  • Publication number: 20240154611
    Abstract: A technique for powering gate drivers in a half-bridge configuration uses a single external power supply to power each gate driver. A single on-chip regulator regulates the positive turn-on voltage for each switch. The regulator overhead, is also used as the negative voltage for turn-off, thus transferring the low-frequency variation of the external power supply to the negative turn-off voltage. Accordingly, a single on-chip regulator generates both the positive turn-on voltage and the negative turn-off voltage. In at least one embodiment, reuse of the switch turn-off current further reduces on-chip power dissipation. The on-chip regulator's output filter capacitor discharges during turn-on of the external power switching device. During turn-off, the current that discharges the switch gate capacitance recharges the regulator filter capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20230370435
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for processing QUIC communications in a network. An example system includes a first network interface for receiving a QUIC connection request from a first node in the network and, in response, establishing a first QUIC connection between the first node and the system. The system includes a QUIC processing module configured for receiving, via the first QUIC connection, encrypted QUIC data including a number of streams and decrypting the encrypted QUIC data, resulting in decrypted QUIC data. The QUIC processing module is configured for extracting each of the streams from the decrypted QUIC data, resulting in a plurality of extracted streams, and packaging at least one of the extracted streams into a non-QUIC protocol format, resulting in at least one packaged stream. The system includes a second network interface for transmitting the packaged stream to a second node in the network.

  • Publication number: 20230013768
    Abstract: A system comprises a machine that is configured to act upon requests from a user and sensing means for sensing an operational-mode dialog stream from the user for the machine. The system also comprises a computing system that is configured to train a neural network through machine learning to output, for each training example in a training dialog stream dataset, a corrected request for the machine. The computing system is also configure to, in an operational mode, using the trained neural network, generate a corrected, operational-mode request for the machine based on the operational-mode dialog stream from the user for the machine, wherein the operational-mode dialog stream is sensed by the sensing means.

  • Patent number: 9253242
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for assigning separate dedicated bearers for separate audio and video streams in a test simulation environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes generating dedicated bearer information associated with each of a dedicated audio bearer and a dedicated video bearer to be used for a communication session and providing the dedicated bearer information to a simulation device. The method further includes, from the simulation device, using the dedicated bearer information to negotiate establishment of the dedicated audio bearer and the dedicated video bearer between the simulation device and a system under test (SUT) and sending simulated traffic data to the SUT over the dedicated audio bearer and the dedicated video bearer in accordance with a mapping based on the dedicated bearer information and identifiers included in the simulated traffic.
