General Electric had 26 patents in cybersecurity during Q2 2024. The patent filed by General Electric Co in Q2 2024 involves a system and method for determining clock drift and variance in a time-sensitive Ethernet network. It calculates an accumulated clock offset along the network path and sets a dynamic guard band size based on this offset. This guard band is then used to restrict the timing of Ethernet frame communication through the nodes in the network.

Application: System and method for controlling time dilation in time-sensitive networks (Patent ID: US20240214106A1)
The patent filed by General Electric Co. describes a system and method for determining clock drift and clock variance in a time-sensitive Ethernet network. The system calculates an accumulated clock offset along a network path based on these parameters and determines a guard band with a dynamic size to restrict the timing of Ethernet frame communication through the nodes. The size of the guard band is determined based on the accumulated clock offset and an eigenvalue centrality metric, which is influenced by the location of the nodes in the network.
Furthermore, the system dynamically allocates the guard band to nodes to prevent the communication of Ethernet frames during specific time intervals in the network schedule. This allocation can be adjusted based on changes in clock drifts, clock variances, or the eigenvalue centrality metric. By determining the accumulated clock offset along the network path and allocating the guard band accordingly, the system aims to improve the synchronization and timing of communication within the time-sensitive Ethernet network, enhancing overall network performance and reliability.
