  • Patent number: 11962233
    Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

  • Publication number: 20240099307
    Abstract: A method for making an antimicrobial composite film can include forming a first coating layer by applying a first coating material on a substrate and forming a second coating layer by applying a second coating material on the first coating layer. The first coating material can comprise a first resin. The second coating material can comprise an antimicrobial material in a second resin or a dispersion. The first coating material can have a lower concentration of the antimicrobial material than the second coating material. The first and second coating layers can cooperatively define a composite film. The antimicrobial material can be asymmetrically dispersed in the composite film such that the antimicrobial material is concentrated closer to the outer surface of the composite film than to the inner surface of the composite film.

  • Patent number: 11941379
    Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.

  • Publication number: 20240074831
    Abstract: A dental laser system for treatment of hard and/or soft tissue includes a main chamber housing optical and primary fluid supply subsystems, for directing a laser beam and fluid to a treatment area. A hand piece affixable to the main chamber, includes mating optical and secondary fluid supply subsystems. The hand piece can be rotatable or re-orientable about an optical axis within the hand piece. A lock can maintain a selectable angular orientation of the hand piece relative to the main chamber. A coupling can maintain a fluidic communication between the primary and secondary fluid supply subsystems even when the hand piece is rotated or re-oriented. A sensor and controller can sense a selected angular orientation of the hand piece and adjust the main optical subsystem according to the sensed angular orientation, to align the two optical subsystems. The laser may be controlled using a variable speed foot pedal.

  • Publication number: 20240045075
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an automatic interference/jamming detection system for use with a GNSS receiver or a GNSS receiver and off-the-shelf jamming detector. The automatic jamming detection system utilizes one of the following two techniques: using a jamming detector in conjunction with a GNSS receiver in order to analyze received data for key data indicators for suspicious interference/jamming activities such as signal-to-noise ratio, phase or maximum power, or using a trained jamming detection algorithm to convert received/stored GNSS data into spectrograms to visually highlight anomalies or potential interference/jamming events and then further using the Box-Cox transform to train the algorithm in order to transform data into a normal distribution for comparison against user tunable thresholds to further highlight potential interference/jamming events.

  • Publication number: 20240029059
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to utilizing a multiple network credits to enable computing devices to access and utilize a mesh network. A request is received to access the network. The request is sent to a government currency-to-token exchange to exchange government currency from the user into tokens for the user. The tokens are then exchanged into network credits, which are assigned to the user. A network-access request associated with the user is then received. A portion of the network credits are re-assigned from the user to other users based on the network-access request. The user is then enabled to access to the network for the network-access request in response to the re-assignment of the portion of the network credits.

  • Patent number: 11871329
    Abstract: In a first participant in a network—such as an ad hoc wireless network—a facility performs peer regulation of the network. The facility monitors behavior of a second participant in the network that has appointed itself a routing participant for the network. Among the monitored behavior, the facility identifies behavior of the second participant that is inconsistent with its routing participant status. In response to this identifying, the facility sends a message to participants of the network including a third participant indicating that the second participant is no longer a routing participant.
