Publication number: 20240126038Abstract: A panel system includes a chassis holding one or more tray arrangements, which are each configured to receive one or more cassettes at two or more bays. The tray arrangements and cassettes cooperate to define a cassette sensor arrangement and a port occupancy sensor arrangement having separate interface points. The cassette sensor arrangement may include electronic memory storing physical layer information about the cassette. All active components of the port occupancy sensor arrangement are disposed on the tray while the electronic memories of the cassette sensor arrangement are stored on the cassettes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Ryan Edward ENGE, Paula LOCKHART, Scott Martin KEITH, David Jan Irma VAN BAELEN, Jacob C.

Patent number: 10869345Abstract: A wireless network interface generates a beacon frame, and transmits the beacon frame outside of a wireless local area network (WLAN) served by an access point (AP). Additionally or alternatively, the wireless network interface receives a first probe request frame from a client station in the WLAN, and in response, generates and transmits a probe response frame outside of the WLAN. The wireless network interface receives one or more frames from the client station of the WLAN, the one or more frames having been transmitted outside of the WLAN. Network security information corresponding to the WLAN is extracted from the one or more frames, and the wireless network interface uses the network security information to wirelessly connect to the AP as part of the WLAN.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Marvell Asia Pte, Ltd.Inventors: Frank Huang, Yogesh Powar, Nishant Sarmukadam, Amey Dattatray Inamdar, Xiaohua Luo, James Jan

Patent number: 10409507Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for implementing virtual dynamic library loading in embedded systems. In some aspects, a determination is made that a feature is not available in firmware executed from a first memory. Based on information associated with the feature, a portion of a second memory is allocated for code of the feature. In some cases, the portion of the second memory is allocated from a data buffer or part of a shared memory. The code of the feature is loaded to the allocated portion of the second memory and address aliasing logic is configured enable execution of the feature from the second memory. By allocating and executing firmware features from the second memory, a size of the firmware executed from the first memory can be reduced to conserve memory space and other firmware features may be dynamically loaded and executed from the second memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Marvell International Ltd.Inventors: Zhengqiang Huang, Shuangqing Yuan, Tao Song, James Jan, Xinyu Zang, Yun-Chang Chang, Albert Xi Cheng

Patent number: 9490465Abstract: A battery pack with a compact and robust bus bar assembly is provided. The batteries within the pack are divided into groups, where the batteries within each battery group are connected in parallel and the groups are connected in series. A repetitive sequence of overlapping bus bars is used, with each bus bar comprised of upper and lower segments coupled together via a step segment. The overlapping design allows the upper surface of the upper segment of each of the repetitive bus bars to be aligned within an upper plane, and the lower surface of the lower segment of each of the repetitive bus bars to be aligned within a lower plane.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: ATIEVA, INC.Inventors: James Jan, Richard J.

Patent number: 9332496Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method, system and apparatus for saving power consumed by a station in an ad hoc wireless network are presented. The method comprises transmitting or receiving a signal by a station in the ad hoc wireless network during a beacon interval. The station enters a power saving doze state immediately following the transmission or reception of the signal and prior to the end of the beacon interval. Additionally or alternatively, the station may enter power saving doze state following a timed period, according to a counter, or according to a periodic pattern.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: James Jan, Robert Lee, Long Chow, Frank Huang, Xiaohua Luo

Patent number: 9226335Abstract: A communication device using a current wireless network via a first access point confirms availability of a second access point before breaking the current connection. To confirm availability of the second access point, the communication device sends a power management message that causes the first access point to store packets during the power management period. After the connection to the second access point is confirmed, the second session may be put on hold using the same technique while the connection to the first access point is restored, the stored packets processed and the connection closed. Then the connection to the second access point may be reactivated and further communication made through the second access point.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: MARVELL INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Matthew L. Semersky, Frank Huang, James Jan, Robert Lee
