| 7372846 | Method for transmitting time information via a data packet network Time information which is to be transmitted via a data packet network is called up from a time information source and is transmitted to a data packet transmission module. The data packet transmission module controls the transmission time of a data packet in which th... | 05/13/2008 |
| 7349512 | Clock synchronization in a distributed system The present invention provides an improved clock synchronization algorithm for a distributed system intended for real time applications by performing at the same time an off-set correction and a clock read correction at each node of the distributed system. Expensive... | 03/25/2008 |
| 7327699 | Method and device for synchronisation of distant clocks to a central clock via satellite The invention relates to a method and a device for synchronizing one or more remote clocks (2) to a central clock (1) via a bi-directional satellite radio link (9.1, 9.2). Time and data signals are exchanged via suitable transmitting (8, 12 | 02/05/2008 |
| 7283568 | Methods, systems and computer program products for synchronizing clocks of nodes on a computer network Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for synchronizing clocks in a computer network. A first node clock is synchronized to a second node clock by establishing an initial value of a virtual second node clock at the first node. The initial value... | 10/16/2007 |
| 7251199 | Distributed system time synchronization including a timing signal path A distributed system with a timing signal path for increased precision in time synchronization among distributed system clocks. A distributed system according to the present teachings includes a master clock coupled to a timing signal path and a set of slave clocks ... | 07/31/2007 |
| 7200766 | Method and system for the distributed synchronization of users of a communications link A method and a system for synchronizing at least two users are described, each user to be synchronized containing its own timer, and the users being connected by at least one communications link, at least one event being transmitted for synchronization on the commun... | 04/03/2007 |
| 7190963 | Method for performing frequency synchronization of a base station and a network part The invention relates to a method for performing frequency synchronization of a base station, and to a network part. In the method, the following operations are performed: maintaining a reference clock in a network element of the cellular radio network; generating a... | 03/13/2007 |
