Abstract:
An active linear regulator circuit in parallel with a filter capacitor of a switching voltage regulator injects current to a load only when the switching regulator and capacitor cannot supply adequate current to follow high frequency load transients in a manner which is compatible with adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) requirements. control of current injection and determination of the insufficiency of current from the switching regulator and capacitors is achieved by impedance matching of the linear regulator to the switching regulator. The linear regulator thus operates at relatively low current and duty cycle to limit power dissipation therein. By matching impedances and increasing the bandwidth of the switching regulator, filter capacitor requirements can be reduced to the point of being met entirely by packaging and/or on-die capacitors which may be placed close to or at the point of load to reduce parasitic inductance, as can the linear regulator.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for testing user interfaces of software application. The techniques include interacting with a user to identify one or more straight lines in a first rendering of a user interface for a software application, the straight lines being diagnostic of the correct layout of the first rendering of the user interface, and using the one or more straight lines as reference lines to determine if a second rendering of the user interface has a correct layout.

The present invention discloses a method for checking MA integrity, including: creating an MEP a; determining, by an MEP c in an MA, whether an MEP b with the same source port information as the MEP a exists in the MA; if there exists an MEP b with the same source port information as the MEP a in the MA, no isolated and unmated MEP exists in the MA; if an MEP b with the same source information as the MEP a does not exist in the MA, an isolated MEP exists in the MA. The present invention also discloses an apparatus for checking an MA integrity and a method and an apparatus for adding an MEP. The present invention enables a user to know whether an MA is integral and ensures MA integrity.

Abstract:
A multiple phase buck converter or boost converter, or buck-boost converter has an inductor in each phase. The inductors are inversely coupled. In a first embodiment, the converter includes a toroidal magnetic core with inductors extending under and over opposite sides of the toroidal magnetic core. The coupled inductors are thereby inversely coupled and have a relatively low ohmic resistance. In a second embodiment, the converter comprises a ladder-shaped magnetic core (i.e. having parallel sides, and connecting rungs). In this case, the inductors extend under the sides, and over the rungs. Each inductor is disposed over a separate rung. The ladder-shaped magnetic core is preferably disposed flat on a circuit board. Inverse coupling and low ohmic resistance are also provided in the second embodiment having the ladder structure.
Abstract:
We disclose a flat panel display suitable for viewing primarily from viewing angles or envelopes that are away from the direction that is perpendicular to the display panel (display normal). We disclose a way of increase the brightness of the display at large viewing angles. It is desirable to have such a display when the display is primarily viewed from directions that are not along the display normal, such as in the case of the cockpit of a transport aircraft where a display could be viewed mostly from left and right by the pilot and co-pilot. The display uses a light re-distributor (LRD) to increase the brightness of the display at larger viewing angles. The LRD consists of light re-directing portion, light straight-transmission portion and light scattering portion. For transmissive or transflective displays, light rays from the backlight entering the LRD at the light-redirecting portions are redirected and the rays that hits the light straight-transmission portion pass the LRD without changing direction. The surface profile of the light-redirecting portion determined the viewing angles/envelopes at which the light is directed to. This surface profile and the ratio of the light-redirecting portion to the light straight-transmission portion determine how much light is redirected to the viewing angles. The light distribution can be further modified by introducing a diffuser, either by surface treatment or by laminating a diffuser film onto the LRD. The diffuser can be used to smooth out brightness sharp changes at the boundaries of primary and secondary viewing envelopes. Commercially available materials, light-redirecting films and diffuser films can be used to construct a LRD of desired light re-distributing properties, making the LRD a cost effective element of the display. The LRD can be used for displays other than LCD, such as light emitting displays where no backlight exists, by placing the LRD on top the front substrate of the display.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for testing ports of a computer. The method includes steps of: connecting the testing ports and the non-testing ports of the computer according to a configuration document; creating virtual devices corresponding to the non-testing ports; analyzing corresponding relations between the virtual devices, the non-testing ports, and the testing ports; analyzing a count of the testing ports; and determining whether the testing ports are in good working condition by determining whether the count of the testing ports is equal to a count of the configuration records. A related system is also disclosed.
