Patent number: 8078737Abstract: A SIP server can be deployed in a two-tier architecture, including an engine tier for processing of SIP communications and a state tier for maintaining the state associated with these communications. The state tier can include RAM-based replicas that provide data to the engines. Some of the SIP session state can be moved to the database in order to reduce the memory requirements of the state tier. Upon determining that a transaction boundary has been reached where the session state is steady, the state replica can save the data to the database. A hint can be received from the engine tier by the state replica indicating that the state data is ready to be saved. Subsequently, the data can be removed from the state tier by nulling out the bytes of actual data, while preserving the primary key, locking and timer information so as not to impact latency.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Ioannis Cosmadopoulos, Vinod Mehra, Paul James Devine, Reto Kramer

Patent number: 7895475Abstract: An instrumentation service is described that uses dye injection and filtering in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application server environment. The instrumentation service can provide a flexible mechanism for selectively adding diagnostic code to the SIP application server and the various applications running on it. It can allow flexible selection of locations in the server and application code, at which instrumentation code can be added. The process of adding diagnostic code can be deferred to the time of running the server at the deployment site. The instrumentation service further allows flexible selection of diagnostic actions, which can be executed at selected locations. In various embodiments, the execution of diagnostic code can be dynamically enabled or disabled while the server is running. Also, the behavior of diagnostic code executed at such locations can be dynamically changed while the server is running.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Mihir Arvind Kulkarni, Rajendra Inamdar, Rao Nasir Khan, Jaroslaw Wilkiewicz, Paul James Devine

Publication number: 20050201032Abstract: A positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device is connected in parallel with the circuit breaker of e.g., a power-conditioning circuit. Such an arrangement allows pre-charging of the capacitors in the circuit while the circuit is switched off, so that a current surge is avoided when the circuit is powered on. In the event of overcurrent due to a circuit fault, the PTC device will switch to a high-resistance state, which will protect the circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: James Devine, Jeffrey Menegus, John Olivieri

Patent number: 5836867Abstract: An endoscope coupler apparatus and method includes a sealed chamber and a lens assembly movable within the chamber for optically adjusting an image to be received by a video camera. The optical adjustment may be, for example, a focus adjustment or a zoom or orientation adjustment, etc. In a preferred embodiment, spaced permanent drive magnets located in an outer rotatable frame situated outside of the chamber are magnetically coupled with respective permanent driven magnets secured to an inner rotatable frame within the sealed chamber. The outer frame is rotatable but not longitudinally movable about the chamber and rotates the drive magnets and, therefore, the driven magnets. The inner frame is secured to a rotatable cylindrical housing which engages a lens assembly. Rotation of the driven magnets and the cylindrical housing moves the lens assembly longitudinally in response to rotation of an adjustment ring attached to the outer frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Linvatec CorporationInventors: Craig J. Speier, Arthur James Devine

Patent number: 4960126Abstract: A pulse oximeter and method of determining the oxygen saturation level of a patient's blood wherein a heartbeat related signal is used, as a reference to guide the averaging of optical pulse waveforms. The oximeter and method assign different weighting to different optical pulses based upon the amplitude of new pulse waveforms and the degree of similarity between it and the preceding waveform. A composite, averaged pulse waveform is then used in computing oxygen saturation level.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1988Date of Patent: October 2, 1990Assignee: Criticare Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brendan Conlon, James A. Devine, James A. Dittmar

Patent number: 4924860Abstract: A water trap for a gas analyzer includes self-sealing filters formed of a porous polymer that includes a cellulose extract that causes the polymer to become impermeable on contact with water. The water trap in this way automatically protects the gas analyzer from liquid contamination. Preferably, the gas analyzer monitors a pressure parameter of a pneumatic line connected to the water trap and provides an indication that the water trap should be replaced in the event this pressure parameter indicates an abnormal operating condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1988Date of Patent: May 15, 1990Assignee: Criticare Systems, Inc.Inventors: Timothy P. Larsen, James A. Devine, Michael T. Larsen
