Patent number: 9784960Abstract: A beam-scanning optical design is described for achieving up to kHz frame-rate optical imaging on multiple simultaneous data acquisition channels. In one embodiment, two fast-scan resonant mirrors direct the optical beam on a circuitous trajectory through the field of view, with the trajectory repeat-time given by the least common multiplier of the mirror periods. Dicing the raw time-domain data into sub-trajectories combined with model-based image reconstruction (MBIR) 3D in-painting algorithms allows for effective frame-rates much higher than the repeat time of the Lissajous trajectory. Because sub-trajectory and full-trajectory imaging are different methods of analyzing the same data, both high-frame rate images with relatively low resolution and low frame rate images with high resolution are simultaneously acquired.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: PURDUE RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Garth Jason Simpson, Charles Addison Bouman, Ryan Douglas Muir, Shane Sullivan, Justin Allen Newman, Mark Carlsen, Suhas Sreehari

Publication number: 20170207997Abstract: System and techniques are described for applying selectable applications to process data packets an adaptive private network (APN). Methods to select application specific processing within a WAN ingress processing pipeline begin with receiving a packet from a local area network (LAN) in an adaptive private network (APN) WAN ingress processing stages. The received packet is identified to be separately processed by a selected application that is different than standard ingress processing. Packet processing flow is redirected to the selected application for application specific processing of the received packet in response to the packet being identified to be separately processed. The separately processed packet is returned to the standard ingress processing after completing the separate processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: Talari Networks IncorporatedInventors: Todd Martin, Yoogin Lean, Justin Allen Patterson

Publication number: 20170207976Abstract: Techniques are described to automatically activate and deactivate standby backup paths in response to changing bandwidth requirements in an adaptive private network (APN). The APN is configured with one or more regular active wide area network (WAN) links in an active mode and an on-demand WAN link in a standby mode. The on-demand WAN link is activated to supplement the conduit bandwidth when an available bandwidth of the conduit falls below a pre-specified trigger bandwidth threshold and the conduit bandwidth usage exceeds a usage threshold of a bandwidth of the conduit that is being supplied by the active paths (BWC). The on-demand WAN link is deactivated to standby mode when an available bandwidth of the conduit is above the pre-specified trigger bandwidth threshold and the conduit bandwidth usage drops below the usage threshold of BWC. Techniques for adaptive and active bandwidth testing of WAN links in an APN are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: Talari Networks IncorporatedInventors: Sonia Kiang Rovner, Wei Huang, Wai Yee Lui, Jigar Mehta, Justin Allen Patterson, Todd Martin

Publication number: 20170190256Abstract: A method for controlling the charging of one or more electric vehicles at one or more charging stations in a geographic locality includes determining if the charging event of an electric vehicle of the one or more electric vehicles increases a demand billing rate. The demand billing rate may be a cost per unit of energy in the locality.

Patent number: 9667803Abstract: An acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) system within an audio playback system of an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, may calculate an estimation of an acoustic echo based on parameters describing the transducer reproducing the audio playback signals. Those parameters may include, for example, a resistance and/or inductance of the transducer and a current through and/or a voltage across the transducer. The acoustic echo cancellation system may predict, for example, a coil velocity of the transducer based on the transducer impedance. Then, an echo may be estimated using the predicted coil velocity. That estimated echo may be output to the transducer to cancel echo in the playback signal. Additionally, that estimated echo may be used to predict nonlinearities in the transducer output and an appropriate signal generated to cancel nonlinear behavior.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: CIRRUS LOGIC, INC.Inventors: Khosrow Lashkari, Justin Allen

Publication number: 20160182305Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for a centralized management system operating within a virtual machine which configures, monitors, analyzes, and manages an adaptive private network (APN) to provide a discovery process that learns about changes to the APN through a network control node (NCN) that is a single point of control of the APN. The discovery process automatically learns a new topology of the network without relying on configuration information of nodes in the APN. Network statistics are based on a timeline of network operations that a user selected to review. Such discovery and timeline review is separate from stored configuration information. If there was a network change, the changes either show up or not show up in the discovery process based on the selected time line. Configuration changes can be made from the APN VM system by loading the latest configuration on the APN under control of the NCN.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2015Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicant: Talari Networks IncorporatedInventors: Todd Martin, Sonia Kiang Rovner, Justin Allen Patterson

Publication number: 20160072706Abstract: Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2014Publication date: March 10, 2016Applicant: Talari Networks IncorporatedInventors: Wei Huang, Todd Martin, Justin Allen Patterson, Robert W.
