Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a power supply management system adapted for use with at least one utility proxy power source, to help control powering a load when an AC mains power source is not available to provide power to the load. The system has a power converter forming an uninterruptible power supply, and includes a controller configured to control operation of the power converter. A supplemental battery subsystem is included which is in communication with the power converter for supplying DC power to the power converter. The controller monitors the application of power from the utility proxy to the load and uses the DC power supplied by the supplemental battery subsystem, when needed, to supplement the generation of power by the power converter, to thus assist the power converter in powering the load along with the power being provided by the utility proxy.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a categorization system for 100 categorizing a sensitive data field in a dataset, e.g., a disease classification according to the ICD classification. A client device is to obtain categories for one or more records of the dataset. The client device determines categorization data for the categorization. The categorization data comprises homomorphic encryptions of possible values of the sensitive data field and encodings of the categories associated to the respective possible values, thus keeping the categorization secret. A data provider device stores the dataset and determines homomorphic encryption indicating differences between the value of the sensitive data field for a record and respective possible values. A categorization device determines which of those encryptions indicates a match and provides a category encoding associated with a matching possible value to the client device. The client device associates the encoded category to the record.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an integrated circuit (IC) structure, including: a p-type substrate, a p-well region within the p-type substrate, and an n-type barrier region between the p-type substrate and the p-well region. The n-type barrier region physically isolates the p-type substrate from the p-well region. A field effect transistor (FET) is positioned above the p-well region, and a buried insulator layer on the upper surface of the p-well region separates the transistor from the p-well region. A first voltage source electrically coupled to the p-well region induces a P-N-P junction across the p-well region, the n-type barrier region, and the p-type substrate.
