  • Publication number: 20260134984
    Abstract: Embodiments of synchronizing the device clock in wound monitoring and/or therapy systems are disclosed. In some cases, a wound monitoring and/or therapy device can maintain a device clock, which can be set to a network time obtained from a network or internal time associated with a time set during configuration of the device. The device can selectively set the device clock to the network time in response to obtaining the network time and determining that the device clock is set to the internal time. In some cases, a remote computing device can receive a record transmitted by a wound monitoring and/or treatment device. The record can include a first set of operational parameters associated with monitoring and/or provision of treatment by the device and a first timestamp indicating a time of obtaining at least some operational parameters. The remote computing device can synchronize the first timestamp with network time.

  • Patent number: 12381566
    Abstract: Apparatuses, devices, and systems for time synchronization are described. A timing circuit can include an analog phase lock loop (APLL), a plurality of digital phase lock loops (DPLLs) and a plurality of fractional output dividers (FODs). The timing circuit can receive the plurality of reference clock signals. The timing circuit can use the plurality of reference clock signals to generate at least one fractional frequency offset signal. The timing circuit can apply at least one operand on the at least one fractional frequency offset signal. The timing circuit can sum results of the application of the at least one operand on the at least one fractional frequency offset signal to generate a plurality of signals that control frequencies of a plurality of output clock signals that can be synchronized with the plurality of reference clock signals.

  • Patent number: 10868664
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, a method of minimizing timing error in a precise timing protocol system includes receiving an input 1PPS signal and a clock signal; outputting an output 1PPS signal a number of clock edges after receipt of the input 1PPS signal; adjusting the clock signal until the output 1PPS signal as jumped a clock cycle; and adjusting an offset to bring the output 1PPS signal to within a half clock period. In some embodiments, further adjustments can be made to the timestamp.

  • Patent number: 10075284
    Abstract: A system and method for clock phase alignment at a plurality of line cards over a backplane of a communication system. Phase adjustments are continually made for the clock signals at the line cards by dynamically measuring the propagation delay between the timing device and each of the plurality of line cards and continuously communicating the appropriate phase adjustment to each of the plurality of line cards.
