Introduction

Anand Rajamani is an inventor based in San Jose, California, and is associated with Cisco Technology, Inc. His patent work addresses detecting whether a cover is in place over a slot in a network device.

Latest Patents

Rajamani is credited with 1 patent: “Time-of-flight based cover detection for network devices.” The invention describes a network device housing with a slot for a module and a time-of-flight sensor positioned to detect the presence or absence of a cover. The sensor’s emitter and receiver have a line of sight to the cover’s location, while connected processors use sensor data to determine the distance to a target and infer whether the slot is covered.

Career Highlights

The patent highlights Rajamani’s work on applying time-of-flight sensing to network-device design. By enabling a device to detect whether a slot is covered, the disclosed approach provides a way to determine the cover’s status using sensor measurements and processing.

Collaborations

Rajamani’s listed coworkers include Abhishek Gubbi Basavaraj and Frank Xavier Romero. His patent is associated with Cisco Technology, Inc.

Conclusion

Anand Rajamani’s patent presents a sensor-based method for detecting slot-cover status in network devices, reflecting an application of time-of-flight technology to equipment design.
