REDUNDANT TIMER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A scalable system and method for redundant timing. A clock CTo is set to counta time To. One more time increment ei are defined for other clocks CTi, eachto count a times Ti=Ti-1 + ei. After the earliest time that a timer CTjcompletes counting its time, an event E is caused to occur and an event F iscaused to occur with regard to at least one of the timers CTk, k being aninteger from j+1 to N.
