Abstract: A driver for driving a switched-mode power supply is presented. The driver receives a set of input signals. Each input signal is configured for changing a state of an associated power switch from a first state to a second state. The driver generates an output signal to change the state of the associated power switch from the first state to the second state. When the first state is an on state and the second state is an off state, the driver asserts the output signal to change the state of the associated power switch to perform an on-off transition. When the first state is the off state and the second state is the on state, the driver delays the assertion of the output signal to perform an off-on transition by a predetermined delay time, so that the off-on transition is delayed until all intended on-off transitions have occurred.

Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each phrase word of a phrase to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a phrase word of the phrase. The method further includes obtaining sensor information for one or more phrase words of the phrase. The method further includes selecting an identigen of a first set of identigens based on the sensor information to produce a first identigen selection for the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of one or more different meanings of the first phrase word. The method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens of the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group so that the entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase.
