Patents by Inventor Christophe Joubert

Christophe Joubert 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: 9323632
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for monitoring and viewing physical parameters while the emulator is emulating a design. Additionally, the parameters are in real time or substantially real time, such as after a periodic update. In one embodiment, a monitoring portion of the emulator periodically monitors the emulator boards and power supplies for physical information. The physical information is communicated to a workstation for communication to a user. For example, the workstation can display the physical information in a graphical user interface (GUI) that shows which boards are plugged in the system and which slots are empty. In yet another aspect, the user can select a particular board in the system and view communication information, such as data errors, status, link errors, global errors, etc.

  • Patent number: 9008847
    Abstract: A method of controlling a cooling device for cooling a cutting tool in a machine tool. The method comprising the steps of: controlling the motor to drive the pump in such a manner that the pump feeds the nozzle with machining fluid at a constant flow rate D1 that is equal to a first flow rate setpoint; measuring a parameter P representative of a fluid outlet pressure from the nozzle; and comparing an estimated outlet pressure Pestim as estimated from the parameter P with a first predetermined pressure threshold Ps1, and controlling the motor so as to increase the fluid flow rate D1 as delivered by the pump if the estimated output pressure drops below the first pressure threshold Ps1.
