  • Publication number: 20210021236
    Abstract: Exemplary aspects are directed to a power-amplification circuit including multiple in-parallel circuit paths, each including a power amplifier driving an immittance converter. Current from each output of the respective immittance converters is combined for delivery to a load. In a more specific example, a control circuit may be used to modulate, such as by enabling or disabling power delivered from, one or more of the power amplifiers for fast, coarse resetting of the overall power delivered to the load, and/or to modulate one or more of the modulate immittance converters (e.g., via a phase or signal-timing adjustment) to finely tune the resetting of the overall power delivered to the load. Using the control circuit for providing both the coarse adjustment and the fine adjustment, and fast acting precise delivery of overall power delivered to a load may be realized for any of a variety of applications.

  • Patent number: 10870892
    Abstract: Novel gene deletions and translocations involving chromosome 2 resulting in fusion proteins combining part of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) kinase with part of a secondary protein have been identified herein in human solid tumors, e.g. non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Secondary proteins include Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4 (EML-4) and TRK-Fusion Gene (TFC). The EML4-ALK fusion protein, which retains ALK tyrosine kinase activity, was confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of NSCLC characterized by this mutation. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ALK kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides.

  • Patent number: 10810089
    Abstract: Backup metrics are received from multiple endpoints. Backup baselines are established, based on backup metrics received over a period of time. Each established backup baseline specifies an empirically determined baseline level of backup activity according to specific criteria. Changes in backup behavior are detected, as measured against established backup baselines, based on analyzing received backup metrics. Such changes can be detected by applying a non-supervised machine learning technique to backup metrics. Detected backup behavior changes that meet a corresponding threshold are further analyzed to determine whether to alter corresponding backup activity in response. Backup activity on endpoints can be modified, in response to the analysis. This can take the form of omitting specific files or folders from corresponding backups, or changing default backup configuration(s). For example, a new or modified default backup configuration can be transmitted to one or more endpoints.

  • Patent number: 10810088
    Abstract: A system and method of dynamic backup policy generation based upon a user's behavior is provided. The method may include detecting a user's usage pattern of files within a computing system based upon the user's backup or restore activities. In some embodiments, the backup system may identify the files that have been modified and calculate the percentage of modification away from a predetermined baseline or another previously stored version. The system may generate a list of the identified files along with these percentages to form the user's usage pattern. The method may further include generating a user's profile including files having high access rates in accordance with this usage pattern and adjusting a backup policy based upon the user's profile such that these files are backed-up more frequently. The backup policy may also be adjusted based upon a detected level of risk associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20200328737
    Abstract: In specific examples, aspects are directed towards eliminating, mitigating or reducing gate loss in circuits including, for example, WBG power devices. One such example is directed towards an apparatus including first and second types of field-effect transistor (FET), where the first type is characterized as being a normally-on FET in a switching-circuit operation with a high-voltage rating, and the second type of FET is characterized as being a normally-off FET in a switching-circuit operation with a voltage rating that is much less than the high-voltage rating of the first type of FET circuit. The FET are arranged in a cascode manner so that, in response to a switching control signal received by the second type of FET circuit, the second type of FET circuit is active to drive the first type of FET.

  • Patent number: 10725870
    Abstract: The content of each specific image file on an endpoint is analyzed. Each analyzed image file is categorized based on the results of analyzing its content. The analysis can be in the form identifying one or more objects graphically represented in given image files, and the categorization of image files can be based on these identified graphically represented object(s). A backup policy is configured to automatically backup specific image files on the endpoint, based on their content as per the categorization. Information concerning the content-based categorization of the image files on the endpoint can be output to a user. In response, directives for backing-up image files according to their content-based categorization can be received from the user. Specific images files are backed-up automatically, regardless of their location on the endpoint, according to the configured backup policy.
