  • Publication number: 20210374703
    Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for dynamically adjusting item fulfillment times based, in part, on how many mobile electronic devices are currently located at the merchant. If the number is greater than a baseline number of devices by more than a threshold, then an expected wait time may be adjusted upwards. If the number is less than a baseline number of devices by more than a threshold, then the expected wait time may be adjusted downwards.

  • Publication number: 20210313882
    Abstract: A method for dynamic enhancement of loop response upon recovery from fault conditions includes detecting a fault condition in response to a programmed output voltage of a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converter decreasing below an input voltage of the PWM converter. A peak voltage is sampled at the end of at least one of a plurality of clock cycles of the PWM converter in response to detecting the fault condition, wherein the peak voltage is proportional to a sensed current conducted through a transistor. An error output of an error amplifier is preset to an error value determined by the peak voltage. A PWM driver is controlled with the error value to drive the transistor. An output load is charged to the programmed output voltage with the transistor in response to the input voltage increasing above the programmed output voltage.
