Patent number: 11810119Abstract: A method for providing an indication of financial strength includes receiving a financial indicator and a predetermined spending budget status from a user. The predetermined spending budget status is associated with a spending budget for the user that has at least one payment account. The financial indicator is then associated with the predetermined spending budget status. A payment request that includes one of the at least one payment accounts is then received from a merchant. A current spending budget status is then determined using the spending budget and the at least one payment account. The financial indicator is then sent to the merchant for provision to the user in response to the current spending budget status being included in the predetermined spending budget status.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Frank Anthony Nuzzi, James Brett Sowder, Sandra Lynn Godsey, Vincent Ng

Patent number: 9369388Abstract: Embodiments generally provide techniques for load balancing data transmitted between line cards across a network fabric. Embodiments receive, at a first line card within a modular Ethernet switch, data to be transmitted to a second line card within the modular Ethernet switch. A mask table is accessed using a value corresponding to the second line card as an index in order to retrieve a mask value. Embodiments select one of a plurality of links for the first line card for use in transmitting the data, based on a load balancing algorithm and the retrieved mask value. The data is then transmitted to the second line card using the selected link.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: James Zhijiang Shen, Pingching Vincent Ng, Huaqing Zeng, Ju Lin

Publication number: 20050277421Abstract: An alarm transmission system and method for summoning assistance in response to a problematic situation, with police, consumer and helper versions. In all versions, a fast data transmission mobile phone is carried by a user, which is capable of transmitting real-time on-site video images (a video call) to a server. In the police version and helper version, the real-time on-site video images are transmitted to a monitoring device, which may cause transmission of the real-time on-site video images to a rescuer communication device or otherwise take action in response to the video transmissions. In the consumer version, the user of the phone will communicate with an inter-active voice response system, which may trigger transmission of the real-time on-site video images to a rescuer communication device. In all cases above, the video calls are recorded live. An innovative testing system is constructed to measure the delay at the video call.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2005Publication date: December 15, 2005Inventor: Vincent Ng

Patent number: 6323610Abstract: A method and circuit are presented for operating a polyphase dc motor in which drive voltages are applied to the windings of the motor in predetermined phases. Zero crossings of currents flowing in respective windings of the motor are detected, and phases of the drive voltages are adjusted to have zero crossings substantially simultaneously with the detected zero crossings of the currents flowing in respective windings of the motor. The method includes generating a set of three waveforms (45,46,47) to provide drive voltages to respective windings of the motor. Each waveform has a period of 360° with a first segment (43) having a value of zero for 120°, followed by a second segment (50) having an “up slope” shape for 60°, followed by a third segment (67,68) having two consecutive “cap” shapes for 120°, followed by a fourth segment (52) having “down slope” shape for 60°. Each waveform of said set is displaced from one another by 120°.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Vincent Ng, Bert White

Patent number: 6252362Abstract: A method and circuit for operating a polyphase dc motor in which discontinuous sinusoidal drive voltages are applied to the windings of the motor in predetermined phases. The discontinuous portion of the sinusoid is timed with the bemf zero crossings. Bemf zero crossings are detected, and phases of the drive voltages are adjusted to have zero crossings substantially in the discontinuities of the drive voltages. The method and circuit result in motor operation with significantly reduced acoustic motor noise.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1999Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Bertram J.

Patent number: 5563573Abstract: A pseudo-random switched resistor for emulating a relatively high input impedance. The switched resistor comprises a relatively low value resistor, a semiconductor switch coupled to the resistor, and a pseudo-random pulse generator coupled to the switch for controlling the on time of the switch to emulate the relatively high input impedance. The random pulse generator comprises a plurality of cascaded circuits that are coupled to a flip flop. The plurality of cascaded circuits each comprise a shift register for receiving clock signals and for generating a sequence of (2.sup.N -1) pseudo-random numbers and a terminal count pulse at the end of every sequence, an N-bit binary counter for receiving the terminal count pulse which clocks it, and an equivalence circuit for comparing the outputs of the shift register and the binary counter and for generating an output signal when there is a match.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1994Date of Patent: October 8, 1996Assignee: Hughes Aircraft CompanyInventors: Vincent Ng, Frank Bohac, Joyce Taylor
