20080294996CUSTOMIZED RETAILER PORTAL WITHIN AN ANALYTIC PLATFORM - The methods and systems disclosed herein include an analytic platform, with a customized retailer portal application, that may be used to perform data projection and release methodologies in order to create an integrated, flexible, actionable view of data such as data relating to consumers, consumer behavior, commodity sales, and other commercial activities like those pertaining to relationships between consumers and stores.11-27-2008
20090006156ASSOCIATING A GRANTING MATRIX WITH AN ANALYTIC PLATFORM - Systems and methods presented may involve specifying an availability condition associated with a component of an analytic platform. It may involve storing the availability condition in a matrix. It may involve using the matrix to determine access to the component of the analytic platform.01-01-2009
20090018996CROSS-CATEGORY VIEW OF A DATASET USING AN ANALYTIC PLATFORM - In embodiments, systems and methods may involve using a platform as disclosed herein for applications described herein where the systems and methods involve receiving a dataset in an analytic platform, the dataset including fact data and dimension data for a plurality of distinct product categories. It may also involve storing the data in a flexible hierarchy, the hierarchy allowing the temporary fixing of data along a dimension and flexible querying along other dimensions of the data. It may also involve pre-aggregating certain combinations of data to facilitate rapid querying, the pre-aggregation based on the nature of common queries. It may also involve facilitating the presentation of a cross-category view of an analytic query of the dataset. In embodiments, the temporarily fixed dimension can be rendered flexible upon an action by the user.01-15-2009

20110115453NONLINEAR CONTROL LOOP FOR DC-DC CONVERTERS - A nonlinear converter, such as a DC-DC converter, includes a nonlinear controller configured to receive an output voltage and a current, and configured to generate a PWM signal. The PWM signal is generated based on setting the converter to a first phase associated with both buck and boost modes when a clock signal is asserted, and selecting a second phase associated with the buck mode of the converter, if a sliding function signal achieves a first predetermined relationship with respect to a buck threshold before a next clock signal is asserted, or selecting a third phase associated with the boost mode of the converter, if the sliding function signal achieves a second predetermined relationship with respect to a boost threshold before a next clock signal is asserted. The nonlinear converter may include a power stage configured to provide the output voltage and a coil current to the nonlinear controller.05-19-2011
20110210707PULSE MODULATION CONTROL IN A DC-DC CONVERTER CIRCUIT - In a device, a pulse modulation switching logic is provided to generate switching signals of a pulse modulator so as to generate a pulse modulated signal with a first pulse modulation control parameter and a second pulse modulation control parameter. The first pulse modulation control parameter is controlled on the basis of a first control signal, and the second pulse modulation control parameter is controlled on the basis of a second control signal. A first control loop is provided to generate the first control signal from an output signal derived from the pulse modulated signal. A second control loop is provided to generate the second control signal on the basis of the output signal. The first and second control signals are applied to concurrently control the first and second pulse modulation control parameters.09-01-2011
