Title: Pressure hull for human occupancy for manned submersibles
Inventor: JOHN ALISTER RAMSAY
IPC: B63B5/24
Filed: 2020-06-02
Abstract: A pressure hull 1 for manned submersible vessels formed from acrylic has a circular cross section across its major axis (2, Figure 1A, 1B), and an elongated, non-uniform profile (3) along the major axis. The hull may be spheroidal with seating for at least four occupants 7 with forward or lateral outward lines of sight. The hull may be formed as a single unit, or may have a central section formed as a single unit with metal end caps (16a, 16b, Figure 3) at each end. An access hatch 8 may be positioned on the hull upper surface, on an axis intersecting the central axis.

Title: Method and apparatus for synchronizing different communication ports
Inventor: ROMAIN GUIGNARD
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2020-06-09
Abstract: The invention relates to networks using inter device synchronisation (e.g. precision time protocol (PTP)) and intra device synchronisation between the ingress port connected to the external grandmaster clock and egress ports connected to downstream devices, known as a discipline procedure. The invention concerns synchronisation loss within a device. For instance, the difference between port clocks becomes greater than a threshold, or link on a port fails. It is stated that link recovery causes errors in the associated port clock. The invention determines the difference between each port clock and the grandmaster and then resets the other port clocks to match the port clock with the lowest offset. Thus, the error between port clocks becomes less than the threshold and synchronisation is no longer ‘lost’. At this point synchronisation and disciple processes may resume. The invention is supposed to achieve resynchronisation faster than simply recommencing the basic synchronisation process.
