  • Patent number: 10811866
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a circuit can include a reference current generator configured to generate a first current signal representative of a threshold voltage. The circuit can also include a current comparator configured to mirror the first current signal, generate a second current signal representative of a received voltage and compare the second current signal to the first current signal. The current comparator can also be configured to provide a detection signal at a first logic value to indicate that the received voltage is below the threshold voltage when the comparison of the second current signal with the first current signal indicates that the received voltage is less than the threshold voltage.

  • Patent number: 10324904
    Abstract: Examples are generally directed towards converting complex structure attributes into flattened data. A configuration capture component analyzes a set of objects associated with a set of complex structure attributes. A complex structure attribute is an attribute of an object that is an array attribute or a nested object attribute. The configuration capture component performs a hash type conversion to convert nested object attributes into flattened data. The configuration capture component performs an array type conversion to convert nested array attributes into flattened data. The flattened data is stored or imported in a set of flattened data files. An expansion component converts the flattened data files back into the complex structure attributes without losing or corrupting the complex structure data.
