    摘要: A method for automatic control of an aircraft in event of flight crew incapacity may include determining any incapacity of the flight crew. The method may also include providing a message requiring acknowledgement from the flight crew in response determining incapacity of the flight crew. The method may additionally include commanding an auto pilot to control the aircraft in response to not receiving acknowledgement from the flight crew.

    摘要: A method for correlating, in time, selected events that are memorialized as data within messages transmitted across disparate communications busses is described. The method includes receiving, with a referencing unit, the messages that are transmitted across the disparate communications busses, referencing, with the referencing unit, the content of a first selected received message to a master clock within the referencing unit, referencing, with the referencing unit, the content of a second selected received message to the master clock within the referencing unit, the second selected received message related to the first selected message, the second selected received message occurring on a communications bus disparate from the communications bus upon which the first received message occurred, and providing, based on operation of the master clock, a common time reference for the content of both the first selected received message and the second selected received message.

    摘要: A method for validating the data defining an executable program prior to loading of the data for program execution is described. The method includes calculating a verification number for the data within a primary data storage area, the data defining an executable program, comparing the calculated verification number with a stored number, executing the program within the primary data storage area if the verification number matches the stored number, calculating a verification number for the data within a secondary data storage area, the data within the secondary data storage area defining the same executable program as that within the primary data storage area, if the verification number and the stored number do not match, comparing the calculated verification number for the data within the secondary data storage area with the stored number, causing the program to be executed if the verification number for the data within the secondary data storage area and the stored number match, and indicating a failure if the verification number for the data within the secondary data storage area and stored number do not match.

    摘要: A system is provided that comprises a vehicle (e.g., aircraft) including a plurality of modules (e.g., line-replaceable units—LRU's) capable of communicating over a plurality of buses (e.g., Mil-Std-1553 buses). The system also includes an advanced wireless open data controller (AWOC) capable of receiving data output onto the buses of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle, such as during flight of an aircraft. The AWOC is also capable of comparing the output data to a database of known events of the modules. Then, when the output data matches a known event for at least one module, the AWOC is capable of identifying an event. The AWOC can package event data including the identified event. A data unit, also included within the system, is capable of transmitting the packaged event data external to the vehicle at least partially over a wireless communication link.
