Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes a primary-side control-circuit having an oscillator driving a transformer in response to assertion of a PWM-signal to transmit power from the primary to the secondary and ceasing in response to deassertion of the PWM-signal, and a receiver demodulator circuit receiving/demodulating a feedback signal sent from the secondary to the primary by comparing an instantaneous value of an envelope indicative of voltages at the primary-coil to an average-value of the envelope to produce a reset-signal. A PWM circuit asserts the PWM-signal in response to a set-signal and deasserts the PWM-signal in response to assertion of the reset-signal. A secondary-side control-circuit rectifies the received power, asserts an intermediate feedback-signal if feedback indicative of the output voltage is greater than a reference-voltage, and connects a capacitance between the secondary and ground in response to assertion of the intermediate feedback-signal to modulate and send the feedback to the primary.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media structured to perform server-to-device secure data exchange using a device access token. In an embodiment, a smart device receives, from a requestor entity provided to the smart device, an account data provisioning request for an account. Based on the account data provisioning request, an account identifier for the account is determined. In some arrangements, the account identifier comprises or is associated with a device access token. Based on the device access token, a data element associated with the account is determined. In some embodiments, the data element is accessible to the requestor entity only if it is not access-restricted based on the device access token. Based on the data element, an executable graphic rendering instruction is generated.

Abstract: A method for determining temperature of a chip, includes generating a first voltage and a second voltage using a pair of bipolar-junction transistors, and generating a third voltage using another bipolar-junction transistor. When a most recent bit of a bitstream is a logic-zero, the difference between the first and second voltages is sampled using a switched-capacitor input-sampling circuit, and a difference between the first and second voltages is integrated, to produce a proportional-to-absolute-temperature voltage. The proportional-to-absolute-temperature voltage is quantized to produce a next bit of the bitstream. When the most recent bit of the bitstream is a logic-one, the third voltage is sampled using the switched-capacitor input-sampling circuit, and the third voltage is integrated, to produce a complementary-to-absolute-temperature voltage. The complementary-to-absolute-temperature voltage is quantized to produce a next bit of the bitstream.

Abstract: A model may be trained on a training dataset, e.g., for medical image processing or medical signal processing tasks. Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for associating a population descriptor with the trained model and using the population descriptor to determine whether records to which the model is to be applied, conform to the population descriptor.

For instance, the model may be applied only to records conforming to population descriptor, or model outputs of applying the model to non-conforming records may be flagged as possibly untrustworthy.
