  • Patent number: 8462796
    Abstract: Method for exchanging information among digital units in a distributed system, with digital units being defined by at least a master node and slave nodes, involves transferring information references from a master node to slave nodes, the information references being sampled with sampling time corresponding to a cycle time period defined by a clock value of the master node. The method also involves estimating the number of the information references sampled arrived to the slave node from the master nodes during a periodic reference time interval, and using the number to recalculate the master clock value, so that the slave nodes are able to reconstruct master node information references during a following reference time interval.

  • Publication number: 20090097504
    Abstract: Method for exchanging information among digital units in a distributed system, with digital units being defined by at least a master node and slave nodes, comprising the step of transferring information references from said master node to said slave nodes, said information references being sampled with sampling time corresponding to a cycle time period defined by clock value of said master node; wherein the method comprises further steps of estimating the number of said information references sampled arrived to said slave node from said master node during a periodic reference time interval, and using said number to recalculate the master clock value, so that said slave nodes are able to reconstruct master node information reference during a following reference time interval.
