[May 23, 2013] Freescale Semiconductor Assigned Patent Tweet (Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) By Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 23 -- Freescale Semiconductor, Austin, Texas, has been assigned a patent (8,447,004) developed by Rohit Tomar, New Delhi, India, and Prashant Bhargava, Gurgaon, India, for an "estimation and compensation of clock variation in received signal." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and system for estimating and compensating for variation between a receiver clock and a transmitter clock, where a receiver utilizes a high frequency clock signal to generate a receiver clock and then adjusts the receiver clock to compensate for variations between the receiver and transmitter clocks. The adjusted receiver clock is used to sample nibble pulses in a received data frame. Counter based compensation of the receiver clock eliminates the need for the receiver to perform floating point calculations, improves the accuracy of nibble pulse sampling and also reduces area and power consumption of the device." The patent application was filed on Feb. 4, 2011 (13/020,815).
