ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,556,321, issued on Feb. 17, was assigned to KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES INC. (Santa Rosa, Calif.).

"Methods and oscilloscopes for measuring jitter in digital signals" was invented by David L. Gines (Fort Collins, Colo.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for measuring even/odd jitter (EOJ) in digital signals includes receiving a signal under test (SUT), where the SUT includes a waveform of even symbols and odd symbols constituting an even-length test pattern.
