In the meantime I have not only found these but also "Smart Clock: A New
Time" by David Allan et al which shows that "Smart Clock" is originally a
NIST invention & patent and explains very well how it works. Perhaps what I
and You have seen is a direct consequence of applying the Smart Clock
algorithm.
