Abstract: Mechanisms to manage permissions to access user data in a distributed ledger trust network (“DLTN”) are described. A given user can share access to user data in a fine-grained way. Access to user data can depend on the category of the user data and/or the role of another user (e.g., whether the other user is recognized as a connection). Access to user data can be limited in duration. Permissions to access user data can be set proactively or reactively. A protocol allows a potential reviewer to request access to the user data of a given user, with the given user selectively approving or rejecting access by the reviewer. In this way, a given user can control access to user data in the DLTN, selectively granting (or revoking) access to some of the user data or all of the user data, by selected other users or by all other users.

The processor(s) may receive, from the machine-learning model, an output including a score for early-payment of the data entry according to the trade term and the data of the account, and transmit a notification for the invoice to a computing device of the enterprise.

Abstract: A control circuit regulates the propagation delay of a field effect transistor (FET) before the FET transitions to the Miller region by applying a pre-charge current for a fixed duration to the gates of the FET. After the fixed duration, the current is reduced to a lower drive current level which is based on a desired output voltage slew rate. After the FET transitions to the Miller region, the output voltage slews down in accordance with the output voltage slew rate. By regulating the slew-rate of the output voltage in the Miller region and regulating the propagation delay of the FET prior to the Miller region, the control circuit reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by the switching of the FET, thereby improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of switch mode driver systems without increasing the propagation delay of the FET.
