  • Publication number: 20170346313
    Abstract: A switching power converter is provided that communicates with a mobile device to receive a value of a load detection current. The switching power converter adjusts the cycling of a power switch until a constant current mode of operation is entered with a known output current driving the mobile device. The switching power converter subtracts the load current from the output current to measure a soft-short circuit current.

  • Patent number: 9805326
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide task management capabilities for designing a complex data integration workflow in an integrated design environment (IDE). A task management tool of the IDE allows a developer to tag various stages of a data integration workflow in a non-linear manner. When the task management tool receives a tag for a given stage, the task management tool identifies incomplete tasks associated with the stage and generates a task list that includes the incomplete tasks. The developer may return to completing any of the tasks in the workflow in any sequence as desired.
