Patent number: 10177964Abstract: A system and method to identify a call end associated with a problem that caused failure of an internet protocol-based call. The method includes accessing a first call detail record (CDR) set including at least one CDR associated with a first call end of the failed call, determining from the first CDR set indicators of failure attribution of the failed call, determining whether fault for failure of the failed call is attributed to the first call end based on the indicators of failure attribution; outputting an indication that the fault is attributed to the first call end if it was determined that the fault is attributed to the first call end, and outputting the indication to indicate the first call end is acquitted of the fault if it was determined the fault is not attributed to the first call end.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: NetScout Systems, IncInventors: Anilkumar Kollipara, James E.

Patent number: 8441291Abstract: One or more PLLs are formed on an integrated circuit. Each PLL includes an interpolative divider configured as a digitally controlled oscillator, which receives a reference clock signal and supplies an output signal divided according to a divide ratio. A feedback divider is coupled to the output signal of the interpolative divider and supplies a divided output signal as a feedback signal. A phase detector receives the feedback signal and a clock signal to which the PLL locks. The phase detector supplies a phase error corresponding to a difference between the clock signal and the feedback signal and the divide ratio is adjusted according to the phase error.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Susumu Hara, Adam B.

Publication number: 20030200876Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously sterilizing and cooking packaged products. The packages are drawn through a hydrostatic-pressure cooker utilizing a cable-driven drive mechanism where clipped-packages are attached to the cable. As the package is maneuvered through the hydrostatic-pressure cooker heated water and steam may cook the contents of the package while sterilizing the exterior surface of the package. Batch sterilizing techniques are thereby avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Applicant: MARS INCORPORATEDInventors: Charley Brokaw, James E.

Patent number: 6169734Abstract: An Internet phone provides standard voice and Internet audio functions using the familiar Plain Old Telephone System platform. Internet audio connections are initiated using an access button on the base of the telephone. A phone keypad and alphanumeric keyboard provide both DTMF dialing and Internet message handling functions. A speaker is provides or the hand set can be used to send and receive Internet compressed audio messages over the Public Switched Telephone System via the user's Internet access provider. The user selects a recipient from a stored address list or creates a new recipient using the alphanumeric keyboard. Once the call is established, a user at either end speaks directly into the phone receiver wherein his voice signal is digitized into a voice file that is stored and transferred to the user at the other end. The Internet phone an integrated display and display electronics which decode incoming messages.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1996Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: MCI Communications CorporationInventor: James E.

Patent number: 5841305Abstract: A circuit provides a duty cycle adjustment through a gate delay for operation at various output voltage levels. The delay may be provided through an OR gate and an AND gate that will generally modulate the duty cycle received at the input since most of the strength of the predriver resides in the pullup and pulldown transistors. The circuit may operate at a number of output voltage levels, including, but not limited to, CMOS and TTL levels. The implementation of the circuit also provides the advantage of parasitic load matching that may reduce EMI.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor Corp.Inventor: James E.
