Patents by Inventor Matthew Swoboda

Matthew Swoboda 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: 11995977
    Abstract: A monitor circuit is configured to receive sensor data samples at a first bit rate. The monitor circuit includes a sensor data processing circuit that is coupled to a sensor node and is configured to generate a sensor data characteristic signal for each sensor data sample. The sensor data characteristic signal for a particular sensor data sample indicates a value of a monitored parameter of the particular sensor data sample. The monitor circuit also includes a fault trigger circuit configured to determine, based on the sensor data characteristic signal, whether the sensor data samples satisfy a fault trigger. The monitor circuit further includes a summarization circuit configured to generate a sensor data summary signal based on the sensor data characteristic signal. The sensor data summary signal is provided to a summary output node at a second bit rate that is less than the first bit rate.
