20150270703	Methods and Circuits for Reverse Battery Protection - A circuit is configured for providing reverse battery protection. The circuit includes a load driver circuit having at least a first half-bridge circuit with topside and bottomside transistors coupled at a midpoint node by a first current terminal of both the topside and bottomside transistors. A second current terminal of the bottomside transistor is coupled to a voltage common node. The circuit also includes: a reverse battery protection transistor having a first current terminal coupled to a battery supply node and a second current terminal coupled to a second current terminal of the topside transistor; a bootstrap capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a the midpoint node between the topside and bottomside transistors of the first half-bridge circuit; and a diode having an anode coupled to a second terminal of the bootstrap capacitor and a cathode coupled to a control terminal of the reverse battery protection transistor.	09-24-2015

20140279956	SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LOCATING REDUNDANT DATA USING PATTERNS OF MATCHING FINGERPRINTS - A system configured to compute match potential between first data and second data is provided. The system includes data storage storing the first data and the second data, and at least one processor coupled to the data storage. The at least one processor is configured to identify a first sequence of fingerprints characterizing a first plurality of sections of the first data, the first sequence being ordered according to an order of the first plurality of sections within the first data; identify a second sequence of fingerprints comprising fingerprints that match fingerprints within the first sequence, the second sequence of fingerprints characterizing a second plurality of sections of the second data, the second sequence being ordered according to an order of the second plurality of sections within the second data; quantify a similarity between the first sequence and the second sequence; and adjust the match potential based on the similarity.	09-18-2014

20090153093	METHOD AND CONTROLLER FOR DETECTING A STALL CONDITION IN A STEPPING MOTOR DURING MICRO-STEPPING - A method is provided for detecting a stall condition in a stepping motor. The stepping motor has two coils and a rotor, and is micro-stepped by substantially continuously driving both of the two coils with out-of-phase time varying voltages. The method includes stepping the stepping motor to a next micro-step. It is then determined when a predetermined motor parameter of a first coil of the two coils is to be sampled. To sample the predetermined motor parameter of, for example, the first coil, the first coil is opened for a predetermined period, wherein the predetermined period is less than or equal to a micro-step. Then the first coil is sampled during the predetermined period and the result of sampling is integrated and used to increment or decrement an accumulated value. If the accumulated value is less than a preset value, then a stall condition exists.	06-18-2009
