Patents by Inventor Roger Paul TOUTANT

Roger Paul TOUTANT 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: 10678297
    Abstract: A digital state device may include a first circuit terminal that obtains a clock signal from a first integrated circuit. The digital state device may further include a second circuit terminal that transmits the clock signal to a second integrated circuit. The digital state device may further include digital logic circuitry coupled to the first circuit terminal and the second circuit terminal. In response to obtaining an in-band notification signal in reverse of the clock signal and from the second integrated circuit, the digital logic circuitry sets the clock signal to a first predetermined value. In response to the digital logic circuitry determining that the clock signal exceeds a predetermined amount of time at the first predetermined value, the digital logic circuitry sets the clock signal to a second predetermined value that is different from the first predetermined value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9864825
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for manipulation of dynamic symbols for devices in an electrical schematic include: receiving a placement of a dynamic symbol in a schematic, wherein the dynamic symbol represents an instance of an electrical device in the schematic and is separate from a symbol library; receiving an assignment of nets to pins of the dynamic symbol instance; performing a manipulation of the pins based on a logical grouping, wherein the dynamic symbol instance supports dynamic reconfiguration of the pins via the manipulation while retaining pin information from a base symbol in the symbol library; and visually presenting the dynamic symbol instance with the manipulated pins according to the logical grouping.

  • Publication number: 20170220721
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for dynamic symbols for devices in an electrical schematic include receiving placement of a dynamic symbol in a schematic, wherein the dynamic symbol represents an electrical device in the schematic and is selected from a symbol library; receiving assignment of nets to pins of the dynamic symbol; performing manipulation of the pins based on a logical grouping, wherein the dynamic symbol supports dynamic reconfiguration of the pins via the manipulation while retaining pin information from a base symbol in the symbol library; and visually presenting the dynamic symbol with the manipulated pins.
