Patents by Inventor Raymond Washburn

Raymond Washburn 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: 10122590
    Abstract: A network tracing engine is configured to trace and depict a topology (i.e., a network configuration) of a network using, for example, a network diagram. The network tracing engine preferably queries/telnets to interfaces of routers associated with one or more source-to-destination paths in a network concurrently and independently to ensure proper configuration of the routers and/or to generate a true depiction of a routing configuration without redundantly querying routers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9079215
    Abstract: Present invention describes a patterned and coated micro- and nano-scale fibers elastomeric material for enhanced adhesion in wet or dry environments. A multi-step fabrication process including optical lithography, micromolding, polymer synthesis, dipping, stamping, and photopolymerization is described to produce uniform arrays of micron-scale fibers with mushroom-shaped tips coated with a thin layer of an intrinsically adhesive synthetic polymer, such as lightly crosslinked p(DMA-co-MEA).

  • Patent number: 8036141
    Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server comprising a controller to capture routing data representative of routing changes associated with a plurality of networks, and compare the routing changes to detect discrepancies in route lists associated with the plurality of networks. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5920188
    Abstract: A voltage measurement instrument such as a digital multimeter is provided with transient overvoltage input protection. Internal walls are integrally molded with the instrument case and disposed in close proximity to the input receptacles and terminals to separate conductive surfaces and provide transient overvoltage barriers. Top and bottom wall portions are fitted together in tongue-and-groove fashion to increase the creepage and clearance path without increasing the linear distance between conductive surfaces. This arrangement also allows the instrument to maintain a low profile.
