  • Publication number: 20220166312
    Abstract: A switched capacitor converter circuit includes: plural capacitors and plural switches which switch the connections of the plural capacitors periodically. In a first period, the plural switches control a first capacitor to be electrically connected between a first power and a second power, and control a second capacitor and a third capacitor to be electrically connected in series between the second power and a ground level. In a second period, the plural switches control the first capacitor and the second capacitor to be electrically connected in series between the second power and the ground, and control the third capacitor and the second capacitor to be electrically connected in parallel with the second power, thereby a second current of the second power is 4 times of a first current of the first power.

  • Patent number: 11194688
    Abstract: Techniques for an optimization service of a service provider network to generate an architecture diagram that represents an architecture of a web-based application. The optimization service may use the architecture diagram to determine modifications or changes to make to the application. For example, the optimization service may compare the architecture diagram with optimized architecture diagrams that represent application best practices, and determine the modifications or change to make to the application to optimize the application and bring the application in-line with best practices. Further, the optimization service may use the architecture diagram to generate a visualization, and provide the user account with the visualization of the architecture diagram to show users their application architecture.
