Abstract: A power system utilizing a method and apparatus to cost-effectively and efficiently supply power to an electrical system requiring a switchable main power source and a continuous auxiliary power source. Specifically, the power system utilizes an improved power converter having a main output circuit and an auxiliary output circuit coupled to a common input circuit. Primary switching circuitry in the input circuit, secondary switching circuitry in the main output circuit, and capacitance in the auxiliary output circuit allow for the systematic control of the main output from the power converter to the electrical system. In particular, the main output circuit can be switched on and off without interrupting the auxiliary output circuits supply of electrical power to the electrical system. Moreover, switching at a zero current state allows for the use of more cost-effective and efficient circuitry. The power system method and apparatus of the present invention produces functionality and operating characteristics similar to using two separate and independent power systems to supply an electrical system but with increased efficiency as well as reduced cost and complexity.

Abstract: An AC-AC ballast system for a discharge lamp (e.g., a fluorescent lamp), which includes a PFC converter which incorporates an isolation transformer, and a DC-AC inverter provided on the secondary side of the isolation transformer. Because the AC line input is isolated from the lamp load by the transformer in the PFC converter, the switching frequency of the PFC converter can be advantageously significantly higher than the lamp current frequency (and the switching frequency of the DC-AC inverter), to thereby enable a significant reduction in the size and weight of the ballast system, without an increase in the emission of EMI radiation from the lamp. In this regard, the ballast system of the present invention can be thought of as a two-frequency ballast system having an isolated PFC converter.

Abstract: A static random access memory (SRAM) bit cell and a related SRAM array are provided. In one aspect, an SRAM cell is configured to perform an XNOR function on a first input value and a second input value. In another aspect, a number of the SRAM cells can be employed to form an SRAM array for supporting deep neural network and machine learning applications. The SRAM cell is coupled to a word line(s) and an inverted word line(s) that collectively define the first input value. The SRAM cell causes a voltage and/or current difference between a bit line(s) and a complementary bit line(s) coupled to the SRAM cell. By customizing the SRAM cell to enable the XNOR function and forming a binary neural network based on the SRAM array, it is possible to effectively implement computing-in-memory (CIM) for deep neural network and machine learning applications.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and machine readable and executable instructions and/or logic. An example method for creating a handwritten character font library can include receiving a set of standard characters to a computing device, and deriving a group of character components from the initial set of characters. A subset of characters is selected from the set of standard characters, the subset collectively including substantially all the group of character components. Handwritten characters corresponding to the subset of characters are received to the computing device, and handwritten character components are extracted from the hand written characters corresponding to the group of character components. A set of handwritten characters is then constructed from the received handwritten characters and/or the handwritten character components.
