Publication number: 20240077925Abstract: Circuits, systems and methods are provided. A circuit includes a subsystem, an interface, and a debugger. The interface includes power processing and management (PPM) circuitry coupled to the subsystem, and arbitration logic coupled to the PPM circuitry. In operation, the debugger issues a debug request to the arbitration logic to perform a debug operation on the subsystem, and, in response to the debug request, the arbitration logic provides an interrupt associated with the subsystem to the PPM circuitry. The PPM circuitry, in response to the interrupt and a determination that the subsystem is OFF, powers on the subsystem and provides a notification to the arbitration logic indicating that the subsystem is ON. The PPM circuitry also receives a notification from the arbitration logic that the debug operation related to the debug request is complete, and powers off the subsystem in response to that notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Jose Luis FLORES, Gary Augustine COOPER, Amritpal Singh MUNDRA, Anthony LELL, Jason Lynn PECK

Publication number: 20210295444Abstract: A system and method allows an insurance agent to plan and manage business goals related to his or her business. After receiving a business goal from the insurance agent, the system and method automatically identifies a set of activities that needs to be carried out by the insurance agent in order to achieve the business goal. The system and method then monitors and tracks actions performed by the insurance agent on the set of activities. Based on the actions performed, the systems and method determines a performance trend that indicates whether or not the business goal can be achieved. The system and method may send a message to notify or warn the insurance agent if the performance trend indicates that the business goal cannot be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2019Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Erick Hossley, Lawrence Paul English, Andrew J.

Patent number: 10637599Abstract: Embodiments providing improved systems and methods deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting optical physical layer networks are needed. A baseline may be created and performance data is extracted. The performance data is compared against user-defined rules to determine an appropriate action. In one embodiment, networks are first constructed in a specialized network factory, where they are racked, provisioned, audited, and tested by relevant experts in each technology. In another embodiment, a method isolates a problem in an optical transport network. When a problem is identified, the layers are repeatedly evaluated to identify the device operating at the lowest layer where an error occurs. That device is identified as being likely faulty.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: LIGHTRIVER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Timothy Wayne Masse, John Lynn Cooper, Travis Duane Ewert, Francis Santitoro, Michael Leddy, James Faraci

Patent number: 7992850Abstract: A method for operating an electromagnetic lift that includes a generator-driven electromagnet comprises adjusting a position of the electromagnet, in response to a first position command. Upon receiving a lift command, an output power level of a generator is established at a predetermined level above a predefined normal power level. In response to an excess release command, the output power level is set to a first predetermined level below the normal power level. In response to a transport command, the output power level is established as approximately the normal power level. Upon receiving a release command, the output power level is established at a second predetermined level below the normal power level.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Xiaojun Zhang, Timothy Lynn Cooper, James Ivan Portscheller

Patent number: 7564662Abstract: A method for protecting against current overload conditions associated with an electromagnetic lift system comprises receiving current data from a current monitoring device associated with an electromagnetic lift system. The method also includes determining a current level based on the collected current data, and identifying a predetermined overload range corresponding to the current level if the current level exceeds an overload current threshold. The method also includes monitoring a time that the current level is within the predetermined overload range, and providing a command signal to an actuator associated with the electromagnetic lift system if the time that the current level is within the predetermined overload range exceeds a predetermined time limit. The command signal causes the actuator to substantially limit mechanical power provided to a generator associated with the electromagnetic lift system.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Xiaojun Zhang, Timothy Lynn Cooper, James Ivan Portscheller, Naga Raja Rao Mosam, Michael Lee Ferguson, Jr.

Patent number: 7456105Abstract: This disclosure describes a low particle concentration formulation for slurry which is particularly useful in continuous CMP polishing of copper layers during semiconductor wafer manufacture. The slurry is characterized by particle concentrations generally less than 2 wt %, and advantageously less than 1 wt %. In particular embodiments, where the particle concentration is in a range of 50 to 450 PPM, an 8-fold increase in polishing rate over reactive liquid slurries has been realized. Slurries thus formulated also achieve a reduction in defectivity and in the variations in planarity from wafer to wafer during manufacture, by improving the stability of polishing quality. The slurry formulations permit substantial cost savings over traditional 2-component, reactive liquid and fixed/bonded abrasive slurries. In addition the formulations provides an advantageous way during CMP to easily change the selectivity or rate of removal of one film material vs. another.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignees: AMD, Inc., Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Elliot Cooper, Jennifer Lynn Cooper, Janos Farkas, John C.

Publication number: 20060257803Abstract: A gas valve (22) control system (10) for a heater includes a burner (26) and a valve (22) that has a high flow stage and a low flow stage. The valve (22) supplies fuel to the burner (26) in the high flow stage until the burner (26) is ignited. While operating in the high flow stage, an inducer (24) that supplies combustion air to the burner (26) operates in a high speed stage. The valve (22) and the inducer (24) are controlled by a controller (12). A timer (28) is used to coordinate the valve (22) and the inducer (24) such that after a predetermined amount of time, the valve (22) switches to a low flow stage and the inducer (24) switches to a low speed stage. This is to provide the burner (26) with more fuel and combustion air while igniting and to reduce condensation in the heater.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: Maxitrol CompanyInventors: John Schlachter, Lynn Cooper

Patent number: 5312282Abstract: The invention relates to a baby bottle structure forming a doll. The baby bottle comprises a central fluid receptacle having a nipple portion at one end and a bottom portion at the opposing end. A removable cover is snapped about the nipple portion and forms the head of a doll. A removable bottom portion is attachable to the central fluid receptacle of the bottle and creates the feet portion of the doll. The feet of the doll are formed in such a way as to support the bottle in an upright position. The removable bottom support structure houses a music module that may be activated by tilting the baby bottle. The bottom portion also provides a housing for enclosing an independent pacifier. Thus, the baby bottle forms a musical doll and provides means for carrying a pacifier within its body structure. A bib is provided with the baby bottle doll and supports the baby bottle about the neck of an infant. A rattle or rattles may be removably attachable to the bib and form arms of the doll.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1992Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Inventor: Lynn Cooper
