Patents by Inventor Greg ARMSTRONG

Greg ARMSTRONG 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: 11561572
    Abstract: Methods and system for clock alignment are described. In an example, a timing device can distribute a clock signal to a line card via a trace of a backplane. The timing device can further send a pulse to the line card at a first time via the trace. The timing device can further receive a return pulse from the line card at a second time via the trace. The timing device can determine a time difference between the first time and the second time. The time difference can indicate a propagation delay associated with the line card and the trace. The timing device can send the time difference to the line card. The line card can adjust a phase delay offset of the line card using the time difference.

  • Patent number: 11108400
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of monitoring circuits and a reset circuit. The monitoring circuits may each be configured to determine a status of one of a plurality of input signals, transmit one of the input signals to a PLL circuit and generate a loss signal in response to the status. The reset circuit may be configured to receive the loss signal and generate a reset signal in response to the loss signal. One of the input signals may be a primary input used by the PLL circuit. One of the input signals may be a secondary input that has been selected to replace the primary input. The reset signal may be configured to reset a feedback clock divider of the PLL circuit.

  • Patent number: 10947919
    Abstract: A fuel injector controller is disclosed. The fuel injector controller may determine respective values of a set of parameters of the engine; process, using a neural network, the respective values to determine a target fuel output of a fuel injector, wherein the neural network is configured to determine the target fuel output based on the set of parameters being an input layer of the neural network; determine, based on an output of the neural network, the target fuel output; and provide the determined target fuel output to the fuel injector to permit the fuel injector to inject fuel according to the target fuel output.
