Abstract: According to examples, a backpack power equipment may include a power equipment, a base frame to be worn on a user's back, a connecting member connecting the power equipment to the base frame about an axis at a first height from a bottom of the base frame, a motor controller module mounted to the base frame, and a battery management module mounted to the base frame. The motor controller module and the battery management module are both positioned above the first height. By positioning the motor controller module and the battery management module above the first height, more of the weight may be at a higher position, which may enable a user to maintain a more upright posture during use, which may improve ergonomics of the backpack power equipment disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method of reporting differences between a plurality of computing cluster configurations for executing containerized software applications may comprise routinely retrieving, at preset time intervals, cluster configuration files stored at computing clusters for configuring the computing clusters for execution of a containerized software application, receiving a user selection of a first cluster configuration file and a second cluster configuration file within the stored cluster configuration files, and comparing the first cluster configuration file and the second cluster configuration file.

Abstract: A circuit portion receives, at a synchroniser, a signal clocked at a first frequency and outputs a synchronised signal clocked at a second frequency to a bounce-rejection circuit portion. The bounce-rejection circuit portion operates on a plurality of successive samples of the synchronised signal and outputs an output signal. The bounce-rejection circuit portion: changes the output signal from a first value to a second value if a proportion of said plurality of successive samples having said second value is determined to meet a threshold, the threshold being greater than 50% of the plurality of successive samples; otherwise, it maintains the output signal at the first value.
