Patent number: 10740504Abstract: A fiber channel verification system provides a fiber optic network design platform that allows a user to create a graphical mock-up of a fiber optic network design, and performs fault analytics on the proposed design to identify potential faults or problems with the design. The verification system can guide the user through the process of specifying network components such as trunk cables, patch cables, fiber optic cassettes, connectors, or other such components suitable for a given networking application. The verification also allows the user to define connections between the selected components. During development or after the design is complete, the verification system can analyze each channel of network design and identify improper fiber connections, network component incompatibilities, incorrect polarities, excessive insertion or return losses, or other such problems. The verification system can also provide recommendations for eliminating discovered problems where appropriate.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING CO., INC.Inventors: Jay Treptow, Frank Chin Hwan Kim, Scott T. Robinson, Sean McCloud, Adrian Young, Dennis Manes

Patent number: 10210068Abstract: A device topology definition system works in conjunction with a location indicia detector, such as a topology key or detector, to simplify entry of device location information in a device monitoring system. To mitigate the tedium of entering location information for each device being monitored, the topology key or detector can be inserted into a data port or aperture of a device, or otherwise detect location indicia located on or proximate to a device, and a topology definition system of the device monitoring application will read topology information from the key or detector and logically associate the topology information with the device's identifier. This association is recorded as part of a global topology data set for the monitored devices maintained by the device monitoring application.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Brian Engelhardt, Frank Kim, Jason Erickson, Jay Treptow

Patent number: 9454501Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) sensor bar and a device manager are configured to intelligently monitor one or more patch panels. The USB sensor bar comprises an array of sensors configured to read identification data from memory devices affixed to respective cables plugged into ports of a patch panel. The USB sensor bar converts the identification data to a USB protocol and sends the data to a device manager over a USB bus. The device manager uses the received information to document a network architecture, generate web-based interfaces that render configuration and status information for the network, and generate alarms or notifications in response to detection of defined network conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING CO., INC.Inventors: Mark Edward Dearing, Jason Erickson, Jeff Storm, Jay Treptow, Hua Wang

Patent number: 8065357Abstract: A system and method for managing output such as printing, faxing, and e-mail over various types of computer networks. In one aspect, the system and method provides for accessing print and/or document resources located on private networks behind firewalls. A pass-through communication link is established between system components located on opposing sides of a firewall. A system-served user-interface enables users to select source data and an output device on which the source data are to be printed, either or both of which may reside behind the firewall. The source data are then retrieved and forwarded to a print service, which renders output image data corresponding to the source data and the selected output device. The output image data are then submitted to the output device to be physically rendered. Access to private resources is provided by the pass-through communication link. The system also enables documents to be printed by reference.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Cocotis, Alan D. Curtis, David M. Emmett, Shengkuo Fan, Kristofer P. Henderson, Jack W. Luepke, Howard J. Nellor, Jay A. Treptow, Gregory H. Wong

Patent number: 8024398Abstract: A system and method for managing output such as printing, faxing, and e-mail over various types of computer networks. In one aspect, the method provides for printing via a wireless device. The system provides renderable data to the wireless device by which a user-interface (UI) may be rendered. The UI enables users to select source data and an output device on which the source data are to be printed. The source data are then retrieved from a local or remote store and forwarded to a print service, which renders output image data corresponding to the source data and the output device that was selected. The output image data are then submitted to the output device to be physically rendered. The user-interfaces enable wired and wireless devices to access the system. The system enables documents to be printed by reference, and enables access to resources behind firewalls.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 6993562Abstract: A system and method that enables users operating originating devices, such as PC's, laptop computers, PDA's, pocket PC's, cell phones, etc., to print documents, images, etc. by sending the content to be printed via an e-mail message. The e-mail message is sent to a virtual printer e-mail address hosted by an e-mail server. The e-mail message is retrieved by a “driverless” print server (DPS) system, separated into a main file and attachment files, and printed on a printer to which the virtual printer e-mail address corresponds. The DPS system utilizes a table driven mechanism to determine appropriate applications to laod and process and handle various printer events generated by various software applications pertaining to the documents desired to be printed by operators of the originating devices. The system and method enable documents and the like to be printed without requiring a printer device driver corresponding to the target printer to be loaded on the originating device.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Peerless Systems CorporationInventors: Jay A.

Publication number: 20020138564Abstract: A system and method that enables users operating originating devices, such as PC's, laptop computers, PDA's, pocket PC's, cell phones, etc., to print documents, images, and Web pages via a “driverless” print server (DPS) system without requiring any printing device drivers to be loaded on the originating device. The server system utilizes a table driven mechanism to process and handle various printer events generated by various software applications pertaining to the documents desired to be printed by operators of the originating devices. Print data corresponding to a document is then directed over various networks to a selected target printer. The system provides two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the originating device as well as two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the target printers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2002Publication date: September 26, 2002Inventors: Jay A.
