Brett Sinclair 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: 11929881
    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of multi-layer networks include receiving data associated with a network, wherein the network includes interconnected network elements that operate at a plurality of levels that include any of network layers and encapsulations; displaying a plurality of three-dimensional icons each represent one of a plurality of network elements of the interconnected network elements; and displaying links between the plurality of three-dimensional icons each link representing one of a network layer connection and an encapsulation connection.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: Ciena Corporation

  • 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: 11588702
    Abstract: Systems and methods include receiving data from a network that includes a plurality of network elements that operate at a plurality levels that include any of network layers and encapsulations; displaying any of the plurality of network elements as a three-dimensional icon on a network map; illustrating a plinth in the three-dimensional icon for each of the plurality of levels for each network element of the any of the plurality of network elements, wherein a plinth at each level indicates a corresponding network element participates in that level; and illustrating horizontal connectivity as links between any of the network elements via associated plinths.
