Patent number: 9260903Abstract: Measuring a D.C. motor's armature voltage and current and measuring its rotation speed using a Hall-effect sensor enable a particular motor's characteristic equation to be determined empirically. After the equation that models a motor is determined, rotation speed can be determined between Hall-effect sensor signals using real-time measurements of armature voltage and current, which are substituted back into the equation. Current and/or voltage can also be adjusted to increase, decrease or maintain rotation speed.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Piechocki

Patent number: 9262275Abstract: A system for archiving data objects using secondary copies is disclosed. The system creates one or more secondary copies of primary copy data that contains multiple data objects. The system maintains a first data structure that tracks the data objects for which the system has created secondary copies and the locations of the secondary copies. To archive data objects in the primary copy data, the system identifies data objects to be archived, verifies that previously-created secondary copies of the identified data objects exist, and replaces the identified data objects with stubs. The system maintains a second data structure that both tracks the stubs and refers to the first data structure, thereby creating an association between the stubs and the locations of the secondary copies.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Parag Gokhale, Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Prakash Varadharajan

Patent number: 9259149Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus for measuring spatial distances within a patient's eye is disclosed. The apparatus can be used to measure, for example, the capsular bag depth in an aphakic eye. The spatial measurement system can direct laser light into a patient's eye so that a portion of the light is scattered by the capsular bag. The scattered light can be directed to a detector where spots can be formed corresponding to the locations on the capsular bag from which the light was scattered. The distance from the cornea to the capsular bag can be determined based, for example, at least in part on the distance between the spots formed on the detector. In some embodiments, the apparatus can include a surgical microscope and/or a wavefront aberrometer. In some embodiments, an alignment system can be used to precisely position the apparatus relative to the patient's eye.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: WaveTec Vision Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jack T.

Patent number: 9264317Abstract: A desired node is selected from a tree structure or list and then a number of levels from that node are displayed in a map. For edge nodes, the number of undisplayed links from that node is displayed. When another node is selected on the map, the number of levels is recalculated based on that node or the existing nodes remain and the desired level is additionally displayed from the selected node. Multiple nodes can be selected from the list, which may result in separated islands which join when an common node is displayed in each island. Filters can be applied to limit the number of nodes. The filtering may either remove nodes from the display or provide an indication of the number of undisplayed nodes meeting the filter and any displayed nodes meeting the filter. The technique can be used on most linked networks.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Suresh Muthu, Naveen Kondapalli

Patent number: 9264256Abstract: A Network Flow Processor (NFP) integrated circuit receives, via each of a first plurality of physical MAC ports, one or more PCP (Priority Code Point) flows. The NFP also maintains, for each of a second plurality of virtual channels, a linked list of buffers. There is one port enqueue engine for each physical MAC port. For each PCP flow received via the physical MAC port associated with a port enqueue engine, the port enqueue engine causes frame data of the flow to be loaded into one particular linked list of buffers. Each port enqueue engine has a lookup table circuit that is configurable to cause multiple PCP flows to be merged so that the frame data for the multiple flows is all assigned to the same one virtual channel. Due to the PCP flow merging, the second number can be smaller than the first number multiplied by eight.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Netronome Systems, Inc.Inventor: Joseph M. Lamb

Patent number: 9262136Abstract: A novel allocate instruction and a novel API call are received onto a compiler. The allocate instruction includes a symbol that identifies a non-memory resource instance. The API call is a call to perform an operation on a non-memory resource instance, where the particular instance is indicated by the symbol in the API call. The compiler replaces the API call with a set of API instructions. A linker then allocates a value to be associated with the symbol, where the allocated value is one of a plurality of values, and where each value corresponds to a respective one of the non-memory resource instances. After allocation, the linker generates an amount of executable code, where the API instructions in the code: 1) are for using the allocated value to generate an address of a register in the appropriate non-memory resource instance, and 2) are for accessing the register.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Netronome Systems, Inc.Inventors: Espen Skoglund, Rolf Neugebauer, Francois Henri Theron, Gavin J.
