  • Patent number: 10142868
    Abstract: A Core Service Platform (CSP) system is integrated with an operator network and IT system to provide services to subscribers and operators. Based on information collected from the operator network and IT system, the CSP system delivers alerts to a subscriber's device and provides offers to resolve the condition causing the alerts. The CSP system provides customized contextual offers to the subscriber's device based on contextual assessments of a subscriber's current context, such as time in contract, loyalty status, data and voice usage, value of customer, time, location and purchase history. The CSP system also provides an operator a suite of tools for the operator to manage its pricing, offers, campaigns and other subscriber-related issues.

  • Patent number: 9960853
    Abstract: A system and method using Differential Pulse Position Modulation (DPPM) to encode digital data so that it can be transmitted using an infrared (IR) link. The digital data is then decoded upon receipt. This invention can be implemented in software and run on an FPGA (or the like) for prototyping and integration with existing designs. The encoding, decoding and sensitive timing are handled by dedicated hardware, which greatly increases the speed of these processes because it frees up the processor to accomplish other tasks.

  • Publication number: 20180100894
    Abstract: Disclosed here is a system which uses simulations of an electronic circuit and a classifier to create an optimized Test Program Set. A user provides a model of the circuit, including descriptions of common faults. Candidate test signals are simulated in the circuit, evaluated using a classifier and a fitness function which optimizes for fault detection and isolation, and evolved according to a genetic algorithm. The system records the best test signals and terminates after reaching a certain fitness, or after a certain time. The process generates necessary information for an optimized Test Program Set for a given Unit Under Test circuit. This allows test program sets to be generated for complex circuits in a largely automated manner.

  • Patent number: 9755938
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards providing a user with impact-related information regarding the impact of a monitored event (for a detected resource issue) to a managed system, such as a storage system. An event is generated when a resource such as a hard disk has an issue, e.g., has failed. Information from the event is automatically extracted and used to communicate with a management program coupled to the resource. Communication with the management program obtains information as to the impact the resource issue has to the system, e.g., what servers and/or applications are impacted. The impact-related data may be presented in a report to a user.
