Introduction
Stephen A. Wiley is an accomplished inventor based in Arvada, CO (US). He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his expertise in diagnostic testing and fault isolation systems. His work has significantly contributed to advancements in computing and network technologies.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for diagnostic test innovation." This invention provides a method and system for performing diagnostic testing to expedite the computer boot process. The process begins with initiating a boot and reading an error counter value from various computing subsystems. The error counter values are then compared to predefined error thresholds. This method identifies subsets of subsystems with error counters exceeding these thresholds and performs diagnostic tests only on these specific subsystems during the boot process. Additionally, the system includes a mechanism for identifying subsystems that have been in service for less than a predefined time threshold.
Another notable patent is the "System and method for rapid fault isolation in a storage area network." This invention is designed to identify errors in the transmission of command, data, and response packets within a network, such as a storage area network (SAN). The system maintains a count of errors detected by various packet-receiving components and alters the EOF (end-of-file) delimiter for packets with counted errors. This allows other components to ignore those packets, thereby enhancing the efficiency of fault identification.
