Abstract: Embodiments described herein describe a power supply configured to provide power to an output load via a power supply transformer. The power supply includes a controller configured to operate in a configuration state and an operating state. During the configuration state, the controller receives a configuration signal from a sense circuit coupled to the controller and selects one of a plurality of operating modes from the configuration signal. During the operating state, the controller controls a switch coupled to the transformer based on the selected operating mode and a sense signal received from the sense circuit representative of the power provided to the output load by the power supply. When the switch is closed, current flows from a power source through the transformer, and when the switch is open, current is prevented from flowing from the power source through the transformer.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for workload management for an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) system. A priority of each workload in a set of workloads is determined using a priority rule. In response to determining that the priority of a workload to be checked has a highest priority, it is indicated that the workload has the highest priority. It is determined whether at least one logical resource representing an ETL metric is available for executing the workload. In response to determining that the workload has the highest priority and that the at least one logical resource is available, it is determined that the workload is runnable.

Abstract: A method and system virtualizes bandwidth. The system may include multiple communication interfaces to communicate across a hybrid network containing multiple networks of different types, technologies, protocols, topologies, or other network characteristics. The system may aggregate the bandwidth of the multiple communication interfaces into an aggregated virtualized bandwidth. When a bandwidth request is received, the system may determine a bandwidth allocation across the aggregated virtualized bandwidth. The system may also determine a communication resource allocation for the bandwidth allocation, which may assign any number of the communication interfaces. The system may then communicate application data across the allocated bandwidth.

Abstract: An IP multimedia gateway (IMG) receives content sharing service profiles generated by a service manager for communication devices that are coupled to the IMG. Content and/or content information that is received for communication to a first device, is communicated to other devices in response to a request. Content sharing profiles comprise permissions, group members, user preferences, device capabilities and security profiles. Content streams communicated to the first device may be shared with a second device based on the profiles. The second device may share additional streams with the first device. The first device or other devices may communicate the request. The content may be received from a service manager network device. The IMG and a communication device that may display the content may be integrated in a set-top-box or digital TV. Login access is enabled to devices for requesting content. Cooperation with other IMGs may enable discovery and/or content communication.

Abstract: A switching power converter provides regulated voltage to a load according to a desired regulation voltage. The switching power converter includes a transformer coupled to a switch and a switch controller for generating a control signal to control switching.
