivity test control signals, whereby the error detection circuit asserts the error signal as a function of the connectivity test control signals. The processing system comprises also a connectivity test control circuit comprising control registers programmable via the microprocessor, wherein the connectivity test control signals are generated as a function of the content of the control registers.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a lead frame design that includes a copper alloy base material coated with an electroplated copper layer, a precious metal, and an adhesion promotion compound. The layers compensate for scratches or surface irregularities in the base material while promoting adhesion from the lead frame to the conductive connectors, and to the encapsulant by coupling them to different layers of a multilayer coating on the lead frame. The first layer of the multilayer coating is a soft electroplated copper to smooth the surface of the base material. The second layer of the multilayer coating is a thin precious metal to facilitate a mechanical coupling between leads of the lead frame and conductive connectors. The third layer of the multilayer coating is the adhesion promotion compound for facilitating a mechanical coupling to an encapsulant around the lead frame.
