Patent number: 9015244Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for sorting and displaying information from a BBS. The system provides a method of sorting and presenting messages from a BBS in a way so that the relationship in message threads can be easily observed and related messages can be identified. The system provides a way to view messages and map message threads in two and three dimensions so that the content of messages can be easily reviewed and the relationship between messages can be seen and followed. The system allows a user to enter into a message thread at any point and to then produce a visualization of the related threads and messages associated with each individual message. The system provides interfaces for either a linear or threaded BBS or even a hybrid BBS that is some combination of linear and threaded.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Bitvore Corp.Inventors: Carl Mandel, David Mandel, Brian Fudge, Lew Roth, Kevin Watters

Patent number: 8752007Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically generating a run-time instrumenter are disclosed. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, an off-line analyzer first determines instrumentation locations for a program under test in accordance with a method called the Super Nested Block Method. After the instrumentation locations have been determined, source code for a run-time instrumenter is automatically generated based on the source code for the program under test and the instrumentation locations. The source code for the program under test and the run-time instrumenter are then compiled into executables, and a testing tool then executes the program under test and the run-time instrumenter in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Juan Jenny Li, David Mandel Weiss

Patent number: 8739145Abstract: A method for determining the number and location of instrumentation probes to be inserted into a program is disclosed. The method advantageously inserts the minimum number of probes that are required to obtain execution coverage for every node in the program's control-flow graph. In addition, the method requires only one bit to store each probe and does not require the assignment of weights to arcs or nodes of the control-flow graph. In the illustrative embodiment, the nodes of a control-flow graph are partitioned into non-empty sets, where each non-empty set corresponds to a super nested block of the program.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Juan Jenny Li, David Mandel Weiss

Patent number: 8608665Abstract: A device may include a first locking mechanism configured to connect a first end of the device to a needle, a second locking mechanism configured to connect a second end of the device to a syringe, a pressure transducer, a microprocessor and a light emitting diode. The pressure transducer may be configured to measure a first pressure at a first time and a second pressure at a second time. The microprocessor may be configured to receive the first pressure and the second pressure from the pressure transducer, determine a pressure difference between the first pressure and the second pressure, and determine a time difference between the first time and the second time. The light emitting diode may be configured to signal when the needle is properly situated based on the pressure difference and the time difference.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Inventors: Vijay Vad, Christian Haller, David Mandel
