Charles Fosgate 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).

  • Intelligent realtime management of processing resources
    Patent number: 7353217
    Abstract: A method and system for ordering a priority for a function to receive any type of processing resources in a system that includes a plurality of functions. The invention includes identifying a plurality of instances of the functions that use processing resources. The invention then determines an importance of at least one of said instances by using fuzzy logic in a fuzzy inference system.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated
    Inventors: Bogdan Kosanovic, Charles Fosgate, Yimin Zhang
  • Realtime management of processing resources
    Patent number: 7321568
    Abstract: The invention presents a software agent that optimizes processing resources for multiple instances of a software module that are executing simultaneously. The agent allocates and distributes processing resources, such as MIPS (millions of instruction cycles per second), to software functions executing on a core and controls resource distributions and module functions in a manner such that maximum processing capacity is utilized but not exceeded. The agent schedules the enabling and disabling of software module instance functions using a prioritization scheme that allocates MIPS to functions as the functions are enabled. An exemplary embodiment optimizes MIPS resources for multiple instances of an echo cancellation unit operating on a DSP (digital signal processor) core.
