Abstract: A lock-detection circuit detects whether a first clock signal is frequency locked to a second clock signal. A lock-detection scheme that continuously evaluates the lock condition between the clock signals and as programmable frequency-offset tolerances for reporting lock acquisition and loss. A quadrature clock generator produces two periodic signals from the first clock signal. The periodic signals are in quadrature, which is to say they are misaligned with one another by ninety degrees. These quadrature signals are sampled on edges of the second clock signal to produce a sequence of states that exhibit a Gray-code progression if first and second clock signals are locked. Errors in the Gray-code progression indicate whether edges of the first clock signal are early or late with respect to the second clock signal. The lock-detection circuit is adjustable to indicate loss of lock under in dependence upon the temporal spacing of errors.

Abstract: An example implementation may involve a computing system receiving, from a media playback system, a request to initiate playback of a cloud queue. The cloud queue may currently have a first access status that authorizes a first set of queue operations, which may include playback of the cloud queue. After receiving the request to initiate playback, the computing system may cause audio tracks of the cloud queue to be queued in a local queue of the media playback system such that the media playback system may playback audio tracks of the cloud queue via the local queue. The computing system may modify the access status of the cloud queue to a second access status. This second access status may authorize a second set of queue operations on the cloud queue. The computing system may cause access to the local queue to be restricted to the second set of queue operations.

Abstract: A tracking system monitors operating conditions of a first wireless access point through which a mobile communication device communicates with a gateway. The gateway and the first wireless access point support a session of data flows between the mobile communication device and a remote network. Based on the monitored operating conditions of the wireless access point, the controller associated with the tracking system dynamically generates control settings to control the session of data flows through the gateway. The controller applies the control settings to the gateway to control communications associated with the session of data flows between the remote network and the mobile communication device. The controller applies different control settings under different operating conditions and/or as the mobile communication device uses different wireless access points to communicate through the gateway to the remote network.
