  • Patent number: 11941071
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for a web-based process to generate electronic checklists and deploy electronic checklists. One method may include: receiving bulk data from a user device; parsing the bulk data to form a loadable database for an electronic procedure system of a vehicle; generating a rendering of an electronic checklist of one or more electronic checklists based on the loadable database; transmitting a first message to the user device, the first message including the rendering of the electronic checklist; iteratively performing an authoring process using a web-based tool to update the loadable database; receiving a second message from the user device, the second message including an instruction to transmit the updated loadable database to the electronic procedure system of the vehicle; and transmitting a third message to the vehicle, the third message including the updated loadable database.

  • Patent number: 11655047
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for operating an electronic checklist for an aircraft. The system includes an aviation sub-system that is part of an aircraft, where the aviation subsystem is an item on the electronic checklist. Also included is a sensor that monitors the status of the aviation sub-system with reference to the electronic checklist. An onboard computer system monitors the electronic checklist and determines the status of the aviation sub-system as required by the electronic checklist along with the operational condition of the sensor that monitors the status of aviation sub-system. Finally, a graphical display shows the status of the aviation sub-system and the operational condition of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6356550
    Abstract: A SONET bus has a set of SONET mappers that transmit and receive facility signals on facility lines. Each facility line operates at a predetermined speed. Each SONET mapper generates a SONET signal by mapping the facility signals received by the SONET mapper into a predefined format for transmission. The predefined format includes timeslots associated with each received facility signal. Each SONET mapper receives a SONET signal and maps the received SONET signal into the facility signals transmitted by the SONET mapper on the facility lines. Each SONET signal includes an associated set of the facility signals. At least one counter outputs a timeslot count signal for synchronizing the timeslots of the facility signals. A set of bidirectional drivers has a mapper side and a system side. Each bidirectional driver receives the timeslot count signal.
