  • Control module for a driver for an electrical load
    Patent number: 12376215
    Abstract: A lighting control system for controlling a cumulative light emitted by a lighting fixture may comprise a light-emitting diode (LED) driver comprising an output for conducting an output current, and a control module electrically coupled to the output of the LED driver for receiving the output current. The LED driver may regulate the magnitude of the output current towards a target current, and may be characterized by a low-end intensity. The control module may be coupled to a first LED light source of the LED light sources. The control module may receive a command including a requested intensity and control the magnitude of a first LED current through the first LED light source. The control module may control the cumulative light output of the lighting fixture below the low-end intensity of the LED driver by diverting a portion of the output current away from the first LED light source.

  • Host polling of a network adapter
    Patent number: 12375380
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a host that polls a network adapter to receive data from a network. That is, the host/CPU/application thread polls the network adapter (e.g., the network card, NIC, or SmartNIC) to determine whether a packet has been received. If so, the host informs the network adapter to store the packet (or a portion of the packet) in a CPU register. If the requested data has not yet been received by the network adapter from the network, the network adapter can delay the responding to the request to provide extra time for the adapter to receive the data from the network.

  • Method and system for model-based temperature estimation of an ultrasonic instrument
    Patent number: 12369938
    Abstract: A method performed by a surgical system that includes an ultrasonic instrument with an end effector. The method determines a change in resonance frequency of the end effector while the ultrasonic instrument is either in 1) a high-power state in which the ultrasonic instrument draws a first current to cause the end effector to produce heat or 2) a low-power state in which the ultrasonic instrument draws a second current, which is less than the first current that does not cause the end effector to produce heat. The method determines a temperature of the end effector by applying the change in resonance frequency to a hysteresis model that includes a hysteretic relationship between changes in resonance frequency of the end effector and corresponding temperatures of the end effector, and outputs a notification based on the temperature.
