NIST Time Synchronization

1 New Member
Hi,

I'd like to show whether a business is open or not depending on the opening times and the real time of the time zone of the business (not the server or PC time).

My idea is to have a JavaScript clock corrected/synchronized with NIST time on page load (or in regular intervals).

Should not be too complicated and I've already begun coding. Trouble might start when summer and winter time must be taken into account. How can I realize that?

What do you think of the idea and my approach? Maybe someone has already worked on this and can help me with his/her solution?!

Thanks for any advice, regards from Berlin,

Sebastian

You can use Ajax to synchronise. As for daylight saving, hopefully that's taken care of by NIST.

List: I'm playing with some image algorithms and one of the examples discusses fingerprint comparison. The NIST has fingerprint sample files for download, in NIST IHead format. Has anyone built a reader for that format? Thanks

Hello Charles, I am Ahmed, I read your query regarding image reader for NIST's ihead standard. You mentioned that NIST has a sample database of such images for downloading, could please do me a favour, (i) forward me the link of NIST where sample data of ihead image is stored, I can not find it.

We have a time critical smart client application running on Windows 2000/XP systems. Is there any reliable service that would help in syncing the local system time to atomic clock or local time at the least in case the user changes the system clock in purpose or inadvertently? - Network synchronization solutions in the network is manual I believe? - Web service based sync could work but will not if the user is off line. Any other...

I have database apps that depend on accurate time settings on the system clock. Fancy that, huh? Well, am trying to sync w/ the gvt's nist time server. From a CMD window in Win XP, I type the following: C:\DB\TimNall>Gonna set time wrong - say to 8AM C:\DB\TimNall>time The current time is: 12:07:12.80 Enter the new time: 8:00:00

I would like to use the timestamp on files to manage the currency of support files for my VB windows application. In this case I would only put the timestamp of the file in the management database and not the file itself. To do this I will need to have a File class property for Create time and date that will let me "set" the Create time and date of the file to my own chooseing. The VB file class does not appear to have the ability

I orginally posted this to microsoft.public.sqlserver.ce but had not received any responses. I have a CF.NET application (C#) with a SqlCE database.

Hello everyone: I am normally not an advocate of increasing the priority of a running process or of a thread but it looks like I have to choice. I'm writing a small app that plays a line-in signal via speakers using low level Digital Audio API and as you can imagine it is quite time critical. The app works fine when computer is idle but then even when I minimize a window (any window), let alone do something more involving the play-back...

Hi all! I have a question about thread synchronization and c++ streams (iostreams, stringstreams, etc). When optimizing a program for a multicore processor I found that stringstream was causing a LOT of synchronization overhead. After a bit of digging I concluded that this synchronization has to do with the access to a global locale inside the stream. The problem can be seen by running the small distilled benchmark code

Cognaxon has released "NIST (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000) library" which adds the power of NIST (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000) file format to your software projects using only a few lines of code. Additionally "NIST (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000) library" has built-in support for decompressing fingerprint images from WSQ image format. The advantage of NIST files is the ability to contain multiple images and other types of data about the person in one single...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
