Patent number: 11579979Abstract: Devices and techniques for a storage backed memory package save trigger are disclosed herein. Data can be received via a first interface. The data is stored in a volatile portion of the memory package. Here, the memory package includes a second interface arranged to connect a host to a controller in the memory package. A reset signal can be received at the memory package via the first interface. The data stored in the volatile portion of the memory package can be saved to a non-volatile portion of the memory package in response to the reset signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: James E. Dunn, Nathan A. Eckel

Patent number: 6594043Abstract: A system and method for producing an eye safe laser communication system. The system and method detects an interfering object in the optical path and cuts off or reduces the power in the communication beam to safe levels. In one embodiment, a second laser diode transmitter and receiver is installed in each network node. The laser transmitter is pointed at a corresponding network node and the pulses travel in parallel with the communication beam. The pulses are reflected back to the transmitting node where they are detected. Their flight time is measured. When an interfering object is present, in one scenario, the pulses bounce of the interfering object and return to the receiver in the transmitting node, resulting in a reduced flight time. This reduced flight time is interpreted as an interfering object and the beam is shut down or reduced to a safe level. In a second scenario, the interfering object absorbs the detection beam.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1999Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Air Fiber, Inc.Inventors: Scott H. Bloom, James E. Dunn, Anthony Acampora

Patent number: 6091722Abstract: The present invention allows telephone subscriber loops carrying data traffic between computer systems to be switched to an alternative connection through a data network, thereby unloading data traffic from the telephone network. The invention operates by means of a break switch, which selectively switches a plurality of subscriber loops between a central office switching system and a data network. The break switch is coupled to a concentrator which takes a plurality of inputs from the break switch and connects them to a smaller number of modems in a modem pool. The concentrator allows a subscriber line to connect to different types of modems within the modem pool, depending upon requirements of a particular subscriber line user. The modem pool connects through a network interface to a packet-switched network, such as the Internet. A number of different methods can be used to transmit a command to switch a subscriber loop from the central office switching system to the packet-switched network.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1997Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Steven P. Russell, James E. Dunn, Donald M. Bellenger
