Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide a unified digital content discovery framework that implements a combination of a logistic loss function and a pair-wise loss function for information retrieval. The logistic loss function reduces non-relevant images from appearing in the retrieved results, while the pair-wise loss function ensures that the highest-quality content is included in such results.

Abstract: A D-mode GaN transistor synchronous rectifier of the present invention includes a power switching module, a peak detection module, and a gate driver module. The peak detection module stores energy when the negative end of the secondary side winding of the power converter is at a high voltage. The power switching module includes a first switch and a D-mode GaN HEMT as a second switch connected in series. The energy is provided to the module gate of the power switching module through the gate driver module to keep the first switch turned on. The gate driver module conducts the module gate and the module source when the positive end of the secondary side winding is at a low voltage, such that a clamp circuit pulls the gate-source voltage of the second switch below threshold and turns it off. The synchronous rectifier replaces conventional diode rectifier, having lower conduction loss and response ringing.

The computing device receives an over the air (OTA) update of a firmware of the computing device, where the OTA update is to be applied by the computing device responsive to detecting the idle device state of the computing device. The computing device identifies a device state of the computing device and determines whether the device state satisfies the one or more idle state conditions. Responsive to determining that the first device state of the computing device satisfies the one or more idle state conditions, the computing device applies the OTA update of the firmware to the computing device.
