TL;DR: In this article, a power control circuit to minimize power consumption of CMOS circuits by disabling/enabling the clock input to the CMOS circuit is presented, where the clock signal is provided to the component when it is desirable to power on the circuit.
Abstract: A power control circuit to minimize power consumption of CMOS circuits by disabling/enabling the clock input to the CMOS circuit. A phase locked loop (PLL) or delay locked loop (DLL) drives a capacitive load of the component and a dummy load comparable to the component load. A standby latch is provided to control the clock input to the component. In a standby state, the clock signal is not provided to the component but the PLL/DLL continues to operate, driving the dummy load. Thus, when it is desirable to power on the circuit, the standby latch is reset and the clock signal is provided to the component, thereby turning on the component with little latency.
TL;DR: In this article, a component is deployed to an application server of a first system and a component load tool in the second system generates application tables based on the identified database table structures in the shipment package.
Abstract: Optional components are delivered to a software platform as a database load. A component is deployed to an application server of a first system. The component comprises at least a portion of the software to be delivered as a database load to a second system that implements the software platform. A component export tool in the first system identifies database table structures and database table entries created by the deployment of the component. The component export tool generates a load delivery package based on the identified database table structures and database table entries and then exports the load delivery package to the second system. A component load tool in the second system generates application tables based on the identified database table structures in the shipment package. The database table entries are then imported into the generated application packages in the load delivery package so that the component can be loaded into the software platform. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
TL;DR: In this article, a physically meaningful procedure for hourly load forecasting is proposed, in which the total load is decomposed into a nominal load, a residual load and a part which reflects the known changes in the load.
Abstract: Emphasis is placed on devising a physically meaningful procedure for hourly load forecasting. It is proposed that accurate forecasting depends on the use of both weather information and historical patterns. In order to efficiently use this information the total load is decomposed into a nominal load, a residual load and a part which reflects the known changes in the load. The forecast is made by forecasting each component load separately. Alternative procedures based on this decomposition are developed and results from a test case study are presented.
TL;DR: A more direct reliability model for the load-sharing system based on the generalized load-strength model is developed, which utilizes the load distribution variation and strength damage after component failures to directly reflect theload-sharing effect, which can avoid measuring the failure rate.
TL;DR: This paper presents a two-component load-sharing system that is time dependent and load dependent, and three maintenance policies are proposed considering imperfect preventive maintenance and system replacement.
