  • Publication number: 20220123849
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for measuring and compensating for clock drift errors in time-aware networks and time-sensitive applications, where a time-aware system (TAS) measures clock drift, and compensates for the measured clock drift, and makes predictions of future clock drift values based on history and other physical measurements. Existing messages used for measuring link delay and/or used for time synchronization can be used for frequency measurement (and thus clock drift measurement), and this measured drift can be applied as a correction factor whenever synchronization is determined and/or used. The predicted clock drift rate can be based on various probability distributions including linear, Kalman filters, and/or others. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10635540
    Abstract: Save and synchronization status information is provided. The save and synchronization status information may be concise yet informative to a user and may provide an indication of the current save state of the document: “saved,” “dirty,” or “saving.” The indication of the current save state may be displayed in a consistent and reliable spot such that the user may reliably know where to look to find the document's save status. Other save states may be included, such as offline or error. The indication may be selectable, such that when selected, the user may see additional save and synchronization status detail, and may be enabled to rename the document.

  • Patent number: 7603625
    Abstract: A technique for supporting a user of a first device coupled to a second device of a support agent. A current screen image of the first device is sent to the second device. The second device displays the current screen image of the first device. The agent device determines the position of an input icon to be displayed on the current screen image, and the position is sent to the first device. The first device displays an input icon on the current screen image on the first device based on the position. The second device also determines how the user should operate the input icon on the first device. Corresponding operation information is transferred to the first device.

  • Patent number: 7042803
    Abstract: A marine acoustic source system has relativley densely packed energy sources arrayed in a tandem-like fashion along a horizontal plane. Preferably, a longitudinal axis of each source lies orthogonal to a pre-determined towing direction. The system includes protective tubes that encloses supply lines and auxiliary equipment, and a harness. The harness provides the primary mechanical connection for towing the sources through the water. To minimize bending of the supply lines, connectors having angular portions connect the sources to the supply lines. Further, the sources can be arranged such that source connection interfaces for receiving power, hydraulic fluid, or data point alternately in opposing directions. During use, the sources, e.g., air guns, are supported at a predetermined depth beneath the water's surface by a floatation buoy. Upon activation, the sources of a cluster each release individual air bubbles into the water.

  • Patent number: 6912662
    Abstract: In a computer system, a user action can cause a computer program to perform actions which may destroy data stored on the computer or on an associated computer. User actions are managed to reduce this possibility by testing the consequences of the user action and if the consequences of the user action are benign, the user action is completed. If the consequences are not benign, a delay period prior to completing the user action is initiated. During this delay period, the user is able to cancel the user action.

  • Patent number: 6738628
    Abstract: Objects can be tracked within a building using a radio device associated with each object to be tracked and an array of transmitting beacons. Each of the beacons transmits identification data. The received identification data from the object to be tracked is sent to a server which determines the location of the object. The identification data may be sent from the object to the server using a data communications network such as a local area network. The beacons may have a variable power output allowing the receipt or non-receipt of the signal from the beacon to be used to assist in locating the object. The beacons may be associated with an existing wireless communication mechanism, such as Bluetooth.

  • Patent number: 6658435
    Abstract: A method for backing up data stored using a filing system on a computer non-volatile storage device is described. First pre-defined signature data is written, using the filing system, to substantially all of the unused portion of the computer non-volatile storage device. The data stored on the computer non-volatile storage device is then backed up, independent of the filing system. Data consisting of the first pre-defined signature is not backed up. In this manner, a backup is completed without access to the filing system, but which backs up only portions of the non-volatile storage medium which are in use.
