Patent CA-2652594-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOWD GREGORY LOUIS
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2007-05-16
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention set forth a method and system for reducing uncertainty in receive and transmit timestamps created by an NTP server. The uncertainty in the receive timestamps is removed by recording the time-of-arrival in the hardware clock of the NTP server before the incoming packets may be delayed by traversing the various layers of software in a timestamping system. The uncertainty in the transmit timestamps is removed by giving the outgoing packets a timestamp in the future using an estimate of the transmission latency calculated by the latency estimator filter. Subsequently, the actual time-of-departure is used to re-calculate and update the estimate of the transmission latency. In this fashion, superior control of the timestamping function may be implemented in existing NTP servers in a manner that retains interworking compatibility with the current NTP standards.

IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2008-11-19
Abstract: When the storage capacity of a conventional optical disk is increased, it has been conventionally impossible to express the increased addresses by using the number of bits used to represent the address information on the optical disk. An address format enabling expression of the increased addresses while maintaining the compatibility with conventional address formats even by using the same number of bits is proposed. The track of an optical disk of the invention is divided into blocks each constituted of L sub-blocks. In each sub-block, first M-bit digital information specifying the block addresses of the sub-blocks and secondN-bit digital information capable of expressing a number not less than L are recorded. If the value of a block address is below a threshold, the second digital information represents values specifying the numbers previously allocated to the sub-blocks; and if the value of a block address is not less than the threshold, the second digital information represents other values than the values specifying the numbers previously allocated to the sub-blocks. Alternatively, if the value of a block address is not less than the threshold, the second digital information represents the values specifying the numbers previously allocated to the sub-blocks; and if the value of a block address is below a threshold, the second digital information represents other values than the values specifying the numbers previously allocated to the sub-blocks.

IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 2008-03-21
Abstract: Calibration and normalization methods for a grating-based sensor design are disclosed. The sensor may be constructed in a manner optimized for both label-free and luminescence, e.g. fluorescence, amplification detection in a single device. Such a sensor, based on grating or another periodical structure with appropriate coating, dramatically increases the diversity of applications and allows realizing novel concepts that provide qualitative and quantitative information/data for each location or capture element in the sensor surface. The invention takes advantage of these different modes to carry out a quality control (QC) step and a calibration of each individual location of the sensor. Thus, the assay data can be flagged according to their quality and local density variations, batch variations and variations in the printed deposition of probes or the materials to the surface can be compensated.
