  • Publication number: 20190164242
    Abstract: Systems, methods and tools directed toward point-based license sharing mechanism that allows resource providers to dynamically control the computing resources each customer consumes by assigning point values to the license agreements between the customers and resource providers. Customers can select the amount of available points in a personalized license agreement and instead of using a “pay as you go” model, the customer upgrades and downgrades resources and services through point transfers which convert points into the resources Using the point-based conversions, customers have greater control over each license without inadvertently spending more money than expected on resources because the resources are limited to the available points in the license agreement, unless the licenses are purposefully upgraded by user.

  • Patent number: 10290244
    Abstract: An overcurrent protection circuit of a GOA circuit is provided. A voltage signal from a control signal source of the GOA circuit is converted into a current signal, and then the current signal is amplified. Subsequently, a product of the amplified current signal and a load resistor is compared with a threshold voltage. If the product is larger than the threshold voltage, a controller controls a switch to output a low voltage level signal to ensure that the GOA circuit is at an overcurrent protected state. In this way, the panel is prevented from being damaged due to overabundant currents. Besides, the comparison of the amplified current signal is good for decreasing detection difficulties, enhancing precision of a measurement, and lowering risk of operation mistakes. Moreover, 2D and 3D modes in overcurrent protection through different load circuits improve the effect of protection.
