Title: Innovations of Nicholas J Molloy

Introduction

Nicholas J Molloy is a notable inventor based in Haverhill, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of digital signal processing, holding a total of 3 patents. His work primarily focuses on improving the performance of digital signal desynchronizers.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the "Synchronous digital signal to asynchronous digital signal desynchronizer." This invention enhances jitter performance in desynchronizers that convert synchronous digital signals, such as SONET STS-1 signals, into asynchronous digital signals, like DS3 signals. The improved jitter performance is achieved through a unique dynamic bit leaking arrangement combined with a digital phase locked loop and a desynchronizing elastic store. The invention optimizes the bit leak interval by strategically leaking a greater number of shorter interval STS-1 bits compared to the received pointer adjustment bits. Additionally, it minimizes the effects of random pointer adjustments by utilizing a 'static' queue of pointer adjustment bits, ensuring that there are always bits available to be leaked at the desired optimum interval.
