Patents by Inventor Ruben Villarino-Villa

Ruben Villarino-Villa 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: 11288146
    Abstract: A method for recovering a clock signal from a data signal by using a clock recovery module is described. Edge timings of the data signal are accumulated. The edge timings accumulated are transformed into one reference bit period. A time offset for the reference bit period is determined. A reference clock signal is determined based on the time offset. The number of bits within a system clock of the clock recovery module is determined. The clock signal is recovered based on the reference clock signal and the number of bits. Further, a clock recovery module as well as a computer program are described.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10153893
    Abstract: An analysis device for analyzing a data signal in an electronic system comprises a signal input for receiving the data signal, a memory unit to buffer the data signal, a signal decoder which is coupled to the memory unit and decodes frames of the data signal, an identification unit coupled to the decoder for identifying a number of the frames and/or at least one sub-frame of the frames which comply with a predetermined frame content condition, and a signal processor which is coupled to the memory unit and processes the data signal according to the identified at least one frame or sub-frame and according to respective timing information.

  • Patent number: 8625729
    Abstract: A method for the recovery of a clock signal from a data signal, wherein the edges of the data signal and the clock signal are each presented by an ordered sequence of timing points, comprising determining missing edges in the sequence of data-signal edges, inserting new data-signal edges (Dx) into the sequence of data-signal edges to obtain a completed sequence of data-signal edges, and recovering the clock signal from the completed sequence of data-signal edges. The detection of missing edges in the sequence of data-signal edges is based on a prediction of the clock signal (FRONT CLOCK).

  • Patent number: 8208594
    Abstract: A method for the recovery of a clock signal from a data signal is provided where the edges of the signals are each represented as a chronologically-ordered sequence of timing points. In one procedural stage, a plurality of timing points of the data signal are processed in parallel as follows: resolving the timing points of the data signal by a nominal clock pulse; estimating the bit-period deviations for the adjusted timing points; and injecting the nominal clock pulse to the estimated bit-period deviations.
