Communication Delay Sample Clauses

Communication Delay. The communication delay between directly connected (adjacent) nodes is expressed in terms of the minimum event-response delay, D, and network imprecision, d. These parameter are measured at the network level. A message broadcast by a node at real time t is expected to arrive at its directly connected adjacent nodes, be processed, and subsequent messages to be generated by those nodes within the time interval [t+D, t+D+d]. Communication between independently- clocked nodes is inherently imprecise. The network imprecision, d, is the maximum time difference among all receivers of a message from a transmitting node with respect to real time. The imprecision is due to many factors including, but not limited to, the drift of the oscillators with respect to real time, jitter, discretization error, temperature effects and differences in the lengths of the physical communication media. These parameters are assumed to be bounded, D > 0, d ≥ 0, and both have units of real-time clock ticks and their values known in the network. The communication delay, denoted , is expressed in terms of D and d, is defined as  = D+d, and has units of real-time clock ticks. In other words, we assume synchronous communication and bound the communication delay between any two directly connected adjacent nodes by [D, ]. However, for simplicity of notation, in the remainder of this paper we assume that the messages arrive logically at the same time at the destination nodes.

Communication Delay. Due to the reliable group communication platform, network delay is amplified by the necessary acknowledgments between the group members. The speed of light puts a lower bound on the minimum network delay. For example, a laser pulse that travels through a fiber optic cable takes ≈ 10 ms to travel from New York to San Francisco, ≈ 21 ms from Paris to San Francisco, and ≈ 40 ms from London to Sydney. In practice, networks today are about 3 to 4 times slower than the lower bound. To put this into perspective, an 850MHz Pentium III PC performs a single 512-bit modular exponentiation (one of the most expensive, but most basic public key primitives) in under 1 ms. Moreover, the speed of computers continue to increase. Comparing this with the WAN network delay, it is clear that reducing the number of communication rounds is much more important in the long run for an efficient group key agreement scheme than reducing the computation overhead.

For example, a laser pulse that travels through a fiber takes ≈ 10 ms between New York and San Francisco, ≈ 21 ms between Paris and San Francisco, and ≈ 40 ms from London to Sydney. In practice the networks today are slower than the lower bound by about a factor of 4 (due to switching overhead, etc.).

Communication Delay. If Practice or a Provider does not respond to a Patient’s e-mail message within one (1) day, Patient agrees to use another means of communication to contact the Provider with respect to the issue. Neither Practice nor the Provider(s) will be liable to Patient for any loss, cost, injury or expense caused by, or resulting from, a delay in responding to Patient as a result of technical failures, including, but not limited to: (i) technical failures attributable to any internet service provider, (ii) power outages, failure of any electronic messaging software or failure to properly address e-mail mes- sages, (iii) failure of Practice’s or the Providers' computers or computer networks, or faulty telephone or cable data transmissions, (iv) any interception of e-mail communications by a third party; or (v) Patient’s failure to comply with the guidelines regarding use of e-mail communications set forth in this Agreement.

Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 13.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document. The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. (b) The Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or prospective Transferees and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16. (c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.

(d) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only publicly available information.

  • Transmission Delivery Service Implications Under ER Interconnection Service, Interconnection Customer will be eligible to inject power from the Generating Facility into and deliver power across the Transmission System on an “as available” basis up to the amount of MW identified in the applicable stability and steady state studies to the extent the upgrades initially required to qualify for ER Interconnection Service have been constructed. After that date FERC makes effective MISO’s Energy Market Tariff filed in Docket No. ER04-691-000, Interconnection Customer may place a bid to sell into the market up to the maximum identified Generating Facility output, subject to any conditions specified in the Interconnection Service approval, and the Generating Facility will be dispatched to the extent the Interconnection Customer’s bid clears. In all other instances, no transmission or other delivery service from the Generating Facility is assured, but Interconnection Customer may obtain Point-To-Point Transmission Service, Network Integration Transmission Service or be used for secondary network transmission service, pursuant to the Tariff, up to the maximum output identified in the stability and steady state studies. In those instances, in order for Interconnection Customer to obtain the right to deliver or inject energy beyond the Point of Interconnection or to improve its ability to do so, transmission delivery service must be obtained pursuant to the provisions of the Tariff. The Interconnection Customer’s ability to inject its Generating Facility output beyond the Point of Interconnection, therefore, will depend on the existing capacity of the Transmission or Distribution System as applicable, at such time as a Transmission Service request is made that would accommodate such delivery. The provision of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service or Network Integration Transmission Service may require the construction of additional Network or Distribution Upgrades.
