Patent number: 9274911Abstract: A method for using shared pins in a concurrent test execution environment is disclosed. The method relates to scheduling tests in concurrently executing test flows for automated test equipment (ATE) in a way so that resources can be shared between the test flows. The method comprises determining if any of a plurality of splits used by a first test contains at least one resource that is shared, wherein the first test and a second test are sequenced for execution in two separate concurrently executing test flows. The method further comprises determining if the first test should execute before the second test if the split is associated with resources required by both the second and first tests. Finally the method comprises reserving the split containing the at least one shared resource for access by the first test before beginning execution of the first test.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: ADVANTEST CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Elston, Harsanjeet Singh, Ankan Pramanick, Leon Lee Chen, Hironori Maeda, Chandra Pinjala, Ramachandran Krishnaswamy

Patent number: 8714113Abstract: A bark deterrent apparatus with an internal vibration sensor. The probeless bark deterrent apparatus uses an internal mechanical vibration sensor that detects vibrations induced in the housing. The probeless bark deterrent apparatus eliminates the external probe used in conventional bark deterrent devices to pick up vibrations at the dog's throat and communicate them to a mechanical vibration sensor to be eliminated while still allowing accurate bark detection.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2008Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Radio Systems CorporationInventors: Albert Leon Lee, IV, Patrick Allan Tyndall, David Alan Weston

Patent number: 8342134Abstract: A bark control device for deterring a dog from barking. The bark control device includes a vibration dampening material forming or covering at least a portion of the bark control device housing. The vibration dampening material reduces the transfer of vibrations through the bark control device housing by reducing the vibrations to levels undetectable by a bark sensor, by preventing the production of vibrations having characteristics sufficiently similar to a bark, and/or by inhibiting the propagation of such vibrations through the bark control device housing. The vibration dampening material of the housing reduces the occurrence of corrections to the dog due to vibrations emanating from a source other than a bark by the dog.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Radio Systems CorporationInventors: Albert Leon Lee, IV, William S.

Patent number: 7996983Abstract: An animal training apparatus including an electrical conductor embedded within a flexible member, and a housing having a through-opening for receiving the electrical conductor therethrough. The flexible member is molded around the electrical conductor and the antenna, while the electrical conductor is positioned such that it extends into the housing through the through-opening. As a result of the molding process, the flexible member shields the housing through-opening, discouraging substances such as water from accessing the interior of the housing via the through-opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Radio Systems CorporationInventors: Albert Leon Lee, IV, William S.

Patent number: 7834769Abstract: An animal deterrent mat with animal detection capability. The animal deterrent mat produces a detection pulse that is attenuated when an object makes contact with the animal deterrent mat. The animal deterrent mat monitors the amplitude of the detection pulse and compares the measured detection pulse amplitude to one or more threshold values. When the amplitude of the detection pulse is below an upper threshold corresponding to the attenuated signal caused by an animal making contact with the animal deterrent mat and, optionally, above lower threshold corresponding to the attenuated signal caused by another object making contact with the animal deterrent mat, such as a human, a deterrent pulse selected to deter the animal from crossing or remaining on the animal deterrent mat is generated. When the amplitude of the detection pulse is below the optional lower threshold, no deterrent stimulus is generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Radio Systems CorporationInventors: David Anthony Hinkle, Albert Leon Lee, IV, Steven M.

The garment has a plurality of restrictor bands (24 to 30; 124 to 130) of elastic material extending, in use, over muscles of the body to be worked, whereby during activity involving movement which stretches said muscles the bands are stretched to provide resistance against said movement. The bands are integrated into the garment and include a two bands (24, 26; 124, 126) which extend continuously across the chest region and cross over in the chest region, and two bands (28, 30; 128, 130) which extend continuously across the back region and cross over in the back region. The crossover (36; 136) in the chest region is positioned higher than the crossover (38; 138) in the back region.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Inventors: Maurice A.

Patent number: 7621233Abstract: Described is an animal waste product notification device for detecting the occurrence of an animal excreting animal waste product at a defined location, containing the waste product such that the animal cannot track the waste product from the defined location, and notifying a local or remote individual of the occurrence. The animal waste product notification device includes a grate, a bin, and a notification device. The grate includes a detector that is responsive to fluidic animal waste product such that when the waste product passes through apertures defined by the grate, the detector generates a detection signal. When the detector generates the detection signal, the notification device notifies a user of the animal waste product notification device. The bin defines a receptacle that receives the waste product after it passes through the grate.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2007Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Radio Systems CorporationInventors: Ricky L.
