Patent number: 10928434Abstract: The subject disclosure describes a structure and method that generates the average of two or more reference quantities (e.g., reference voltage potentials) and monitors the integrity of the voltage reference potentials. The subject technology produces a reference with improved accuracy and more accurate monitoring compared to traditional techniques. For example, the subject technology provides for a fault circuit that includes a monitoring circuit, and an averaging circuit configured to receive a plurality of reference signals and to produce an averaged reference signal based on the received plurality of reference signals. In some examples, the monitoring circuit is configured to receive the averaged reference signal from the averaging circuit, compare the averaged reference signal to each of the plurality of reference signals, and generate a fault signal when the averaged reference signal deviates from at least one of the plurality of reference signals by at least a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Jeffrey David Marvin, Benjamin Thomas Voegeli, Gregg Romeo Castellucci, Andrew Bishop

Patent number: 9747339Abstract: A technique for managing access to a distributed database includes providing a server configured to receive database requests from client machines over a network. The server intelligently responds to a database request by (i) sending a first query to the distributed database at a lower consistency level to obtain a first response and (ii) conditionally sending a second query to the distributed database at a higher consistency level to obtain a second response. The server sends the second query conditionally based on whether the first response meets a plausibility condition specified in the database request. If the first response meets the plausibility condition, the server returns the first response to the client to satisfy the database request and no second query is sent. Otherwise, the server sends the second query to the distributed database and returns the second response to the client.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: GetGo, Inc.Inventors: John S. Andleman, Albrecht Beyle, Mark Andrew Bishop, Paul Douglas Fife, Gerald Kleser

Patent number: 9088953Abstract: A wireless device has a plurality of radio systems. The current priority of each of the radio systems is determined. An upper bound for the transmit power of each of the radio systems is set in dependence on at least the current priorities of the radio systems and a current maximum permitted transmit power of the wireless device. The upper bounds for the transmit power of each of the radio systems are variable over time and are set such that the sum of the upper bounds does not exceed the current maximum permitted transmit power of the wireless device. For each of the radio systems, the transmit power of that radio system is limited such that the respective upper bound for the transmit power for that radio system is not exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew Bishop, Alexander Graham Charles, Stuart Ian Geary, Sami Jutila

Patent number: 8971961Abstract: A wireless device has a first SIM and a second SIM. The first SIM and the second SIM share a common radio system. A processing system determines whether to allocate use of the radio system to the second SIM for a time period that occurs when the first SIM is in an active connected mode using the common radio system in order to be able to at least one of transmit data and receive data. The processing system allocates or denies use of the radio system to the second SIM accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Andrew Bishop, Alexander Graham Charles, Stuart Ian Geary

Patent number: 8954111Abstract: A wireless device has at least a first radio system for a first SIM channel and a second radio system for a second SIM channel. A processing system is arranged to determine whether a first of the first and second radio systems is capable of providing service for both of the first and second SIM channels currently being serviced by the first and second radio systems respectively. Servicing of the second SIM channel is transferred from the second radio system to the first radio system if it is determined that the first radio system is capable of providing service for both of first and second SIM channels. At least a part of the second radio system is shut down to reduce the power consumed by the second radio system after servicing of the second SIM channel has been transferred.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Stuart Ian Geary, Nguyen Quan Tat, Andrew Bishop, Graham Alexander Charles, Roy Skovgaard Hansen

Publication number: 20130344918Abstract: A wireless device has at least a first modem and a second modern and at least a first SIM and a second SIM. The first modem supports a different level of service than the second modem. A processing system of the wireless device selectively reconfigures the connection of the first modem and the second modem to the SIMs. In a first mapping configuration, the first SIM is connected to the first modem and the second SIM is connected to the second modem. In a second mapping configuration, the second SIM is disconnected from the second modem, and the first SIM is disconnected from the first modem and is connected to the second modem thereby to obtain a different level of service for the first SIM than in the first mapping configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: RENESAS MOBILE CORPORATIONInventors: Nguyen Quan TAT, Stuart Ian GEARY, Jari RUOHONEN, Andrew BISHOP, Sami JUTILA, Alexander Graham CHARLES, Roy HANSEN

Patent number: 8606216Abstract: A wireless device has two or more radio systems and SIM channels. At least a part of the first radio system can be shut down to reduce the power consumed by the device. This occurs if the first radio system is unable to obtain suitable service for the first SIM channel and the second radio system is at least one of: (i) providing at least some service on the second SIM channel for the device, and (ii) capable of searching for service for the first radio system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Renesas Mobile CorporationInventors: Stuart Ian Geary, Nguyen Quan Tat, Andrew Bishop, Graham Alexander Charles, Sami Jutila, Jari Juhani Ruohonen
