A power supply includes a charging circuit, a pre-ionization circuit, and a solid state switching circuit having an output coupled to the magnetic core. The power supply is configured to isolate the charging circuit from the power delivery section and to generate a pre-ionization pulse through inductive coupling that causes ionization of gas in the plasma generation region. The solid state switching circuit is configured to discharge a capacitance through inductive coupling to form a plasma in the plasma generation region.

  • Publication number: 20250080469
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for Stream Classification Service (SCS) policy validation for downlink and uplink traffic. A network device receives an SCS request from an associated STA, which specifies one or more sets of TCLAS information for a data flow transmitted between the network device and the STA, each set of TCLAS information being accompanied by associated QoS profile information for the data flow. The network device compares the sets of TCLAS information and associated QoS profile information with one or more cached application profiles, and determines that there is no match. In response to the determination, the network device performs packet analysis and confirms that the sets of TCLAS information and associated QoS profile information align with the type of service of the data flow under defined network polices. In response to the confirmation, the network device applies one or more treatments to the data flow.
