An adaptive switch mode LED driver provides an intelligent approach to driving multiple strings of LEDs. The LED driver determines an optimal current level for each LED channel from a limited set of allowed currents. The LDO driver then determines a PWM duty cycle for driving the LEDs in each LED channel to provide precise brightness control over the LED channels. Beneficially, the LED driver minimizes the power dissipation in the LDO circuits driving each LED string, while also ensuring that the currents in each LED string are maintained within a limited range. A sample and hold LDO allows PWM control over extreme duty cycles with very fast dynamic response. Furthermore, fault protection circuitry ensures fault-free startup and operation of the LED driver.

A method monitors non-faulty application traces of a computer application with the runtime environment during fault-free activities to create non-faulty runtime signatures for the computer application. Once obtained, the method stores the non-faulty runtime signatures.

Then the invention outputs the fault attributes to allow the user to identify a fault cause.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for diagnosing a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine. In order to make possible a differentiation of the fault with respect to individual components of the fuel supply system, a method is suggested which is characterized by the following steps: recording the trace of the fuel pressure in the fuel supply system (2); forming the frequency spectrum of the fuel supply trace (3); and, analyzing the frequency spectrum (4).

At least one pressure differential may be determined between an intake-manifold pressure or an ambient pressure, on the one hand, and a pressure in the ventilation duct, on the other hand. A fault in the ventilation may be diagnosed as a function of the at least one pressure differential.

The present invention is a system and method to improve the reliability and performance of existing enterprise IP networks which have dual-homed (or multi-homed) network architectures. In one aspect of the invention packets related to a selected category of transmission (e.g., VoIP) are duplicated at an edge router and sent over both (multiple) service providers. After traversing the service provider networks, only the first-to-arrive packets are kept and the later-arriving copies are discarded. In so doing, the result is better protection against node failures, link failures, and packet errors, and also better QoS performance under normal (fault-free) operation.

A data storage methodology wherein fault tolerance is accomplished by generation of multiple canonical names for each primary manager active in the data storage system and then balancing the primary manager's failure-induced workload across the multiple backup managers using the canonical names. A qualified name for each backup manager is derived from a canonical name assigned to the primary manager. During fault-free state of operation, all the qualified names are assigned to the primary manager, which serves all its qualified names. When that primary manager fails, the work it was supporting is distributed among its backup managers using the qualified names for those backups. The distribution of primary manager's workload among multiple backups eliminates the severe performance bottlenecks present in the traditional approach of keeping one backup manager for a primary manager and keeping that backup manager idle during the fault-free state of its primary manager.

An image display unit (1) with a front frame (2) and with a sensor device (6) provided with a sensor (9). The sensor (9) is provided for detecting the luminance and / or the color location of an image that displayed on a display (7) of the image display unit (1).

A simulator simulates routing system protocols to build routing tables corresponding to a modeled network, and a comparator compares the routing tables in the actual network to these simulator-created routing tables. Because the modeled system represents a fault-free version of the actual system, and assuming that the modeled routing system protocols are representative of the algorithms used in the actual routers, these simulator-produced routing tables will represent the ‘ideal’ routing tables that should be present in the routers of the actual network. By querying each router in the actual network for its routing table and comparing each routing table to the corresponding simulator-produced routing table, any differences from the ‘ideal’ can be identified.

Methods, systems, apparatus and devices to provide autonomous self-repair for programmable logic. Using Competitive Runtime Reconfiguration, an initial population of functionally identical, yet physically distinct individual programmable logic configurations are produced at design time. During operation, individuals compete for selection based on a fitness function favoring fault-free behavior and any physical resource exhibiting an operationally-significant fault decreases the fitness of those configurations which use it. Through runtime competition, the presence of the fault becomes occluded from the visibility of subsequent operations. Offspring formed through crossover and mutation of faulty and viable configurations are reintroduced into the population to enable evolution of a customized fault-specific repair, realized as new configurations using normal throughput processing operations. In an embodiment, the error detection circuit is also checked for errors.

The invention relates to a design method for stacking Ethernet devices. In an annular-structure stack system, on the basis of the thought of link integration, all the stack ports in two directions of a stack unit are added to the same stack aggregation group; the destination of messages which are sent to the other stack unit is set to be the stack aggregation group; and then, a stack port is found out from a port mapping table of the stack aggregation group according to the hash values of the messages so as to forward the messages from this port. When a stack link at some part fails, the stack system only needs to modify the configuration of two stack units which are next to the fault and remove the failed port from the stack aggregation group so as to prevent the messages from being forwarded from the failed port and forward the messages from other fault-free ports. Because other stack units of the stack system do not need to sense the fault, the method restricts the influence of the failed stack port on the entire stack system, and enables the fault of the stack system to be repaired quickly.
