David Dowd 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: 7100132
    Abstract: A translator tool for translating simulation test data generated to test clock recovery circuitry of a device from an event-based format to a cycle-based format readable by integrated circuit testers is presented. The simulation test data includes test timing irregularities intentionally injected into a serial data signal that will be processed by the clock recovery circuitry of the device under test. The translator tool includes a normalization function that extracts the intentionally injected timing irregularities from the event-based test data and generates corresponding normalized event-based test data without the extracted timing irregularities. The translator tool includes a cyclization engine that cyclizes the normalized event-based test data to generate corresponding cycle-based test data without the timing irregularities.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6362420
    Abstract: Electrical wiring trunking includes at least first and second cable running compartments extending parallel to each other in a general lengthwise direction of the trunking and separated from each other by a fixed insulative partition. The partition includes at least one communication opening between the first and second compartments. An electrical insulation box has a lateral wall with a lateral access opening mounted in the first compartment so that its lateral access opening coincides with the communication opening. The space inside the box forms an extension of the second compartment into the first compartment which is electrically insulated from the first compartment and receives an electrical accessory to be connected to electrical cables running in the second compartment.

  • Patent number: 6322083
    Abstract: An insulating gasket for preventing drafts from passing through a wall at the location of an electrical fixture. The gasket which has a plurality of overlapping removable cut-outs, such that the same gasket may engage with different fixtures depending on the area which is cut out. It also has removable side strips to allow it to fit in any position in a multi-gang fixture.

  • Patent number: 6098798
    Abstract: A package for an electrical floor box of the type adapted to be mounted in a sub-floor for receiving a wiring device to allow connection to an electrical circuit includes a cardboard container having a size sufficient to permit the floor box to be contained therein, a reclosable flap for allowing the cardboard container to be opened for receiving the floor box and closed to enclose the floor box in the cardboard container, and indicia on the surface of the cardboard container defining the perimeter of a portion of the box adapted, when separated from the remainder of the container and folded, to form a temporary cover for the floor box for at least partially closing the container.
