Patent number: 11920177Abstract: The biological production of beta-hydroxyisovalerate (?HIV) using a non-natural microorganism. The non-natural microorganism for the biologically-derived ?HIV provides more beta-hydroxyisovalerate synthase activity than the wild-type parent. The non-natural microorganism can host a non-natural enzyme, such as the non-natural enzyme expressed in a yeast or bacteria, wherein the non-natural microorganism comprises an active ?HIV metabolic pathway for the production of ?HIV. The biological derivation of ?HIV eliminates toxic by-products and impurities that result from the chemical production of ?HIV, such that ?HIV produced by a non-natural microorganism prior to any isolation or purification process has not been in substantial contact with any halogen-containing component.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: SASYA INC.Inventors: Goutham Vemuri, Christopher Lindsay, Kevin Roberg-Perez, Christopher D. Snow, Elizabeth A. Cameron

Patent number: 10728386Abstract: A method for filtering a telephone call is provided. The method may comprise receiving from a caller the telephone call directed to a communication device associated with an intended call recipient. The received telephone call may be scored based on predetermined scoring criteria to create a score indicative of a desirability of the telephone call. Furthermore, the method may comprise comparing the score to a predetermined threshold score. Based on the comparison, the method may further comprise selectively classifying the telephone call as an unwanted telephone call. Furthermore, the method may comprise selectively rejecting the unwanted telephone call.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Ooma, Inc.Inventors: Tobin E.

Patent number: 7693976Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for granular management of network resources by accessing network device resources through associated references. In one embodiment, the references are group names, and one or more resources (i.e., a resource collection) within each network device in a telecommunications network may be linked with one or more group names. Group names (or other types of references) may then be used to limit a user's access to particular network device resources. That is, a user may only have access to those resources associated with group names to which the user has access. Over time, network device resources may be associated or disassociated with particular group names. As a result, group names provide users with dynamic access to network device resources. In one embodiment, the groups to which a user has access are defined within a user profile associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventors: Thomas R. Perry, James R. Perry, Kevin D. Snow, Darryl Black

Patent number: 7280529Abstract: The present invention provides a method for managing telecommunications networks through user profiles that establish management capabilities and lists of network devices capable of being managed through each user profile. Through profiles, users may be given controlled access to configure network devices, provision services or simply view the network devices, services or portions thereof. For example, customers may be enabled to view services dedicated to their particular networks while being simultaneously prevented from viewing services particular to other customer's networks. This provides security while enabling controlled customer network management. In addition, profiles may be used to limit the management capabilities of network managers to only those network devices and capabilities for which each network manager is responsible and authorized.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: CIENA CorporationInventors: Darryl Black, Kevin D Snow, James R Perry, Thomas R Perry

Patent number: 7124051Abstract: A data link tester comprises a computer capable of a connection with a communications bus in a piece of equipment having at least one component in selective contact with the bus. The computer contains instructions for (1) building a roster comprising at least one identifier of the component and (2) then performing a diagnostic step comprising at least one of (i) analyzing communications received from the communications bus to determine the condition of communications with respect to the component, (ii) determining whether a message that contains the identifier has been received from the communications bus within a specified period of time, and (iii) diagnosing at least one fault condition in CAN communications in the communications bus by performing at least one CAN message check comprising determining whether a CAN message has been received from the communications bus and then performing at least one second diagnostic step. In some embodiments, the piece of equipment is a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Jack D. Patterson, Matthew W. Starks, Steven L. Melvin, Kevin D. Snow, Roger Allen Graves, Jr.
