Patent number: 11870838Abstract: A wireless gateway for steering a client device between content streaming apparatuses in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The gateway provides an access point (GW AP) including a gateway steering controller configured to determine whether a client device should be steered to a content streaming apparatus based on at least one sample measurement on received signal strength between the client device and the content streaming apparatus and at least one other content streaming apparatus, and conduct steering logic calculations. The steering logic calculations are compared against predetermined thresholds, and said gateway steering controller provides an instruction to steer the client device to one of the content streaming apparatuses based on a difference between the steering logic calculations and the predetermined thresholds. Optionally, the gateway steering controller may also provide band steering as well as signal strength steering.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: ARRIS ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Jay Strater, Gregory Nakanishi, Michael J.

Patent number: 11706638Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer-readable recording medium perform client optimized onboarding in a wireless network. A network controller of a gateway device determines a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a new client device, receives a second RSSI of the new client device from each of one or more wireless extenders, and determines a strongest RSSI among the determined first RSSI and the received second RSSI from each of the one or more wireless extenders. The network controller of the gateway device receives an onboarding request with respect to any one or the gateway device and the one or more wireless extenders, and sends a command to proceed with an onboarding operation of the new client device to any one of the gateway device and the one or more wireless extenders having the strongest RSSI from the new client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: ARRIS ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Ted R Michaud, Paul Baker, Donald Cochrane, Jay William Strater, Michael J.

Publication number: 20220370204Abstract: A system or method for bioprinting bone graft provides obtaining an image of the patient's oral facial area, and viewed with the image viewing software. A restoratively driven dental implant treatment plan is created to restore the patient's missing dentition. The restoratively driven treatment plan is created. A physical exam, review of a patient's desires and expectations, review of imaging, acquisition and review of patient photographs and intraoral digital impressions. The imaging and digital impressions are aligned, via software to create a virtual representation. The anticipated final implant retained dentures, unitary implant crowns, or implant bridges, are planned to provide optimal esthetic and functional results. Dental implants are then planned for prosthetic anchors. Bone deficiencies are evaluated and if areas of boney deficiency are present, a patient specific bone graft is designed to restore said deficient areas. Once designed, it may be printed via additive manufacturing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventor: Michael J. HARTMAN

Publication number: 20220104885Abstract: A system and method for a tracker arm mount for dynamic navigation is provided. The tracker arm mount accurately adapts to the patient's jawbone and is temporarily secured to the bone with screws engaging the full thickness of the bone. The tracker arm supports an occlusal positioning device and a dental prosthesis. The tracker arm mount is based off digital imaging records. The inner surface is fabricated to closely contour the outer surface, or buccal, contour of the patient's jaw bone. Attachment apertures avoid vital structures and may accept reinforcement collars. Fasteners are placed through the attachment apertures to fixate the mount to the patient's jaw bone. Slots accept corresponding tabs from an occlusal positioning device, interim dental prosthesis, or other device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventor: Michael J.

Patent number: 7489635Abstract: A method and system of congestion control in a network are provided. A required quality of service (QoS) parameter, such as a maximum allowable latency, for a packet received at a queue in the network, and a route cost metric, such as accumulated and estimated latency, are determined, and the packet is either discarded if the route cost metric exceeds the required QoS parameter, or a discard bias value is set for the packet. Also, if the required QoS parameter exceeds the route cost metric, the method includes determining whether a congestion condition exists in the network, and if the congestion condition exists, biasing the packet for discard based on its latency if the route cost metric for the packet exceeds a threshold. The network may be an IP network, and a network such as a mobile ad hoc network (MANET).Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Scott C.

Patent number: 5291431Abstract: An array multiplier using modified Booth encoding of multiplier input signals is formed on the surface of a monolithic integrated circuit using masks generated by a computer, in accordance with a silicon compiler program, by arranging an array of standard cells selected from a library of standard cell designs in a tessellation procedure. The array multiplier is laid out in accordance with one of particular tessellation patterns, which employ simpler and more regular patterns of interconnections between cells. Carry-save addition is used in combining partial product terms to avoid concatenating long ripple carry times.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Chung-Yih Ho, Chi-Yuan Chin, Richard I.
