Abstract: A method for manufacturing a guide roller for hot wire rolling includes the steps of providing a guide roller made of an Al alloy, the guide roller including a wire guiding surface, and applying a coating onto at least a part of the wire guiding surface by a metallic wire Direct Energy Deposition (DED) operation and/or a metallic powder DED operation.

Abstract: A computer system and method for synchronizing actions associated with media between a media/network device and peripherals. In an example implementation, a system includes a one or more processors configured to receive, by a communication module from a media/network device based on peripheral addressing information, a peripheral payload including a first set of actions and timing information related to media. The one or more processors perform the first set of actions based on the peripheral payload, generate response data for the first set of actions, and transmit the response data to the media/network device via a wireless network.

Abstract: There is provided a GNSS independent method for asymmetry delay error compensation to minimize a time difference bias when using two-way time transfer in a communication network. The method includes establishing a bidirectional virtual path comprising at least one link path, LP1-LP4, over the network for communication between a first node A and a second node B by sending a bidirectional data stream over the virtual path and utilizing previously stored link profiles associated with a delay correction factor or a calibrated virtual path or a stable local clock in holdover mode to provide new delay correction factor to minimize a time difference bias in the local time in the second node.
