Patent CA-2291427-A1 (CA)
Title: Clock or watch having accuracy-improving function
Inventor: OKADA SETSUO
IPC: G04C9/04
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: A register having a predetermined set value is provided in parallel with a counter for counting a basic signal generated from a crystal oscillator. The register and the counter are connected to a comparator for inputting a count signal into a time-counting circuit every time when the count value of the basic signal in the counter has reached the set value in the register. A signal based on the time-counting signal is sent from the time-counting circuit to a display which indicates time based on the signal. The time indicated on the display is compared with the standard time indicated by a television or the like. In this case, when there is a time difference between the display time and the standard time, a correction value, in terms of the number of seconds, corresponding to the time difference is input through an input unit. The input correction value is calculated in a computing circuit, and is set as a new set value in the register. A time-counting signal based on the newly set value in the register is output from the comparator. This improves the accuracy of the time indicated on the display.

Title: Method and apparatus of supporting an audio protocol in a network
Inventor: RUBERG ALAN T
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus of supporting an audio protocol in a network environment. Audio processing and hardware requirements associated with a receiver are minimized by specifying a single audio protocol for transmission of audio data between transmitters on a network and the receiver. The protocol specifies a sampling rate, bit resolution and quantization scheme which allow for high sound quality and further minimize the complexity of the receiver.  Transmitters are equipped with drivers to provide for conversion of audio data into the designated protocol as needed. Aspects of the designated protocol are provided to compensate for problems associated with transmitting audio streams over a network. The designated protocol specifies a format for interleaving audio samples within data packets to minimize errors which are the result of consecutive missing audio data samples due to packet loss. The receiver may further compensate for missing audio data samples through interpolation. In accordance with the designated protocol, a sequence size is specified to govern how the audio data is processed. The transmitter controls the sequence size adaptively to maintain audio latency within a limit specified for each audio application. The designated protocol also provides for determination of a mix mode and a number of channels for specifiying how audio data with multiple channels is mixed and routed among multiple audio output devices.
