Patent number: 10594364Abstract: Methods and devices for characterization of repetitious noise in cable networks are disclosed. A frequency band of interest is identified, a time trace of a signal parameter within the frequency band is obtained, and an autocorrelation of the time trace is computed to detect repetitious noise. The repetition frequency can serve as an indicator of the noise source type, and thus it can assist in noise segmentation.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Ben Maxson, Daniel K. Chappell, Jim Walsh

Patent number: 10499048Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for evaluating a network and for predicting network performance for a higher order modulation by analyzing network signals modulated using a lower order modulation format. A margin index may be generated for the current or projected modulation formats based on displacement vectors for received symbols to indicate a margin remaining before a codeword error occurs to alert the network operator of potential performance issues before actual codeword errors occur.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Jim Walsh, Ching-Chang Liao

Patent number: 10182398Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a processor, a memory controller coupled to the processor to provide access to a system memory, and an interface controller to communicate with an endpoint device. The interface controller is coupled to the processor and configured to access a register of the endpoint device, the register to be mapped into a memory space of the system, the register to store a service latency tolerance value of the endpoint device. The endpoint device has a service latency tolerance value for a first state and a service latency tolerance value for a second state. The service latency tolerance value for the first state is greater than the service latency tolerance value for the second state.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jaya L.

Patent number: 9698628Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, systems, methods, and devices are disclosed that include a power source integrated with a host computing device, and configured to provide power to the host computing device, and a wireless power transmission module coupled to the host computing device. The wireless power transmission module is configured to wirelessly transmit power derived from the power source independent of whether the host computing device is in a powered-off state or not. The host computing device may be configured to stop the wireless power transmission based on a determination that at least one of one or more predetermined transmission policies has been violated or that an unrecoverable error has occurred at the host computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Gamil A.

Patent number: 9692260Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, devices and methods are disclosed that include measuring, at a transmitter, a reflected power level corresponding to a specific transmit power level, and setting the transmit power to an operational level. At the transmitter, a new operational level of the transmit power may be determined, for example, by selecting at least one trial transmit power level, and based on reflected power levels measured corresponding to the operational level and the at least one trial level of the transmit power, either maintaining the operational level as the new operational level, or determining the at least one trial level as the new operational level. The operational transmit power level may correspond to a lowest reflected power level, or a highest rate of change of the reflected power level with respect to the transmit power level.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Jim Walsh, Joshua R. Smith, Issy Kipnis, Gamil A. Cain
