Clock Synchronization Without Electromagnetic Signals by Nicholas Sama
نویسنده
چکیده
The motional dependence of clock rates and the related problem of synchronization are analyzed. It is shown that any possible motional effect on observed clock rates can be experimentally determined by the use of unsynchronized clocks alone, and that in consequence this result can be utilized to synchronize a system of clocks without light signals and without any assumptions whatever regarding the properties of space. Thus one is not free, as special relativity has claimed, to establish a time scale by defining the synchronization procedure.

Synchronization Clock Frequency Modulation Technique for Compromising Emanations Security
The security problem of screen image leakage on a display unit through electromagnetic radiation from several meters away has attracted wide interest by security researchers since van Eck wrote about this problem. To solve the problem, techniques for reducing the S/N ratio of emanating information by signal reduction and noise generation have been proposed as countermeasures. Different from the...
متن کاملTiming Constraint Remapping to Avoid Time Discontinuities in Distributed Real-Time Systems
In this paper we propose a dynamic constraint transformation technique for ensuring timing requirements in a distributed real-time system possessing periodically synchronized distributed local clocks. Traditional discrete clock synchronization algorithms that adjust local clocks instantaneously yield time discontinuities. Such time discontinuities lead to the loss or the gain of critical time p...
متن کاملClock Synchronization of TinyOS-based Sensor Networks with DCF77
The paper presents an approach of applying DCF77 time radio signals to provide a clock with global time in sensor networks based on TinyOS. Some nodes containing DCF77 receiver hardware reliably decode time signals even if these are distorted to some extent. The clock with global time is provided by compensating clock drift. Time is distributed in the network with a protocol generating timestam...
متن کاملTiming Constraint Remapping to Achieve Time Equi-Continuity in Distributed Real-Time Systems
Discretely synchronized, distributed real-time systems may suuer from a time discontinuity problem in that local clocks observe the disappearance or reappearance of time intervals. This problem occurs since traditional discrete clock synchronization algorithms adjust local clocks instantaneously. Such time discontinuities may lead to run-time faults due to the loss or gain of critical time poin...
متن کاملOn the Sagnac effect for massive particles and some of its epistemological consequences
The author shows in this article that a coherent description of the Sagnac effect for massive particles, which takes account of length contraction and time dilation can only be obtained with a so called “absolute” clock synchronization parameter. Any other synchronization leads to an incoherent description between the point of view of an observer on the rotating platform and a non-rotating obse...
