  • Patent number: 9491727
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring network synchronization. The disclosed embodiments utilize time window snapshots to capture network time information and compare the captured time information against time reference information to determine network time errors. These network time errors can then be analyzed with respect to selected operating parameters and tolerances to determine network synchronization errors and to generate alarms. Certain embodiments are configured to capture time information data and to analyze this captured data locally to determine time error data. Certain other embodiments are configured to utilize multiple capture devices and to transmit time error data to a central snapshot synchronization monitor. The central snapshot synchronization monitor can also communicate control information to the capture devices to control the snapshot time windows.

  • Publication number: 20080108650
    Abstract: A phosphodiesterase 10A inhibitor serving as an effective prophylactic or therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. The PDE10A inhibitor contains as an active ingredient a pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative represented by the following general formula: wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons; and R3 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, or a lower alkoxyl group having 1 to 3 carbons.

  • Patent number: 7296796
    Abstract: This invention is directed toward a multiple dice device and operational system utilizing one or more inner dice enclosed within a clear, outer die with independent rolling and chance capabilities. Within a clear outer die there is enclosed one or more inner dice which roll independently of the outer die, such that with a roll on the outer die by a user two or more chance results can be obtained. The outer and inner dice can be the standard 1-6 numerical dice, purely directional dice, dice with symbols on them or a combination of the various possible surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4965884
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for receiving parallel digital data signals and an aligned frame pulse. The frame pulse occurs at a regular interval which is a multiple of the data clock period. A multiple clock sampling scheme includes sampling the frame pulse using a plurality of phase-shifted clock signals, selecting several clock signals which are centered on the frame pulse and therefore the data. Then, sampling the data using the selected clocks, taking a majority value of the multiple samples and aligning the sampled data with a locally generated frame pulse using an elastic store.
