Abstract: An electronic device may exchange packets with a second electronic device. These packets may include transmit times, based on a given clock in a given electronic device when the packets were transmitted. Moreover, when the packets are received by the electronic device, the electronic device may store associated receive times based on a clock in the electronic device. Using minimum time differences between the transmit and receive times, the electronic device may calculate a time offset between the electronic device and the second electronic device, which may then be used to determine future times in a clock domain of the second electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may provide additional packets to the second electronic device, where a given additional packet includes audio data, and a playback time, corresponding to a given future time, when the audio data is to be played back by the second electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device that coordinates a playback operation is described. In particular, an interface circuit in the electronic device may calculate, based on differences between transmit times when packets were transmitted by a second electronic device and receive times of the packets, relative drift as a function of time between a clock in the interface circuit and a second clock in the second electronic device. Then, the interface circuit may adjust, based on the relative drift, a clock circuit that provides the clock to eliminate the relative drift, and may determine a remaining time offset between the clock and the second clock. Next, the interface circuit may modify a future time when the second electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the remaining time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may transmit information to the second electronic device specifying the corrected future time.

Abstract: A suitcase combination lock includes a locking element and a password element for controlling the movement of the locking element. Both ends of the password element have the locking element, and a swingable adapter installed between the two locking elements, and the two locking elements are connected to both ends of the adapter respectively, so that the two locking elements can jointly drive the adapter to swing, and the two locking assemblies are linked with each other. The two locking assemblies can move outwardly or inwardly at the same time. If the password is correct, and a position of the suitcase with one of the locking elements is hit, a single locking element cannot be moved easily to prevent a lock hook of the locking element from being rotated, and prevent a lock failure of the locking assembly.

Abstract: A thin padlock with simple and convenient operation includes a lock hook, a lock buckle and a lock cylinder module capable of locking the padlock. The lock cylinder module is embedded into a box; a small portion of the lock cylinder module is protruded from the outer surface of the box, so that the thickness of the padlock protruding to the outside of the box is reduced, and the padlock will not be damage by external forces easily. In an unlock process, the lock cylinder module slides with respect to the box and drives the lock hook to move and be separated from the lock buckle. The lock cylinder module integrates a pressing unlock function to skip the pressing action, thus not just reducing the thickness of the padlock protruding to the outside of the box only, but also allowing users to operate the lock cylinder module by a finger to unlock the padlock and improve the convenience of operating the padlock.

Furthermore, the processor modifies a future time when the electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the remaining time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may perform the playback operation at the corrected future time.

Abstract: A processor in an electronic device may coordinate an interface clock in the electronic device with a second interface clock in a second electronic device based on time-coordination information received in packets from the second electronic device. Then, the processor captures timing information associated with the interface clock provided by an interface clock circuit to increase a resolution of a system clock. Moreover, the processor may track, using the timing information, relative drift as a function of time between the system clock and the interface clock, and may determine, based on the relative drift, an estimated time offset between the interface clock and the system clock at the future time. Next, the processor modifies a future time when the electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the estimated time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may perform the playback operation at the corrected future time.
