    Abstract: A power supply can include a bulk capacitor that receives a DC bus voltage; one or more DC-DC converters that convert the DC bus voltage to a DC output voltage; an inrush current limiting circuit that includes a resistor coupled in series with the bulk capacitor so as to limit an inrush current to the bulk capacitor; and a solid-state switching device that selectively bypasses the resistor once the bulk capacitor is charged; and control circuitry that operates the solid-state switching device to selectively bypass the resistor once the bulk capacitor is charged. The inrush current limiting circuit can further include a relay responsive to the control circuitry that selectively bypasses the resistor under high load conditions once the bulk capacitor is charged; and the control circuitry can further operate the solid-state switching device to selectively bypass the resistor once the bulk capacitor is charged under low load conditions.

  • Publication number: 20240330124
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for configuring data recovery. A method includes decoding, by at least one hardware processor, a request to recover historical table data. The request is received from an account of a data provider. The historical table data includes a plurality of partition files. Each of the plurality of partition files includes a deleted file designation. Based on the request, a recovery process of the plurality of partition files is performed to obtain recovered partition files. A schema associated with the historical table data is retrieved. Metadata corresponding to the retrieved schema is generated. The metadata is associated with the recovered partition files to recover the historical table data.
