Abstract: Methods and systems for managing configuration of data processing systems are disclosed. Configuration of data processing systems may be managed by limiting connectivity to components of data processing systems and credentialing access for the components. To enable access to components of data processing systems, the operation of the components may be updated for limited durations of time to allow various devices to communicate with these components. While allowed to communicate, the components of the data process system may restrict access to credentialed users.

Abstract: An isolation driver circuit for a pulse width modulation signal. The isolation driver circuit includes a rising edge detection circuit, a falling edge detection circuit, and a decoder. The rising edge detection circuit and the falling edge detection circuit respectively detect rising edges and falling edges of the input pulse width modulation signal, and respectively output corresponding rising edge detection signals and falling edge detection signals that are capacitively isolated from the input pulse width modulation signal. The decoder receives the rising edge detection signals and the falling edge detection signals, and outputs respective rising edges and falling edges of an output pulse width modulation signal that temporally align with the respective rising edges and falling edges of the input pulse width modulation signal. Thus, information stored in the pulse widths of the input pulse width modulation signal are preserved with high fidelity in the output pulse width modulation signal.

Abstract: A circuit that is capable of generating a negative voltage on a negative voltage supply node. The circuit includes a negative voltage generation circuit, an oscillator and an oscillator control signal generator. The negative voltage generation circuit generates a negative voltage on the negative voltage supply node in response to receiving a signal from the oscillator. The negative voltage generated by the negative voltage generation circuit depends upon the frequency of the signal from the oscillator. The oscillator control signal generator controls the frequency of the signal from the oscillator by sensing the negative voltage present on the negative voltage supply node, and by increasing or decreasing the frequency of the signal from the oscillator accordingly. Thus, charge is replenished to the negative voltage supply node to more closely match the drawing of charge from that negative voltage supply node, thereby more accurately generating the negative voltage.

Aspects of this disclosure enhance (e.g., optimize) area and reduce leakage power associated with circuits and systems. Furthermore, aspects of this disclosure enable and enhance an insertion of clock-gating circuits or mechanisms to reduce dynamic-power consumption depending on states of the qualifiers.

A selection of a material is received, and the selection is displayed in a graphic user interface. Amounts of material and energy consumed in a manufacturing process are calculated. A chemical composition of the material is decomposed into a set of constituent elements. A first quantity of CO2 emissions is estimated based on the amount of material consumed and a first CO2 emission factor based on a proportional composition of the set of constituent elements in the chemical composition. A second quantity of CO2 emissions is estimated based on the amount of energy consumed and a second CO2 emission factor based on an energy source used in the manufacturing process. Total CO2 emissions, based on both the first and second quantities, are then displayed in the graphic user interface.

Abstract: An Application Data Management System (ADMS) enables an application file system to be mounted at any selected reconstruction time (TR). If the reconstruction time TR falls intermediate snapshot creation timepoints, the ADMS creates a version of the application file system at the selected reconstruction time TR using a snapshot of the data file from a previous application file system snapshot creation timepoint, and a snapshot of the log file from a subsequent application file system snapshot creation timepoint. The ADMS uses the snapshot of the log file from the subsequent snapshot creation timepoint to replay transactions on the snapshot of the data file from the previous snapshot creation timepoint up to the selected reconstruction time TR. This enables the state of the application file system to be recreated and mounted at any arbitrary selected reconstruction time, even if the selected reconstruction time is not coincident with snapshot creation timepoints.
