  • Publication number: 20180129510
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extending a remote desktop to a multi monitor configuration, with each monitor being viewable via a separate web client or native client, where the clients may further be executing on separate computing devices. After an initial remote desktop session is initiated via a first client, a second session with the remote desktop can be requested via a second client, which may be a web client or a native client executing on the same or different computing device as the first client. The remote desktop can be reconfigured to two monitor mode including a first and a second monitor. The graphical data of the first monitor can be streamed to the first client and the graphical data of the second monitor can be streamed to the second client. Consequently, the remote desktop can be extended to additional monitors in the same way.

  • Patent number: 9946637
    Abstract: An automated testing system is described for efficient testing of software applications. Locators are used by the test to find user interface elements in an application's graphical user interface during testing. If during a test a user interface element is not found, which may be due to a changed locator during code refactoring, the system finds the user interface element based on the element's type and on previously stored information about the element. Such information can be a snapshot image of the element, the coordinates of the element's location, dimensions of the element, or other information. Once the missing element is found, a new locator for the element is read and the test is performed using the new locator.

  • Patent number: 9287784
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating an adjustable bias current. The value of the adjustable bias current may be determined based in part on an error signal representative of a difference between an actual output value and a desired output value of a power converter. When the error signal is below a lower threshold voltage, the adjustable bias current may be set to a first value. When the error signal is above an upper threshold voltage, the adjustable bias current may be set to a second, higher value. When the error signal is between the lower threshold voltage and the upper threshold voltage, the adjustable bias current may change linearly with the error signal.

  • Patent number: 9219420
    Abstract: Systems and processes for protecting a power converter against overvoltage conditions are disclosed. In one example, an overvoltage protection circuit may be used to sense the input voltage of the power converter to determine whether the input voltage is greater than a threshold value. In response to determining that the sensed input voltage is greater than the threshold value, an input capacitance and/or capacitance of an EMI filter of the power converter may be discharged to ground or an input return through a tapFET of a switching element of the power converter to protect the components of the device. The capacitance(s) may continue to be discharged through the tapFET for a duration of time after the sensed input voltage falls below the threshold value to allow the capacitance(s) to discharge to a safe level.
