  • Reversible electronic card and method of implementation thereof
    Patent number: 11350526
    Abstract: There is provided a method for implementing an electronic card. The method can include providing the electronic card with a printed circuit board. The method further includes selecting one of a first side and a second side as a specified side on which only connection hardware is to be mounted. The first side is located at a first x-y plane and the second side is located at a second x-y plane, the first and second x-y planes being separated by a length equal to a thickness of the PCB. The first and second x-y planes are parallel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2022

  • Method of time synchronization of free running nodes in an avionics network
    Patent number: 9001849
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing a local estimation of global network time of a receiving node on a network to a global network time reference is provided. The free running nodes receive precise time protocol synchronization messages and determine a ratio and an offset based on time data extracted from the messages.
