Patent number: 10244362Abstract: A method is provided for determining the position of a mobile technology platform within a structure, wherein the mobile technology platform is equipped with a gyroscope, a magnetometer and at least one accelerometer. The method includes deploying a set of RF (radio frequency) beacons within the structure, wherein each RF beacon emits an RF signal; recording, at each of a set of sampling locations within the structure, the RF signature created by the RF signals received at the location, wherein said recording is performed by a digital image correlation (DIC) platform which traverses the structure, and which correlates the recorded RF signatures to a floor map of the structure; forming an RF fingerprint of the structure from the recorded RF signatures; and using the RF fingerprint, in conjunction with readings from the gyroscope, magnetometer and at least one accelerometer to determine the location of the device within the structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Gozio Inc.Inventors: Joshua Titus, Kevin Garth Lee

Patent number: 8069355Abstract: A data path controller, a computer device, an apparatus and a method are disclosed for integrating power management functions into a data path controller to manage power consumed by processors and peripheral devices. By embedding power management within the data path controller, the data path controller can advantageously modify its criteria in-situ so that it can adapt its power management actions in response to changes in processors and peripheral devices. In addition, the data path controller includes a power-managing interface that provides power-monitoring ports for monitoring and/or quantifying power consumption of various components. In one embodiment, the data path controller includes a power-monitoring interface for selectably monitoring power of a component.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Brad W.

Patent number: 7966468Abstract: A speculative transfer mechanism transfers a source synchronous read request from a first clock domain to a second clock domain. The address portion having address information is transferred to the second clock domain in response to detecting a source synchronous address strobe latching signal. A pointer is generated in response to detecting the address strobe latching signal and passed into the second clock domain. In one embodiment, a pointer is retimed to be stable for a timing window for which a crossover of the address portion may be performed in the second clock domain. Request logic in the second clock domain generates a read command based on the address portion and the pointer.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Brad W.

Patent number: 5694029Abstract: A switching power supply system for digitally measuring switching regulator current is provided. The switching power supply contains a pulse-width-modulator (PWM) controller for providing a series of constant voltage and constant frequency pulses to a tank circuit. The tank circuit provides a DC current to an electronic system. The duty cycle of the pulses, however, is varied, depending on the current drain of the electronic system. A counter is attached to an output of the PWM controller to provide a count that is relative to the width of an output pulse from the PWM controller. The count is provided to a power control system that utilizes the value of the count to determine the current output of the PWM controller. The power control system is also connected to the output of the tank circuit to monitor the voltage output of the PWM controller. The power control system utilizes the determined current output, and the monitored voltage output to determine the instantaneous power output of the PWM controller.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1996Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Dell USA, L.P.Inventors: Stuart Hayes, Joshua Titus

Patent number: 5637991Abstract: A power supply including a detection and switch system for sensing either a uni-plane or a split-plane device connected to a socket and for providing one or two supply voltages, respectively. In one embodiment, a dual output regulator includes first and second regulators with corresponding first and second feedback circuits and comparators for regulating first and second outputs, respectively. A switch circuit connects the second feedback circuit to the comparator of the second regulator in split-plane mode for providing the second output. However, the switch circuit connects the first feedback circuit to the comparator of the second regulator in uni-plane mode where the two outputs are coupled together by a uni-plane device, so that the two outputs are regulated at the same level. A detection circuit monitors the output signals and controls the switch circuit depending upon whether a uni-plane or split-plane device is detected.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1995Date of Patent: June 10, 1997Assignee: Dell USA, L.P.Inventors: Alan E. Brown, Joseph D. Mallory, Joshua Titus, Joseph A. Vivio
