Abstract: A cloud based and on-premise based notification solution for notifying people of a pending, occurring, or ongoing event. These can be emergency, non-emergency or informative in nature. The notification solution is deployed in the form of a mobile software application which can be downloaded by end users to their personal mobile device and used to sync with desired notification system(s). A mobile software application, commonly referred to as an “app,” is downloaded to a user's mobile device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer. Once there, the user can be notified of any emergency or non-emergency notifications by others in any networks the user joins. Signing up to new networks for new notifications, the user is never required to provide any personally identifiable information.

Abstract: A current-sharing multiphase sliding-mode switching power supply (24) and method of operation are presented. A bipolar power source (22) is coupled to a switch (30) for each phase (28), each switch (30) is in turn coupled to an inductance (32), and a capacitance (36) is coupled to the inductances (32) and across a load (26). A sliding-surface generator (78) generates a sliding surface (?). A current-balance control (80) computes a reference current as a summary statistic (IX) of inductive currents (IL) through the inductances (32), calculates an error current (IE) for each phase (28) as a difference between the summary statistic (IX) and the inductive current (IL), and adjusts the sliding surface (?) for each phase (28) so that all inductive currents (IL) are substantially equal to the summary statistic (IX). A switching circuit (138) switches the switches (30) in response to the sliding surface (?).
