Patent number: 9374072Abstract: An integrated circuit 2 includes a transistor 26 which has a normal switching speed arising during normal operations of that transistor that apply electrical signals within normal ranges. If it is desired to change the speed of operation of the transistor, then speed tuning circuitry 12 applies a tuning electrical signal with a tuning characteristic outside of the normal range of characteristics to the transistor concerned. The tuning electrical signal induces a change in at least one of the physical properties of that transistor such that when it resumes its modified normal operations the switching speed of that transistor will have changed. The tuning electrical signal may be a voltage (or current) outside of the normal range of voltages applied to the gate of a transistor so as to induce a permanent increase in the threshold of that transistor and so slow its speed of switching. Temperature of a transistor may also be controlled to induce a permanent change in performance/speed.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: ARM LimitedInventors: Betina Hold, Brian Cline, George Lattimore

Patent number: 7313593Abstract: A conference server enables collaborative communications among a variety of client processes of varying configurations all operatively coupled over a computer network to each other and to the server. The server receives audio streams from participating client processes in a conference, selects which audio streams are active, and broadcasts one or more of the active audio streams to the client processes participating in the conference depending on the clients receiving capabilities and the conference parameters. The client processes receiving multiple active audio streams perform mixing locally at the client node. Without having to perform mixing at the server, resources are saved and the number of simultaneous participating client processes to the conference may be increased accordingly. The server is further capable of simultaneously accommodating multipoint clients and non-multipoint H.323 clients, as well as operating in multiway and “push to talk” modes.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2000Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian Pulito, Mark Johnson, Brian Cline, Jeff Durham, Mark Kressin, Andrew Lochbaum

Patent number: 7165465Abstract: A dynamic load fixture (DLF) applies a torsion load to a unit under test (UUT) to achieve the demanding aerodynamic load exposures encountered by a control actuation system (CAS) in flight. Instead of fixing the end of the torsion bar, the DLF controls the application of torque to the torsion bar, hence the UUT via a DLF motor. The dynamic load can be independent of the angular rotation of the UUT, which allows the DLF to more effectively reproduce desired acceptance tests such as torque-at-rate and nonlinear loads. Furthermore, application of the loads through a torsion bar allows the system the compliance needed to generate precise loads while allowing for the flexibility of changing torsion bars to test a wide variety of UUT on one test platform. To achieve the demanding aerodynamic load exposures encountered by a CAS in flight, the controller must be able to respond both very fast and very precisely.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Charles M.

Publication number: 20060036747Abstract: A system and method is provided that includes a communication system for handling Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages. The system includes a plurality of first servers for processing a first and a second message. The system also includes a plurality of second servers, which may include a mapping/correlating function for receiving the first message from a client and sending the first message to the plurality of first servers based on associating the first message with a resource. The second message received from the plurality of first servers is sent to the client based on stored routing information associated with the client, whereby the stored routing information resides within the plurality of second servers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: James Galvin, James Lawwill, Brian Cline, Uri Segev, Avshalom Houri, Amir Perlman, Ofira Tal-Aviv, Brian Pulito
