Abstract: Several current sensing techniques are described that may be used to obtain an accurate current signal, which may help to achieve the best performance with a trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) topology. The techniques may have the coupling effect from the secondary side included, so the current sensing signal is accurate for the regulation and other functions related to the current signal. The current sensing techniques may have more accurate gain and phase information in the middle frequency and high frequency ranges. The coupling effect from the secondary side may be well represented in the current sensing signal. The advantages of TLVR topology may be enhanced with accurate current information.

Abstract: Systems and methods of driving plate loudspeakers with different parameters based on frequency region in a way similar to typical cone driver crossover networks are described. These systems and methods may be implemented using arrays of independently controlled drivers which allow a designer to emphasize or de-emphasize certain modes in certain frequency bands. Tuning the characteristics of the plate's motion can also affect the acoustical properties in a larger space rather than just at a single location. The systems and methods described herein can grant a designer a degree of control over the characteristics and performance of the plate.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and model evaluations systems for understanding diverse machine learning models (MLMs) are disclosed. In some examples, a feature contribution value is determined for features included in a reference or evaluation input data set. The evaluation input data set represents a protected class population and each feature contribution value identifies a contribution by a feature to a difference in output generated by an MLM for the evaluation input data set. Model explanation information is generated using the feature contribution values and execution of the MLM is monitored. The model explanation information explains the difference in output generated by the MLM for the evaluation input data set and includes information relating to a model-based decision. A report is generated from a knowledge graph for the MLM and output via a GUI to an operator device that includes the model explanation information.
