  • Patent number: 11575494
    Abstract: A system includes a first device and a second device coupled to a link having one or more paths associated with transmitting a clock signal. The first device is to transmit a set of bits associated with a pattern via the one more paths. The set of bits are transmitted using a first clock signal having a first frequency less than a second frequency associated with data transmission operations. The second device is to receive the set of bits associated with the pattern, determine a number of pulses associated with the set of bits over a first period, and determine the number of pulses, associated with the set of bits, satisfies a predetermined condition relating to the number of pulses for the first period. The second device is to initiate a training of the link in response to determining the number of pulses satisfies the predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 10432008
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method of charging a battery. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving, in a battery charging circuit on an electronic device, an input voltage having a first voltage value from an external power source. The battery charger is configured to produce a charge current having a first current value into the battery. The input current limit and/or duty cycle of the charger is monitored. Control signals may be generated to increase the first voltage value of the input voltage if either (i) the input current limit is activated or (ii) the duty cycle reaches a maximum duty cycle. The charger also receives signals indicating a temperature inside the electronic device and generates control signals to decrease the value of the input voltage when the temperature increases above a threshold temperature.

  • Patent number: 10089700
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for viewing a contact network feed in a business directory environment. A system searches, based on a user specified search, a business directory to determine contacts, identifies network feeds associated with the contacts, and outputs the network feeds. For example, the system outputs network feeds from data center managers identified by the business directory. The system filters, based on a user specified filter, the network feeds to determine filtered network feeds, and outputs the filtered network feeds to a display device. For example, the system outputs the network feeds from data center managers that mention a specific product. The system can enable communication with a contact using contact information from the business directory. The system can subscribe a user to the network feed of a contact, wherein the user receives updates for the network feed of the contact via a feed to a display device.
