Patents by Inventor William Richard Kelly

William Richard Kelly 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: 8135100
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive clock and equalization control are provided for data receivers, which are based on a “closed loop” sampling clock framework that employs controllable and dynamically adapted time offsets on both local data and amplitude clocks. The controllable clock offsets are dynamically adapted using signal processing methods adapted to achieve optimum sampling of data and amplitude sampling clock signals to accurately detect data bits and optimize system equalization settings, including, decision-feedback equalizer and/or an optional linear equalizer preceding a decision-feedback equalizer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8000384
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method and an apparatus for data decorrelation in a line equalizer adaptive system. The apparatus comprises an input and an output, forming a data path there between, wherein the input capable of receiving data to create received data and the output capable of sending data. The apparatus further comprises an adaptive equalizer capable of equalizing the received data, connected to the data path, and a synchronous decorrelator connected to the data path, in communication with the adaptive equalizer, wherein the synchronous decorrelator evaluates an adapt enable output for each received data input to the adaptive equalizer to determine whether the adaptive equalizer can update settings of the line equalizer adaptive system.
