Abstract: During an update technique, an update to a software application is received from a provider of a software application. Then, update information is either received from the provider or is generated. This update information, which is other than an application identifier and a version number associated with the update, specifies an update relationship between the update and at least a previous version of the software application. Subsequently, configuration information (such as whether the previous version of the software application is currently installed on a portable electronic device) is received from the portable electronic device. In response to the received configuration information, the update is provided to the portable electronic device along with update information. Using the update information, an application management system or the operating system installed on the portable electronic device determines whether an update workflow is executed.

Abstract: A method and system of flicker suppression for an LED 26. The method includes providing a power supply 10 for supplying current to the LED 26. The power supply 10 includes a flicker suppressor 50 and is responsive to a dim command signal. The method further includes receiving the dim command signal at the power supply 10, switching the current on and limiting the current to maintain LED light output below 110 percent of the LED light output corresponding to the dim command signal.

Abstract: A LED based lighting system (20) employs a LED load temperature sensor (40) for generating a temperature-sensing signal (TSS) indicative of an operational temperature of the LED load (10), a LED current sensor (50) for generating a current-sensing signal (CSS) indicative of a flow of the LED current (ILED) through the LED load (10), and a LED driver (30) for regulating the flow of the LED current (ILED) through the LED load (10) as a function a mixture of the current-sensing signal (CSS) and the temperature-sensing signal (TSS). The system (20) can further employ a driver disable notifier (80) and a LED driver disabler (90), or alternatively, a fuse network (100) for disabling the LED driver (30) upon a detection of a fault condition of the system (20).

Abstract: The power supply (20) for LEDs provides power to a LED light source (10) having a variable number of LEDs wired in series and/or in parallel. The power supply (20) uses current and voltage feedback to adjust power to the LEDs and provides protection to the LED light source (10). A feedback controller (27) compares sensed current and sensed voltage to a reference signal and generates a feedback signal, which is processed by a power factor corrector (124) to adjust the current flow through the transformer supplying current to the LEDs. A LED control switch (24) clamps a peak of the current to the LEDs to provide further protection to the LED light source (10). A short/open detection circuit (30) indicates any detection of a “LED outage” of the LED light source (10).
