Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may analyze previous patterns of harvested energy to predict future patterns of available harvested energy. This prediction may then be used to choose from among multiple methods of energy reduction techniques. The energy reduction techniques may include multiple versions of reducing or modifying instruction execution. Reduced instruction execution may include reducing the precision of various calculations.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein describe operating a master-slave controller. Operating the master-slave controller comprises, based on a determination that the first output voltage value is greater than the second output voltage value, calculating a first duty cycle value and an input voltage value and the second voltage regulator, calculating a second duty cycle value based on the first duty cycle value, and based on a determination that the second output voltage value is greater than or equal to the first output voltage value, calculating the second duty cycle value based on the second output voltage value and the input voltage value and calculating the first duty cycle value based on the second duty cycle value and configuring the first voltage regulator with the first duty cycle value and the second voltage regulator with the second duty cycle value.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to controlling the supply of power to computing devices with dynamically variable energy capacity are described. In one embodiment, logic causes modification to supply of power from a power source to one or more loads in response to a comparison of an output of the power source and a threshold value. The output of the power source may vary over a time period (e.g., oscillating) that causes the one or more loads to become inoperational. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for harvesting electrical energy from a plurality of harvesters is disclosed. An example energy harvesting system includes a plurality of harvesters and a signal conditioning circuit selectively coupled to an output of each of the plurality of harvesters. The system also includes an energy storage element coupled to the output of the signal conditioning circuit to be charged by the plurality of harvesters through the signal conditioning circuit. The system also includes a controller to discharge a selected harvester to the signal conditioning circuit when an output of the selected harvester triggers a charge collection.

Abstract: Generally, this disclosure describes an apparatus. The apparatus includes switch controller circuitry and zero crossing logic circuitry. The switch controller circuitry is to control a conduction state of a high side switch and a low side switch in a DC to DC converter. The zero crossing logic circuitry includes phase comparator circuitry, a first clocking circuitry and a second clocking circuitry. Each clocking circuitry includes one or more delay elements. The zero crossing logic circuitry is to monitor a switch node voltage, Vsw, and to determine whether Vsw is greater than a reference, Vref. The switch controller circuitry is to turn off a low side switch if Vsw is greater than Vref while the low side switch is turned on, Vsw greater than Vref corresponding to a negative inductor current.
