Patent number: 10561852Abstract: In various embodiments, the presently described methods, apparatus, and systems can facilitate decreasing a boot time of a medical device, e.g., an amount of time between when a medical device or system is first turned on or powered on and when the medical device or system is ready to perform its intended function. In some embodiments, the present disclosure can also facilitate conducting tests on the functionality of various operational circuits shortly or immediately after the device/system has been activated. In some cases, the emergency medical devices/systems can report on the status or functionality of operational circuits even before the emergency medical device is fully booted up and ready to perform some or all of its intended functions.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Jim Murphy, Charles E. Sawyer, Jr., Melissa M. Dascoli, Bruce Edwards, Tim Stever, Allan Scott Baucom, Lawrence W. Peck, Tyler Harrington, Gary A. Freeman, Christine O'Toole, Donald Joseph Paradis

Patent number: 8983904Abstract: A file system watcher in the presence of different file systems to allow synchronization of replicated files distributed among different file systems without compromising the features of each file system is described. To synchronize the distributed replications, a platform independent synchronization manager creates a file system watcher for each file system associated with a replication of the file. The file system watcher monitors each object for events affecting the object or the object's constituent files, such as creation, deletion, change and rename. Notifications are sent to the synchronization manager, which consolidates the modifications and updates a locally stored replication, if necessary. The synchronization manager then sends a notification of an update to other synchronization managers for replications of the distributed file or folder.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Akash Sagar, Richard Chung, Jim Murphy

Publication number: 20110216760Abstract: Systems and methods can be used for selecting eligible egress routes for IP telephony termination when multiple eligible carriers exist. The method uses any of a variety of factors to determine eligible egress routes, including for example, cost, eligibility and carrier relationship as determining factors. The disclosed method includes returning multiple routes for route advancement to a next most preferred carrier in the event of preferred carrier failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2010Publication date: September 8, 2011Inventors: Jim Murphy, Arash Ramezani

Publication number: 20100081257Abstract: Semiconductor device processing and methods for dicing a semiconductor wafer into a plurality of individual dies that can have back surface metallization are described. The methods comprise providing a wafer with pre-diced streets in the wafer's front surface, applying a sidewall masking mechanism to the front surface of the wafer so as to substantially fill the pre-diced streets, thinning the back surface of the wafer so as to dice the wafer (e.g., by grinding, etching, or both) and expose a portion of the sidewall masking mechanism from the back surface of the wafer, and applying a material, such as metal, to the back surface of the diced wafer. These methods can prevent the metal from being deposited on die sidewalls and may allow the separation of individual dies without causing the metal to peel from the back surface of one or more adjacent dies. Other embodiments are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Inventors: Craig W. Hendricks, Eric Woolsey, Jim Murphy

Patent number: 7542462Abstract: Multicasting and telephony call signaling are combined to perform multicast call signaling. Several IP endpoints in a packetized network subscribe to a multicast group. A telephony call setup request is then sent on a multicast address to each of the subscribing endpoints in the telephony multicast group. When an originating endpoint transmits a telephony call setup request using the multicast address, the network replicates and transmits the telephony call setup request to each of the subscribing endpoints belonging to the telephony multicast group associated with that multicast address. When the setup request reaches the subscribing endpoints, each endpoint sends an alert signal using the multicast address to indicate the presence of a telephony device at that endpoint. Telephony devices at each of the subscribing endpoints can then begin notifying a user of the incoming call.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Jim Murphy

Patent number: 6364513Abstract: A motor vehicle lighting device is provided comprising a ground illumination portion configured to direct a portion of the light emitted from a light source to illuminate a ground surface area rearward from the motor vehicle and a reverse signaling portion configured to direct a portion of the light emitted from the light source to an area different than the ground illumination portion. In this manner, a rearward vehicle lighting device designed for ground illumination and reverse signaling is provided from a single lamp and more preferably, using a single light source.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Textron Automotive Company Inc.Inventors: Ching Fong, Jim Murphy
