Abstract: A system includes a first module with a first clock; a second module with a second clock; and an Ethernet network interconnecting the first module and the second module by N Ethernet paths, N?2; wherein the first module is configured to provide timestamps encapsulated in replicated Ethernet packets to the second module over each of the N Ethernet paths for redundancy. The first module can be configured to obtain timestamps from a first clock with each timestamp having a sequence identifier, replicate each timestamp and its sequence identifier, and encapsulate each replicated timestamp and its sequence identifier in an Ethernet packet and transmit each Ethernet packet over one of the N Ethernet paths. The second module can be configured to receive Ethernet packets over the N Ethernet paths; and utilize a first Ethernet packet with a given sequence identifier for synchronization of the second clock with the first clock.

Abstract: Shielding articles are disclosed. One shielding article includes a fire retardancy element/fire propagation reduction element, which includes a pair of flexible graphite outer layers and a core, where the flexible graphite outer layers are on opposing sides of the core. The core may include one or more fire retardant elements or insulation materials. Also disclosed are battery packs that include the shielding articles. The shielding articles can be applied in any system that reduced fire propagation would be desirable.

Abstract: Assemblies having multi-functionalities of any combination of heat spreading, absorption of stray radiation, signal focusing, and shielding are provided. The assemblies may include a heat spreading layer of at least one sheet of a compressed particles of exfoliated graphite, graphitized polymers and combinations thereof. The assemblies may also include at least one magnetic layer, which may provide the benefits of magnetic flux management and/or stray radiation absorption. The assemblies may include an optional plastic coating on one or both of the exterior surfaces. The assemblies may be used to enable fast wireless charging of electronic devices by efficiently focusing magnetic flux for better power transmission efficiency.
