  • Publication number: 20170230495
    Abstract: The present invention relates to system (100) and method for providing ultra-quick audio/video messaging phonebook and delivery. The system (100) includes an application server communicating with one or more communication devices (D1, D2), each device having an application installed therein. The application configures a device to display all contacts including registered and unregistered contacts available in memory (401) of the device. When a user selects and holds a contact, application initiates a short duration audio/video message recording for the selected contact (403) and detects whether the selected contact is a registered or an unregistered contact number of the application (4040). If the selected contact is recognized as a registered contact, the application automatically transmits the recorded message to the selected contact via the application server upon release of hold to contact (406).

  • Publication number: 20170214684
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing communication based on predefined authenticated configuration. The system includes a contextual scanning reader device providing a mechanism of automatic pre-authentication of user identity without requiring user to enter login ID and password. When an action is triggered on reader device upon scanning a machine readable code (such barcode, virtual symbol, NFC/RFID tag etc.), it recognizes digitally encoded data using a reader/scanner. The decoded information is identified and associated with plurality of third party servers for service related information. This decoded information is supplemented with user contextual information such as identity, location, preferences or any other related information to make it a complete or better context for a third party service pre-authentication. Once the user is pre-authenticated with this information it is transmitted to the third party server.

  • Patent number: 9641077
    Abstract: Reliability of a buck power stage may be enhanced by extending the maximum input voltage able to be withstood in the disabled (non-switching) state. During device qualification/testing, a power management unit (PMU) in the disabled state may have its input node subjected to greater than a maximum input voltage permitted for reliability (Vmax). Under such conditions, a force voltage (Vforce) may be selectively applied to the PMU switching node in the disabled state. For a given input voltage (VIN), this reduces voltage across the non-switching transistors of the power stage (and hence the resulting stress) to below Vmax. In certain embodiments, the Vforce applied to the switching node is of a fixed magnitude. In other embodiments, the Vforce applied to the switching node is of a magnitude varying with input voltage. Embodiments may be particularly suited to implement power management for a System-On-Chip (SoC).

  • Patent number: 9627962
    Abstract: A fast blocking switch includes, for example, an energy storage device, a first power switch and a second power switch. The energy storage device stores a charge for fast activation of the switches. The first switch is operable for coupling input current to an output terminal in response to the coupling of a potential supplied by the stored charge to a control terminal of the first switch. The second switch is operable for coupling a limited amount of the input current to the output terminal in response to the coupling of a potential supplied by the stored charge to a control terminal of the second switch.

  • Patent number: 9548739
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cascode configuration that moves the gate of the cascode substantially without delay relative to an output node by capacitively coupling the latter onto the cascode gates. The passive coupling eliminates the need for actively driving the gates of the cascode. In some embodiments, the only circuitry needed on the cascode gate may be a biasing circuit that limits the swing on the cascode gate between Vmax and 2×Vmax, where Vmax is a transistor device rating.

  • Publication number: 20170004188
    Abstract: A computing device obtains and analyzes the log entries of a log file, and generates an interactive graph that visually represents the results of the analysis to output to a display device. More particularly, the device groups each log entry in the log file into a corresponding pattern, and then generates the graph to plot the line numbers of the log entries to their corresponding patterns. The plot is formed as a wave to make it easy for a user to identify patterns of commands and actions that are executed in the performance of a given task, as well as for determining whether an underlying system is exhibiting anomalous behavior.

  • Publication number: 20160355610
    Abstract: An integrated process for the recovery of a spectrum of commercially valuable products such as agar, cellulose, lipids, pigments and a liquid rich in minerals of agricultural importance directly from fresh seaweed without employing any catalyst driven in situ chemical conversions. Also solvents used during lipid extraction were shown to be used for three cycles without affecting the yield and quality of successive products. Furthermore, this new process is highly efficient and utilizes total seaweed raw material without any leftover biomass as solid waste.

  • Publication number: 20160209299
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for target particle separation and isolation are disclosed. The apparatuses are flow chambers that include an infusion port configured to introduce a sample, and an elution flow port configured to receive an elution buffer. The flow chamber also includes an electrode coupled to a floor of the flow chamber, wherein the electrode includes at least a first zone with a first inter-electrode pitch and a second zone with a second inter-electrode pitch. The first zone generates a first electric field and the second zone generates a second electric field of a different magnitude than the first electric field when an electric signal is applied. The first electric field and the second electric field separate the target particle from the fluidic suspension via dielectrophoresis. The flow chamber also includes a waste disposal port that discharges the waste material, and a collection port configured that collects a target particle enriched sample.
