Patents by Inventor Timothy Barilovits

Timothy Barilovits 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).

  • Wireless communication system
    Patent number: 7130582
    Abstract: A communication link is established between wireless communication devices when an audio tone emitted by a first device is detected by a second device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2006
    Inventor: Timothy Barilovits
  • Method and apparatus for sliding window link physical error detection
    Patent number: 6745353
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for link physical error tracking that includes a one or more shift registers, one or more counters, and a comparator. The shift register receives one or more status bits for an input data stream denoting whether bytes of the input data stream have a link physical error. The counter increments an error count when receiving at least one status bit that denotes a link physical error, and decrements the error count when receiving at least one status bit from an output of the shift register that denotes a link physical error. The comparator compares the error count with a maximum value. A retrain signal is generated if the error count becomes larger than or equal to the maximum value. The retrain signal may be used to signal that a connection between two nodes needs to be retrained to get the two nodes back into synchronization. Link physical errors that occur aligned and misaligned with a rising edge of a symbol clock are trackable.
