Carl R. Dichter 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: 7398518
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a program includes identifying code in the program having high thread wait time. A task associated with the code is identified as a potential source of performance problem for the program.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6847364
    Abstract: A data processing system provides high performance three-dimensional graphics. In one embodiment a processor of the data processing system performs a computer algorithm that creates a motion illusion regarding an object being displayed in a computer graphics scene by drawing multiple images of the object and varying the application of an attribute, such as transparency, color, intensity, reflectivity, fill, texture, size, and/or position including depth, to the images in a manner that provides the object with an illusion of three-dimensional motion between a first position and a second position. Also described are an integrated circuit for implementing the motion illusion algorithm and a computer-readable medium storing a data structure for implementing the motion illusion algorithm.

  • Patent number: 6810416
    Abstract: A programmably configurable computer network, particularly applicable to small network applications such as home networks, includes a plurality of nodes which may be implemented through wall-box sized components. The nodes may be connected through telephone wires and may also offer telephone connectors at each node. The system may be powered by a high frequency power supply which is isolated from the external telephone system using a low pass filter. In this way, the network can be automatically configured to achieve an efficient and specification compliant topology without requiring rewiring of the building.

  • Patent number: 6102353
    Abstract: An object may be adjustably mounted with respect to a base on one or more plastic straps which extend between the base and the object. The object may be translated with respect to the straps which may be fixed so as to vary the extension of the strap or straps into the object. In this way, the position of the object may be rotationally adjusted with respect to the base and translated towards and away form the base as well. This arrangement may be particularly suitable for mounting flat screen displays for computer systems in a low profile, low cost arrangement that allows multiple degrees of freedom of movement.

  • Patent number: 6031499
    Abstract: An antenna for a motor vehicle provides both global positioning system and radio functionality. The antenna, which may be connected to a typical radio antenna body opening, may include a tubular portion which receives AM/FM radio signals and a planar member secured on top of the AM/FM radio antenna. The planar member may be for example, an active element for a global positioning system antenna and may be connected to a global positioning system receiver by wires that extend from the global positioning system antenna through the radio antenna to the global positioning system receive.

  • Patent number: 5990846
    Abstract: A self-aligning global positioning system (GPS) antenna aligns with the earth's surface so as to maintain the integrity of the GPS tracking signal received by a GPS receiver. The antenna element may be maintained within a sealed container which floats inside a spherical reservoir filled with liquid. As a result, the GPS antenna moves along the inside surface of the spherical reservoir in a buoyant arrangement which self-levels the active element of the antenna with the earth's surface.
