  • Patent number: 7945360
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring aircraft parameters that includes sampling an aircraft parameter during a first sampling period, recording the full value of the aircraft parameter sampled during the first sampling period, then sampling the aircraft parameter during a fixed number of subsequent consecutive sampling periods, and recording the change between the value of the aircraft parameter sampled in the subsequent sampling periods and the value of the aircraft parameter sampled in the prior sampling period. A method and system for constructing a data stream that includes merging a voluntary data stream and the mandatory parameters and storing the merged data stream in a flight data recorder while maintaining the certification of the flight data recorder.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6696930
    Abstract: A system for specifying a trigger logic condition, including an interface device, a simple condition editor module in communication with the interface device for permitting definition of a condition region relative to a multi-dimensional coordinate system via the interface device using a set of attribute commands, and for recognizing a multi-parameter condition associated with the condition region based on the attribute commands used to define the condition region, and a complex condition editor module in communication with the interface device for permitting definition of the trigger logic condition on the interface device as an arrangement of a plurality of tiles defining a logical relationship for the tiles according to a predefined notation, wherein at least one tile represents one of a multi-parameter condition recognized by the simple condition editor module and an action to be performed, and for recognizing the trigger logic condition associated with the arrangement based on the predefined notation.

  • Patent number: 6654386
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus of processing a data file stored in a computer memory in digital form. The method including selecting a packet size that is a number of bits between one and a subframe size within an input file containing data stored in frames and subframes format, wherein the data file stored in a computer memory in digital form; separating the data into consecutive packets of the selected size; repositioning the packets located in similar positions within a frame adjacent to one another; and storing the packets in an output file for further processing by a compression algorithm. The system includes a processor for executing the method and a memory for storing an output data file. The apparatus including a computer readable medium having computer executable instructions thereon for executing the method.
