Patent number: 11095560Abstract: Technologies for Ethernet gateway congestion management in HPC architectures include a high-performance computing (HPC) switch with an Ethernet gateway that is configured to receive an HPC packet from an HPC fabric via a virtual lane (VL) of the Ethernet gateway. The Ethernet gateway is further configured to determine whether the HPC packet corresponds to a backward error correction notification (BECN), identify one or more priority code points (PCPs) of the HPC packet corresponding to a BECN as a function of the VL on which the HPC packet was received, and generate an Ethernet priority-based flow control (PFC) frame that includes the one or more identified PCPs in a header of the Ethernet PFC frame. Additionally, the Ethernet gateway is configured to transmit the Ethernet PFC frame to an Ethernet fabric as a function of the one or more identified PCPs. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Gary Muntz, Robert Zak, Thomas Lovett, Michael A. Parker

Patent number: 7966034Abstract: A mobile communications device has a wireless transceiver to facilitate communications, memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to analyze an audio file stored in the memory, and extract or generate synchronizing information from the audio file. The processor synchronizes one or more complementary multi-media effects, such as lights, a camera, or a tactile feedback generator, with the audio file based on the synchronizing information. Alternatively, a user may input synchronizing information about the audio file via an interface on the communications device. The processor may then control the complementary multi-media effects in synchronization with the input synchronizing information.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: John W.

The method includes establishing a communication link between a mobile device and an electronic device. Detecting a synchronization condition by the mobile device, wherein the synchronization condition is a transfer of data from the electronic device to the mobile device and the data includes a plurality of fields. The data to be transferred is compared to a corresponding field on the mobile device. If the data to be transferred exceeds a maximum data size, the data is parsed to preserve data having a predefined format.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2008Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS ABInventor: Robert A.

Patent number: 7483692Abstract: A method of predicting user input to a mobile terminal is presented. The mobile terminal creates a raw user input data record comprised of input to the mobile terminal. A contextual data record is appended to the raw user input data record and both are stored. Another process processes the records contained in the raw user input database to identify repetitive patterns of user input. Identified patterns are stored in a recognized input pattern database. The mobile terminal then monitors current input and compares it to the repetitive patterns stored in the recognized input pattern database. Upon matching the current input to a repetitive pattern within a specified tolerance, the mobile terminal prompts the user to allow the mobile terminal to complete the process of inputting the data.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2005Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: Robert A.

Publication number: 20050077368Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a health status of a water heating device is disclosed. The water heating device may have a controller that incorporates logic to regulate the heater responsive to water temperatures detected at different areas within the water heating device by first and second sensors. Unfortunately, the first and second sensors may fail. To detect fault conditions or otherwise determine the heath status of the water heating device, a logic unit in the controller may perform a test on the first and/or second sensors so as to provide a test output. The logic unit may also determine whether the test output satisfies one or more predetermined thresholds. These predetermined thresholds may be indicative of a properly-functioning sensor. When the test output does not satisfy the at least one predetermined threshold, the logic unit may then set a fault condition indicative of improperly functioning sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2004Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Robert Zak, Douglas Bird, Brent Chian

Patent number: 6829253Abstract: Methods and systems for a transceiver to acquire synchronization to a channel in a TDMA communications system by identifying a known synchronization word in a burst received at the transceiver over the channel are provided. Pursuant to these methods and systems a first uncertainty window and a second uncertainty window are defined within a burst that is received over the channel. The transceiver may search in these uncertainty windows for the known synchronization word, where the first uncertainty window is smaller than the second uncertainty window. The first uncertainty window is first searched for the known synchronization word. It may then be determined if the known synchronization word has been located within the first uncertainty window. If it has not been, the second uncertainty window is then searched for the known synchronization word.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventors: Havish Koorapaty, Robert A.

Patent number: 6625227Abstract: An artificial ramping waveform profile is applied to a burst transmission power amplifier in order to reduce transients. A profile source is supplied with a plurality of pre-determined artificial ramping profiles. At the beginning of the burst transmission ramping period, one of the artificial ramping profiles is selected and fed to the power amplifier. The selection of the artificial ramping profile is based at least in part on the first message symbol of the message to be burst transmitted. Preferably, each different possible first message symbol has its own unique corresponding artificial ramping profile, and the corresponding waveform is used to artificially ramp the power amplifier when that message symbol is the first message symbol. At the end of the ramping period, the inputs to the power amplifier are switched to the traditional signal source, such as the FIR filters, etc., for receipt of the message symbols.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventors: Eric A.

Publication number: 20020198708Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a vocoder operative in a speech active mode and a speech inactive mode. In speech active mode, the mobile terminal encodes an input signal to generate a coded speech signal. In a speech inactive mode, the vocoder generates comfort noise parameters for transmission by the mobile terminal. During a FACCH-in-progress condition, override logic forces the vocoder into a speech active mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2001Publication date: December 26, 2002Inventors: Robert A.
