| 20100008456 | Method And System For Compensating Asymmetrical Delays - A method and a data-transmission system for transmitting data encoded in a signal between a transmitting user and a receiving user of the data-transmission system via a network structure of the data-transmission system. The data encoded in the signal are serially transmitted bit-by-bit in data frames having a defined structure. Each bit of the data encoded in the signal is sampled in the receiving user. Due to the transmission via the network structure, the signal is delayed asymmetrically. To compensate for the asymmetrical delay on the physical layer in the transmission channel, it is provided that the asymmetrical delay of the signal is determined at at least one point in the network structure, and is at least partially compensated prior to the receiving user sampling the bits of the data encoded in the signal. A measuring and compensating device is provided to measure and compensate for the asymmetrical delay. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100023816 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN ASYMMETRICAL SIGNAL LAG OF A SIGNAL PATH INSIDE AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - A device has at least one integrated signal path having a measurable asymmetrical signal lag and/or jitter, an output signal of the integrated signal path being able to be decoupled in a first measuring operating mode using a controllable integrated multiplexer to measure an asymmetrical signal lag of a measuring path, which includes the integrated signal path and the integrated multiplexer, and a measuring signal being able to be decoupled in a second measuring operating mode using the controllable integrated multiplexer to measure the asymmetrical signal lag of the integrated multiplexer. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100046594 | Method and device for decoding a signal - In a method and a device for decoding a signal, the signal is transmitted via at least one connecting line of a data transmission system, in a user of the data transmission system receiving the signal. It is provided to measure the interval of a change—provided compulsorily in a transmission protocol used in the data transmission system—of the signal from rising to falling or from falling to rising edge. A tendency for an asymmetrical delay of the signal can be ascertained from the measured interval. The sampling of the bits of the received signal can be improved as a function of the interval or of the asymmetrical delay, for example, by setting the sampling instant in variable fashion. Alternatively, the interval or the asymmetrical delay can be utilized for diagnostic purposes. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100195671 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF TWO COMMUNICATION NETWORKS OF AN ELECTRONIC DATA-PROCESSING SYSTEM - A method for synchronizing two communication networks of an electronic data-processing system, each of the networks including one or more respective nodes, may include establishing for each of the networks a respective time schedule that establishes at least one respective time slot for a respective synchronization message. The synchronization message time slots are established to coincide. The synchronization message of the first communication network is generated by one of the nodes of the first communication network. The synchronization message of the second communication network is generated as a function of the synchronization message of the first communication network. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100195672 | DIAGNOSIS OF THE SYNCHRONIZATION OF TWO COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS OF AN ELECTRONIC DATA-PROCESSING SYSTEM - A method for diagnosing a synchronization of two communications networks of an electronic data-processing system, each communications network including at least one node and having a respective schedule that specifies at least one respective time slot for a respective synchronization message, may include detecting, by each of the two communications networks, an individual time-based variable, comparing the two detected time-based variables to each other, and determining a quality of the synchronization of the two communications networks based on the comparison. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100205473 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF TWO COMMUNICATION NETWORKS OF AN ELECTRONIC DATA-PROCESSING SYSTEM - A method for synchronizing two communication networks of an electronic data-processing system. One or a plurality of nodes is connected to the two communication networks in each case. Each of the two communication networks has a schedule, which specifies at least one time slot for a synchronization message. One of the nodes of the first communication network, and one of the nodes of the second communication network are linked to one another by a shared arithmetic unit. A deviation between the time slots for the synchronization messages on the two communication networks is determined as a function of the schedules of the two communication networks. The deviation is used to determine correction values, which are forwarded to at least one other node. The occurrence of the time slots for the synchronization messages is modified by the other node as a function of the correction values. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100219992 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DECODING A SIGNAL - A method and a device for decoding a signal transmitted via at least one transmission line of a data transmission system, in a user of the data transmission system receiving the signal. Instead of at discrete instants, as currently done, sampling at a specific sampling instant does not take place. To this end, a potential-edge position (PEP) for an imminent edge is estimated first. Then, given n-fold oversampling, maximally n sampling values before the PEP and maximally n sampling values after the PEP are determined and compared with previously recorded and stored sampling values. The stored sampling values are preferably stored in an edge-acceptance vector (EAV) and correspond to an edge change of the signal to be decoded at a particular point in time. Preferably not all detected 2n sampling values are compared to the content of the EAVs, but the comparison is limited to a portion, combined to a sensitivity range, of the 2n sampling values of each EAV. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110231806 | METHOD FOR PARTITIONING ELECTRONIC UNITS - A method for partitioning electronic units and a system for implementing the method are provided. In the method, a plurality of function modules are distributed to the electronic units, for which purpose different inputs are input into an optimizer, which produces a set of comparable distributions. | 09-22-2011 |
