摘要:
A technique for voltage regulation involves switching between light load mode and PWM mode based on load conditions. Advantageously, this improves efficiency at light load. In an embodiment, error amplifier output is used to determine whether load is light. When light load is detected, extend PWM off time until the output voltage reaches a load threshold.

A system for detecting electrical arcing on an electrical power system includes: a) a data acquisition unit that is electrically connected to an electrical power system, wherein the data acquisition unit is configured to monitor signals indicative of a first periodic property of the electrical power system, wherein the signal includes a normal load component; and b) a computing device operably connected to the data acquisition unit. The computing device is programmed to: i) obtain first data from the data acquisition unit indicative of the temporal behavior of the first signal; ii) remove the normal load component from the first data; and iii) determine that an arcing event is present on the electrical power system when the at least one burst within the first data presents a generally sinusoidal shape which includes generally flat regions which are present where the generally sinusoidal shape crosses over a zero-magnitude line.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to implement an opinion search engine. The instructions to implement an opinion search engine cause the computer to collect opinion data about one or more objects from the Internet, extract metadata about the opinion data from the opinion data, remove duplicate metadata from the metadata to generate a resulting metadata, categorize the resulting metadata for similar objects according to one or more taxonomies from one or more websites on the Internet and rank the similar objects based on the categorized metadata.
摘要:
A multi-phase DC-DC converter is disclosed. The DC-DC converter has a plurality of phases, each with a separate PWM generator for driving a totem pole of transistors. A master PWM generator operates off of a master clock signal. The remainder of the phases are slaved to the master PWM generator.

A method for analyzing an electrical power system using fuzzy logic includes: (a) acquiring data representing a signal of interest of the power system; (b) analyzing the signal using at least one fuzzy logic rule; and (c) based on the analysis, detecting and classifying at least one power system event within the power system.
摘要:
Methods for processing a signal of interest in an electrical power system are provided, as well as systems and computer program products for carrying out the methods. The methods include obtaining a representative window of data points from the signal of interest; obtaining a window of interest containing data points from the signal of interest; and comparing a phase drift compensated window to the representative window, wherein the compensated window is calculated in accordance with the window of interest and a phase drift that is present in the window of interest relative to the representative window.

A flow of a LED current (ILED2) through one or more LEDs is controlled by a LED current control circuit (50-54) implementing a method (30) that is independent of an input line and a load of the LED(s).
摘要:
The present invention introduces methods and circuits to amplify audio signals for driving speakers. An additional feedback circuit is added in an audio amplifier to couple the amplifier stage and output stage of the audio amplifier. The feedback circuit turned off as long as output voltages of the audio amplifier are not near saturation. The feedback circuit is turned on to reduce audible noises if output voltages of the audio amplifier are near saturation.
