Abstract: Systems and methods for building a trusted network of devices with intrusion detection system (IDS) using blockchain IoT (BIoT) technology are provided. The method includes registering an IoT device on a plurality of blockchain network channels. The plurality of blockchain network channels include an authentication channel, data channel, remote channel, and security channel connected to corresponding servers to perform dedicated operations such as device authentication, data management, remote operation/access control, and intrusion detection. On successful authentication, the IoT device is allowed to access, store and retrieve data stored on the blockchain. The blockchain ledger is updated after each data transaction and a new wallet identity or encrypted keys for the IoT device are issued after each transaction.

Abstract: An amount of charge transferred by a power converter is estimated by developing a signal that is a combination of signals representing an output voltage of a power converter and an inductor current of the power converter, charging a capacitor with a current proportional to that signal and comparing a voltage developed across the capacitor due to that charging to develop a signal for initiating a pulse to control input of power from a voltage source to the power converter. By using a signal developed in this way, response to both step-up and step-down transients can be improved and, in multi-phase embodiments, ripple cancellation problems such as noise susceptibility and loss of pulse generation can be entirely avoided.

Abstract: Response of a variable frequency switching constant on-time or adaptive on-time controlled power converter to a large step-up or step-down change in load is improved with a simple circuit that detects magnitude and polarity of a change in output voltage and initiates, extends or terminates conduction of power pulses from an input source through said power converter. Both the amplitude and duration of undershoot or overshoot of the transient response are reduced or, alternatively, the capacitance of an output filter may be significantly reduced and still provide comparable transient performance. The fast adaptive on-time control is applicable to multi-phase power converters using phase managers or one or more phase-locked loops for interleaving of power pulses.
