  • Patent number: 10935999
    Abstract: A voltage regulator with a load line circuit is disclosed. The load line circuit is configured to receive a sensed voltage corresponding to an output current of the voltage regulator. The load line circuit is further configured to generate a complex (e.g., nonlinear) load line voltage that is combined with the output voltage of the voltage regulator and compared with a set voltage of the voltage regulator to produce an error signal. The error signal is used as feedback for the voltage regulator so that the output voltage of the voltage regulator can droop by a particular amount corresponding to a particular output current of the voltage regulator. The disclosed analog approach requires neither clock signals nor digital circuitry and utilizes a parallel topology that allows the disclosed approach to be fast and energy efficient.

  • Publication number: 20210056142
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to inferring device rendered object interaction behavior. An apparatus is configured to receive historical device rendered object interaction data associated with a client device. The historical device rendered object interaction data includes a plurality of records. Each record is associated with a device rendered object category. For each record, the device rendered object category is extracted. For each device rendered object category, a penalty value is generated. The penalty value is a programmatically generated predicted network time delay during which device rendered objects associated with the device rendered object category are not to be transmitted to the client device. A penalty decision, used to determine whether to apply the penalty value to future transmissions of device rendered objects to the client device, is generated.
