  • Methods and systems for aiding the analysis of a signal
    Patent number: 9329967
    Abstract: Method and related systems are described for navigating through information related to the status of one or more layers of a signal, such as a serial or parallel bus. Information may be displayed by selecting fields within a visual depicted on an oscilloscope or similar measuring instrument. By selecting particular fields, and indicators, different aspects of a layer may be analyzed without the need to have extensive knowledge of the operation of the measuring instrument.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2016
    Assignee: TEKTRONIX, INC.
    Inventors: Keith D. Rule, Walter R. Strand, Keith A. Olson, Michael J. Wadzita, Steve M. Mishler

  • Software domain model that enables simultaneous independent development of software components
    Patent number: 8490053
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a software domain model that enables simultaneous independent development of software components. A system using this model includes a first component, a second component, and a core layer that defines an item that can be accessed by the first and second components. Both components are able to independently and separately extend the definition of the item. A high-level software layer uses a set of micro-orchestrations to perform a holistic task, with each micro-orchestration invoking a piece of functionality in a component, the core layer, and/or the software layer.
