==Clock queue with arming and/or self-arming features - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523991 titled 'Clock queue with arming and/or self-arming features

==Simplified Explanation==

The communication system described in the patent application includes various queues to manage the transmission of packets over a network. 

* The system includes a send queue, which contains entries pointing to packets to be transmitted.
* A clock work queue is used to synchronize the sending times of the packets.
* An arming queue is used to arm the clock work queue at selected time intervals.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various communication systems, such as network routers, switches, and other devices that require efficient packet transmission and synchronization.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient packet transmission: By using the queues described in the patent application, the system can ensure that packets are transmitted in a synchronized and timely manner.
2. Synchronization of sending times: The clock work queue helps in synchronizing the sending times of packets, which is crucial for maintaining network efficiency.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved network performance: By synchronizing packet transmission times, the system can reduce delays and improve overall network performance.
2. Enhanced reliability: The use of queues for managing packet transmission helps in ensuring that packets are sent at the right time, reducing the chances of data loss or network congestion.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology described in the patent application could be valuable for companies that develop networking equipment, communication systems, and other devices that rely on efficient packet transmission and synchronization.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing communication systems or networking devices that use queues for managing packet transmission. However, the specific implementation of the send queue, clock work queue, and arming queue as described in the patent application may be novel and innovative.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology impact network scalability? ===
This article does not address how the described technology may impact the scalability of a network. It would be interesting to explore whether the use of queues for packet transmission and synchronization could affect the scalability of a network infrastructure.

=== What are the potential security implications of this technology? ===
The article does not discuss the potential security implications of implementing the described technology. It would be important to consider how the use of queues for packet transmission could impact network security and whether any vulnerabilities may arise from this approach.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A communication system includes at least one send queue, containing send queue entries pointing to packets to be transmitted over a network by packet sending circuitry. A clock work queue contains clock queue entries to synchronize sending times of the packets pointed to by the send queue entries. At least one arming queue contains arming queue entries to arm the clock work queue at selected time intervals.
