Semiconductor driver circuit and power conversion device
ActiveUS20130265029A1Increase environmental burdenImproved power performanceSolid-state devicesDc-dc conversionCross overGate driver
In a power conversion device provided with a power semiconductor device and a semiconductor driver circuit for driving the power semiconductor device, false firing can be prevented, and improvement in reliability can be achieved. The power conversion device is provided with: a first switch element inserted between a power supply voltage and an output node; a second switch element inserted between a ground power supply voltage and the output node; and a gate driver circuit for controlling turning ON / OFF of the second switch element. When the second switch element is controlled to be turned OFF, the gate driver circuit drives a gate-source voltage at, for example, a level of 0 V. However, when the first switch element is shifted from an OFF state to an ON state at a first timing in a state that the gate-source voltage is driven at, for example, the level of 0 V, the gate driver circuit temporarily applies a level of a negative voltage as the gate-source voltage during a first period which crosses over the first timing.

Authentication system and method
ActiveUS7424611B2Reduce riskSimple structureUser identity/authority verificationDigital data authenticationOne-way functionAuthentication system
Preventing malicious code from reading an authenticator and being falsely authenticated using the read authenticator. Authenticator accepting period detection means detects an authenticator accepting period during which inoperativeness of all unauthenticated programs is guaranteed. Program executing means transmits its authenticator only during the authenticator accepting period. After authentication means is authenticated as genuine, the authentication means computes a one-way function value of the authenticator received from the program executing means and compares the one-way function value X with a stored value Y for the program executing means. If X=Y, then the authentication means authenticates the program executing means.

Venue Prediction Based on Ranking
ActiveUS20130325855A1Increase in significanceDigital data processing detailsRelational databasesGeolocationSocial network service
A technique is disclosed for presenting possible check-in venues to a mobile device user, such as for the purpose of checking in with social networking services such as Foursquare. The disclosed technique operates by training a model during an initial training sequence. The trained model, representing a learned hypothesis, describes venues that are ranked according to their relevance to users who are also described by the model. During a subsequent run-time sequence, the system receives real-time geolocation data that represents users, wherein the data includes user geolocation and the level of accuracy of the geolocation. The system generates a set of candidate venues, ranks the generated candidate venues by applying the learned hypothesis, which can be dependent on the level of accuracy, and presents the user with the ranked venues as possible check-in venues. The user can then select the venue actually being checked into from the presented check-in venues.
