Patent number: 11153669Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Laurel Clark, Clyde David Cooper, III, Andrew Dugan

Publication number: 20210226704Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for an optical domain controller for managing and maintaining a record of network component configuration and interconnections. The optical domain controller detects changes in a configuration of optical network elements in response to a requested service from the network, coordinates additional changes in configurations to optical network elements that may be affected by the detected change, communicates with the optical network elements to incorporate the changes to the configurations of the network element, and stores the configurations and states of the network elements. The use of the optical domain controller may thus replace or supplement a database storing network configuration information by automatically managing changes to the network as new services are instantiated directly on the optical network elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: William Feight, Tara Joseph-Labrie, James M. Adkins, III, Clyde David Cooper, III

Patent number: 11070460Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems for providing multiple egress routes from a telecommunications network for a client of the network. In general, the system provides for a client of the network to receive intended packets of information through multiple connections to the network such that load balancing and failover services for traffic to the customer are provided. The process and system allows for telecommunications network to utilize a common next-hop value of announced border gateway protocol (BGP) routes to advertise multiple routes to reach a destination customer network or address. By utilizing a common next-hop value in the announced BGP information, the devices of the network may load balance communication packets to the destination customer or address among the multiple egress locations from the network, as well as providing fast failover to alternate routes when a failure at the network or customer occurs.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Francis Ferguson, Eric Osborne, Clyde David Cooper, III, Brent W.

Publication number: 20210166081Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to the optical identification of telecommunications equipment. In examples, a user interacts with an application to capture image data relating to a device according to instructions presented to the user. The application may further generate metadata, such as user responses to one or more questions. The image data and/or metadata are evaluated using a machine learning model to generate an equipment classification for devices pictured therein. The data may also be used to generate an equipment configuration for the device, as well as an operational state (e.g., based on one or more indicators present on the device, log data, etc.). Accordingly, such information may be used to update a pre-existing inventory record for the device, or generate a new inventory record. In other examples, such information is used to generate one or more predicted issues and associated actions to troubleshoot the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2020Publication date: June 3, 2021Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Jeffrey K.

Patent number: 11016746Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for remote management of mobile satellite antenna modules having an antenna subsystem module (ASM). An ASM periodically transmits a check-in message and metrics data to a server. The server analyzes the check-in message and metrics data to determine a state of operation of the antenna, and determine one or more management commands to improve the performance of the ASM. Information in the metrics data received from each ASM can be queried and processed using machine learning to determine correlation between attributes of the ASMs and performance of the ASMs.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: KYMETA CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Klassen, Ron Radko, Jonas Nicholson, Kevin KleinOsowski, Taylor Stokes, David Cooper, Greg Eigsti

Patent number: 10983746Abstract: A method of generating display data at a display control device for display on a movable display involves receiving and storing a current frame of display data from a host device. The current frame is then processed and output for display on the movable display. Sensor data from sensors associated with the movable display is received and stored, the sensor data indicating movement and/or position of the movable display. If it is determined that a next frame of display data is not ready at the display control device for processing and outputting to the movable display at a required time, then an estimated next frame of display data is generated using the stored current frame and the stored sensor data and the estimated frame of display data is output for display on the movable display. The sensor data may be received either before or after the current frame is received, stored, processed or output.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: DISPLAYLINK (UK) LIMITEDInventors: Ian Christopher Doidge, Patrick David Cooper

Patent number: 10926184Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing a game application are disclosed. While the game application is executed in a gameplay session, embodiment of the systems and methods can acquire data associated with the game application. The data acquired during the gameplay session may be associated with a session identifier. Different types of data (such as telemetry data and video data) can be linked together using the timestamps of the gameplay session. A user can choose a timestamp of the gameplay session to view the data associated with that timestamp. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods can associate an event with one or more timestamps. When a user chooses the event, the systems and methods can automatically display event data starting from the beginning of the event.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.Inventors: Alexander Brian Marshall Lucas, Matthew Frederick Church, Curtis Aaron Onuczko, Jonathan David Cooper, Michelle Daphne Naylor, Tulay Tetiker McNally, Gavin Vankosky

Publication number: 20200409133Abstract: A laser beam delivery apparatus for a microscope comprises first and second optical diffusers that are configured to move in a periodic manner with a respective different frequency. Each optical diffuser may comprise a spinning disk. The laser light is spatially randomized by the first spinning diffuser and its spatial pattern is further randomized by the second diffuser. The second diffuser prevents any spatial pattern from repeating after one revolution of the first diffuser, which prevents beating patterns from forming when the light is imaged through a spinning confocal disk and increases the uniformity in other cases.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventor: David Cooper
