Lee A. Atchison has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9268584
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods are described for dynamically managing requests for computing capacity from a provider of computing resources. Illustratively, the computing resources may include program execution capabilities, data storage or management capabilities, network bandwidth, etc. The systems or methods automatically allocate computing resources for execution of one or more programs associated with the user. The systems and methods may enable the user to make changes to the allocated resources after execution of the one or more programs has started.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016
    Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Lee A. Atchison, Brian A. White, Peter D. Cohen, Peter N. De Santis, Mikhail Garber

  • Patent number: 5361336
    Abstract: A system that defines a programming interface between a computer system and a test instrument independently of the electronic interface or operating system being used. This independence is accomplished by building a data structure, from a configuration system, which contains the operating system and electronic interface information that allows the system to perform different commands to different electronic interfaces or different operating systems. The system implements all commands that will be used by all operating systems and performs these commands even in operating systems where they are not necessary. The system also provides a formatted input/output capability for the instrument control functions. In addition to commonly understood formatting capability, such as conversion and printing of integer numbers, the interface provides instrument specific formatting capability, such as creating numbers that are compatible with the IEEE 488 interface.
