    摘要: Time synchronization of two clocks is disclosed herein, such as two stationary clocks. A global time signal from a global time reference or common time source can be used to calculate a common view based clock offset between the two clocks. In parallel, a network based clock offset between the two clocks can be calculated based on messages exchanged over a communication network interconnecting the two clocks, without reverting to the global time reference. Two recent values (e.g., the two most recent values) of the common view clock offset and the network based clock offset can be combined or superposed in a seamless way to produce a final time offset estimate. The combination of independently calculated common view and network based clock offsets can be a weighted average of the two values, involving respective weights based on quality estimates of the latter. The time synchronization schemes based on a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a wide area communication network can be combined to synchronize the stationary clocks of phasor measurement units (PMUs) of a wide area monitoring system to a central server clock at a Network Control Center (NCC) of the system.

    摘要: A clock time adjustment system for a vehicle equipped with navigation system whereby the time on the system clock is adjusted based upon position of the vehicle and the time signal provided by the Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS). The navigation system is capable of determining vehicle position and the system memory is provided with data corresponding to regional time zones. The system determines the current position of the vehicle and then calculates the proper time for the vehicle's location using data corresponding to the regional time zone where the vehicle is currently located. The system also stores, into memory, road data having routes that are undesirable for travel at particular times which may then be used to adjust the trip route to the destination by comparing the road data and time to determine an optimal route that avoids roads that are undesirable for traveling during a specific period.

    摘要: A communications system includes apparatus for generating a succession of time message signals, a central station having a transmitter for transmitting the time message signals, at least a first receiver for receiving the time message signals and timer circuits for determining the real time of receipt of each time message signal. Each time message signal is representative of the real time of receipt, by the first receiver, of a preceding time message. The first receiver includes a clock for providing the first receiver with an internal time signal. The clock is reset upon receipt of a first time message signal and is advanced, upon receipt of a subsequent time message signal, by the real time indicated by the subsequent time message signal.

    摘要: A system and method for maintaining a precise time standard among a system of orbiting satellites is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, atomic clock data is circulated among the satellites via RF crosslinks. Each satellite uses the received data as input to a Kalman process which acts to minimize the mean squared error among the satellite clocks to form a set of "ensemble clocks". The resulting ensemble clock values are then transmitted to an earth station where an offset between the ensemble clocks and Universal Time is computed. The offset is transmitted from the earth station to the satellites where it is used by the satellites to lock their on-board clocks to Universal Time, thereby creating a corrected system time. The corrected system time is transmitted, via RF crosslinks, to satellites not having operational on-board clocks. The satellites without atomic clocks employ phase locked loops to anchor their clocks to the corrected system time as it is received over the crosslinks.

    摘要: A time keeping and display system, device, and method are shown and illustrated including radio signal broadcast of a time of day reference signal. Remote time keeping devices intermittently collect the time of day reference. Each remote device automatically captures a current state of a time keeping counter when capturing the time of day reference. The captured state of the time keeping counter is later compared to the received time of day reference to calculate an update relative to the time of day counter. The calculated update may be a calculated error later applied as an offset to the counter, or may be a sum of the received time of day and an elapsed time, later loaded into the counter. When the remote device has no pending higher priority tasks, a brief fixed execution time procedure modifies the time keeping counter as a function of the calculated update. Because the process of modifying the time keeping counter is brief, no perceivable discontinuity in device operation, i.e., time display updates or response to user interface activity, occurs while the processing element of the device is dedicated entirely, i.e., interrupts disabled, to the task of modifying the content of the time keeping counter.
