Abstract: A method of facilitating clock synchronization over redundant networks may include, when a SYNC message and a DELAY_REQ message of a PTP clock synchronization cycle are carried by different redundant networks, adjusting a timestamp associated with one of the messages to emulate carriage of the SYNC message and the DELAY_REQ message by the same redundant network. In a method of facilitating PTP clock synchronization, an indicator of an operational status of each of a pair of redundant networks for carrying messages from a slave clock to a master clock may be embedded in a PTP message destined for the slave clock. An indicator of which one of the pair of redundant networks is valid for PTP clock synchronization may be obtained from a PTP message destined for the master clock. PTP messages to the master clock may be selectively relayed based on whether the PTP messages have been received from the valid one of the redundant networks.

Abstract: An elevated bowl stand assembly that is adaptable to attach to a tire of automobiles. The bowl stand assembly comprises a main rod member, a pair of bowls and a pair of struts. A plurality of strap members having a pair of first strap members that is attached to the main rod member and the pair of connecting rod members utilizing at least one mounting means and the pair of second strap members that is attached to the pair of connecting rod members utilizing the at least one mounting means. A horizontal supporting member is adapted to releasably hold the pair of second strap members and loop behind the tire of the automobiles. The plurality of strap members engages the main rod member to the tire thereby placing the main rod member and the pair of bowls in a suspended orientation.

Abstract: A sincerity index system is provided for determining the sincerity of a person undergoing muscular testing. The system includes a muscular force detector for sensing and measuring the force exerted by first muscles upon a predetermined body movement and providing a first signal proportional to the force exerted. An electromyograph senses and measures the bioelectric activity of second muscles corresponding to the first muscles, the electromyograph providing a second signal proportional to the bioelectric activity. An interface device processes the signals and provides at least two factors, and an index-forming program combines the factors in a predetermined manner to provide a sincerity index having upper and lower limits. Using the system one can ascertain faked or exaggerated soft tissue injury, the extent of injury, and the extent of concomitant disabilities.
