Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090168274METHOD AND SYSTEM OF PROVIDING OVERLOAD AND SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION FOR SWITCHED MODE POWER SUPPLY - A method of providing overload and short-circuit protection for a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). The method may rely upon sensing a temperature change rate for a component of the SMPS and implementing a protection scheme when the temperature change rate exceeds a desired temperature change rate. The implementation scheme may include permanently or temporarily shutting-off the component.07-02-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090292908Method and arrangements for multipath instruction processing - A system is disclosed that includes a fetch stage to retrieve an instruction to be utilized by processing units in a multi-path pipeline. The instruction can have selectors that can select functions to be performed by individual paths of the pipeline that can accept and utilize the same instruction. A first processing unit in a first path can execute a part of the retrieved instruction in response to the function selector, and a second processing unit can execute a part of the retrieved instruction in response to the function selector. Other embodiments are also disclosed.11-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090160366Method for Setting an Electronic Ballast - Method for setting an electronic ballast, with which an electric lamp is operated which comprises programming first settings of at least one operational parameter of at least one first lamp type into the electronic ballast, setting and operating an electric lamp, which is connected to the electronic ballast, with the programmed first settings as long as a normal operating mode of the electronic ballast is set, changing the first settings of the operational parameters during a secondary operating mode of the electronic ballast, the secondary operating mode of the electronic ballast being set when the electronic ballast identifies a value for the resistance of a lamp filament and/or a substitute load of the electric lamp connected to the electronic ballast which is untypical in comparison with the normal operating mode, the change to the first settings being carried out depending on the identified untypical value for the corresponding resistance.06-25-2009
