Patents by Inventor Blair Edward Paul Moxon

Blair Edward Paul Moxon 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: 11658888
    Abstract: A network timing view provides enhanced visualization for synch timing in support of mobile (4G/5G deployments) and others requiring sync. It allows network managers to view relevant synch data both textually and graphically displayed on the network map nodes and links in a unified view. The user is able to select the appropriate filter on the network map to show the 1588/SyncE connectivity and relevant nodes that are participating in delivering timing. It allows a user to trace the timing path from any timing device upstream to the clock source. It also allows the user to interactively discover and navigate downstream timing paths from any timing device, similar to exploring a tree hierarchy. The timing topology and path data provided allows a user to investigate the timing network for troubleshooting purposes such as timing alarms and events, sync problems, clock quality levels and clock states.

  • Patent number: 7107496
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer-readable media and user interface for annunciating problems in a system. The method involves producing signals for concurrently indicating a plurality of system problems and problem priority information associated with the system problems based on data representing system conditions. Such signals may be used to drive a display device. Operator input signals may be received to permit selection of a particular problem for which details are provided. The indication of priority information assists a system manager or operator to quickly prioritize system problems according to different perspectives provided by different priority information. Optionally, the operator can also view any of the detailed information related to the particular system problem, which may include alarm information, performance degradation information, service violation information, or penalties or lost income, for example.
