  • Patent number: 8669985
    Abstract: An assessment results viewer displays the results of assessments that quantify the performance of an aspect of a computing device. The viewer presents both an overview of the collected data and mechanisms for displaying ever-increasing details, including raw data itself. The viewer further provides actionable information to the user that can offer the user guidance, or otherwise suggest potential courses of action. The viewer automatically aggregates multiple iterations of the same assessment to generate derivative overview data, and automatically aligns data collected by the same assessment across multiple job files. Such aggregation and alignment is performed by reference to metadata, including identifying information. Data can be presented in tabular form, and users can pivot along different axis to focus on groupings of data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7514998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reference current circuit. The reference circuit comprises a low-level current bias circuit, a voltage proportional-to-absolute temperature generator for creating a proportional-to-absolute temperature voltage (VPTAT), and a MOSFET-based constant-IC regulator circuit. The MOSFET-based constant-IC regulator circuit includes a constant-IC input and constant-IC output. The constant-IC input is electrically connected with the VPTAT generator such that the voltage proportional-to-absolute temperature is the input into the constant-IC regulator circuit. Thus the constant-IC output maintains the constant-IC ratio across any temperature range.

  • Publication number: 20070211864
    Abstract: A system for integration and testing of remote telephone loops allows the integration of remote telephone units to a serving switch located in a different central office facility. The remote integration provides integration of voice and data services, as well as a mechanized loop testing capability. Test signals may be provided via transport facilities from the serving switch to the remote terminal so that remote telephone loops can be tested and results passed to the metallic test bus unit of the serving switch.
