Patents by Inventor Massimo Perino

Massimo Perino has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9613768
    Abstract: A switch control device includes at least one silicone dome (7) and at least one actuator (5) acting upon the at least one silicone dome (7), which is adapted to close and selectively open electric contacts of at least one switch (6). The actuator (5) is moved by a force exerted via a thrusting element (3). Between the thrusting element (3) and the at least one actuator (5) is at least one elastic element (4) adapted to be compressed by the thrusting element (3) as the at least one silicone dome (7) is compressed, and to extend as the at least one dome (7) collapses towards the switch (6).

  • Patent number: 8339979
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for detecting a single data flow in an aggregate packet data flow and identifying the application generating the single data flow, this single data flow being divided into messages, each message comprising a plurality of blocks, each block (g) having n bits for identifying 2n block values (i).

  • Patent number: 8144614
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for detecting vocal data flow in a packet data flow characterised by at least two measurable variables (X5Y). A distribution function (P{x 1 C}, P{y I C}) is provided of the values of each variable (X5Y) in a vocal data flow, and the values (x,y) of each variable (X,Y) are measured in order to obtain a sequence of measured values (x(k), y(k)) on a number (k) of blocks. Each measured value (x(k), y(k)) is therefore applied to the respective distributiion function (P{x 1 C}, P{yI C}) in order to generate a sequence of likelihood values Formula (I) from which respective average likelihood values (E [Bx],E[By]) are generated. The average values are processed in order to generate a reference likelihood value (B) which, when compared with a threshold likelihood value (Bmin) enables the presence of vocal data flow in a packet data flow to be detected.
