Abstract: An electronic device may include a sensing circuit and a current subtraction circuit. The sensing circuit may output first and second current signals. The current subtraction circuit may mirror the first and second current signals onto first and second current branches. The second current branch may be split into a first sub-path and a second sub-path. An amplifier may control the amount of current flowing through the second sub-path by forcing the current flowing through the first current branch and the current flowing through the first sub-path to be identical. Configured in this way, the current flowing through the second sub-path will be equal to the difference between the first and second current signals. The current flowing through the second sub-path may be optionally amplified using another current mirror.

Abstract: Different containers are used for different usage sessions, a container referring to a virtualization layer for a computing device and used for isolation as well as hardware resource partitioning. A usage session refers to the time span beginning when one or more users begin to use the computing device, and ending when the one or more users cease using the computing device. During a particular usage session that uses a container, all interaction with the computing device is maintained in the container. The container is deleted when the usage session ends, leaving no data from the usage session behind after the usage session ends. Additionally, some usage sessions need not be run in containers, so data generated during such usage sessions is maintained after usage session ends. The host operating system automatically determines which usage sessions to run in containers and which usage sessions to run separate from any containers.
