Title: Tor Egil Melgård and Timescale Dissemination Using GNSS

Introduction

Tor Egil Melgård is an inventor associated with Oslo, Norway, and FNV IP B.V. His patent work addresses the dissemination of precise timescale information using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Latest Patents

Melgård is associated with 1 patent: “Timescale dissemination using global navigation satellite systems and applications thereof.” The invention describes a method for distributing a timescale signal from server sites to client sites. Server-side GNSS processes use satellite signals to generate raw data, which is used to produce a precise orbits-and-clocks signal embedding the timescale. That signal is broadcast over a telecommunications network. At the client site, GNSS and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) processes use satellite data and the broadcast signal to determine the difference between the client clock and the timescale.

Career Highlights

A key highlight of Melgård’s patent activity is this approach to delivering timescale information through GNSS and telecommunications infrastructure. The method combines server-generated satellite corrections with client-side PPP processing to calculate clock differences.

Collaborations

Conclusion

Tor Egil Melgård’s patent focuses on disseminating a timescale signal through GNSS-based processing, with the aim of enabling client systems to compare their clocks against that timescale.
