Patent number: 10720689Abstract: Conduit structures for guiding extremely high frequency (EHF) signals are disclosed herein. The conduit structures can include EHF containment channels that define EHF signal pathways through which EHF signal energy is directed. The conduit structures can minimize or eliminate crosstalk among adjacent paths within a device and across devices. Launch structures that interface with waveguides are also disclosed herein. Launch structures can control the EHF interface impedance between a contactless communication unit and the waveguide. Waveguide structures discussed herein are designed to provide maximum bandwidth with minimal jitter over a desired distance.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: KEYSSA SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: James Gill Shook, Stephan Lang, Alan Besel, Dennis F.

Patent number: 8839427Abstract: A mitigation service may be used to mitigate a network attack in a network including a group of mitigation devices. Datagrams, intended for a customer that is subject of a network attack, may be received by at least one of the mitigation devices based on an anycast address associated with the mitigation devices. Each of the mitigation devices is addressable via the anycast address. The received datagrams may be processed to remove malicious datagrams and leave legitimate datagrams. The legitimate datagrams may be forwarded to the customer via a tunnel configured between an address associated with the customer and the anycast address associated with the mitigation devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Christopher Morrow, James Gill

Patent number: 7590283Abstract: In an image processor, images are created, stored, manipulated and regenerated using color tinting, where color tinting applies component-to-color mapping from a color card to a plurality of component images, which are then combined to form a final image, tinted according to the content of the color card. In some instances, the color card might code one color for each of N components, in which case the final image might be the merging of each of N monochromatic component images colored by the color coded by the color card. In other instances, the color card codes for intensity levels or a texture.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Electronic Arts, Inc.Inventors: Holly Lynn Ruark, Sandra Mae Voelker, Ryan Eric Ingram, Mike Ryan Olsen, James Gill Brooks

Patent number: 7156159Abstract: An apparatus and method of circulating a heat-absorbing material within a heat exchanger. The apparatus comprises a manifold layer coupled to an interface layer. The manifold layer comprises an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. The interface layer comprises a plurality of channels that extend from the inlet manifold, toward a heat-exchanging plane, and turn away from the heat-exchanging plane, terminating at the outlet manifold. The plurality of channels are stacked in a plane non-parallel to the heat-exchanging plane. Each of the channels is adjacent to another, thus allowing heat radiated from a heat-generating device to be conducted to a cooling material circulating within the channels, away from the heat-generating device. Preferably, each of the channels has a U-shape or an elongated U-shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Cooligy, Inc.Inventors: James Lovette, Peng Zhou, James Gill Shook

Publication number: 20060249953Abstract: A quick connector is adapted to be attached to a fluid-containing vessel, such as an aerosol can. The quick connector includes a body having a passage through which fluid can flow when the quick connector is attached to the vessel. The quick connector preferably includes an attachment mechanism in the form of a plurality of radially flexible legs angularly disposed around a longitudinal axis of the passage and extending proximally from the body. An inwardly disposed finger is disposed at the proximal end of each of the legs. The locking ring travels between a first position in which the legs are free to flex outwardly and a second position in which the legs flex inwardly such that the fingers engage the vessel rim when the quick connector is attached to the vessel. Some embodiments include a floating capitulator to accommodate vessels having fluid delivery stems of varying sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Applicant: B&G Equipment Company, a Delaware corporationInventors: James Gill, James Smith, Robert Matthews, Ronald Diehl
