Abstract: A method for transmitting data between functions implemented on a first electronic chip of the manycore type. The first electronic chip includes a plurality of execution cores, the execution cores being grouped in clusters, the clusters being interconnected by at least two communication systems. The data transmission method includes the steps of: implementing a first function on a first cluster; implementing a second function on a second cluster, characterised in that the second function is also implemented on a third cluster distinct from the first and second clusters; and transmitting at least one data item between the first function and the second function.

Abstract: A connection device includes a housing having a first face provided with a first opening that is closed by a PCB, and a second face provided with a second opening facing at least one electrical connection interface of the PCB. The housing includes at least one well extending from an edge of the second opening to the PCB so as to position a first connector relative to the connection interface, and in that the housing is a one-piece part that includes the well.

Abstract: A data updating system for computing devices included in an aircraft, wherein one computing device in a first group of computing devices is, and one other computing device in a second group of computing devices is not, when the data of the computing device is updated, liable to affect the safety of the operator carrying out the maintenance on the aircraft. The system includes a data loading device, a connection connecting the data loading device with the computing device in the second group, and a data router connected to the data loading device, the data router transferring updating data to the computing devices in the first group only when a command by an operator in the cockpit of the aircraft is detected.

Abstract: A system for updating data for computer devices included in an aircraft, the computer devices being, when the data is updated, liable to affect or not the safety of an operator performing maintenance, the system is included in the aircraft and includes a data loading device, a communication device, a data router and a module for detecting at least one maintenance operation on the aircraft. The system includes: means, included in the communication device, for receiving a command for updating a computer device; means, included in the communication device, for controlling the data loading device and the data router in order to transfer the updating data to the computer device; and means, controlled by the module for detecting at least one maintenance operation on the aircraft, for blocking the updating if at least one signal indicating that a maintenance operation is being performed on the aircraft is received.

Abstract: A method for locating an element which can be transported by aircraft includes, for a first position of an aircraft: a) transmitting, from an antenna located in the aircraft, a first message intended for the transportable element; b) receiving, on the antenna, a second message transmitted by the transportable element upon receipt of the first message; c) obtaining a travel time of the first and second messages; d) determining a distance from the travel times; e) determining that the element is inside the aircraft if the distance is less than a value and that the element is outside the aircraft if the distance is greater than the value.

Abstract: A method and a device for managing software configurations of equipment of an aircraft, comprising a device for managing software configurations of equipment of the aircraft. The device for managing software configurations of equipment of the aircraft detects the availability of a communication link between a server on the ground and the aircraft, checks whether a configuration file is available and importing the configuration file, imports, from the server on the ground, one or more software updates identified in the configuration file and storage of the software update or updates in a temporary memory space; determines the instant as from which each update can be implemented, and demands the modification of the software configuration of the item or items of equipment with the software update or updates corresponding to the item or items of equipment.

Abstract: A management method for managing compatibility between a first piece of equipment and a second piece of equipment connected together by communication interfaces. The method comprises the following steps: the first piece of equipment sending first compatibility information to the second piece of equipment, which first compatibility information is representative of the first data formats; the second piece of equipment preparing second compatibility information identifying at least one of the first formats that corresponds to the second format; and the second piece of equipment determining a level of compatibility with the first piece of equipment from the second compatibility information. A system for implementing the method.

Abstract: A device intended to be installed in an aircraft, the device being adapted for functioning in a first so-called “on the ground” operating mode or a second so-called “in flight” operating mode, the device includes a radio module compliant with a low power wide area network standard adapted for sending messages comprising data issuing from a sensor and supplied by an energy storage element, the device being adapted for: (1) in the first operating mode: before the sending of each message, charging the energy storage element with a predefined energy, and (2) in the second operating mode: for each message to be sent, choosing a transmission power, determining, according to this transmission power, an energy necessary for the sending of the message by the radio module, and before the sending of the message, charging the energy storage element with the necessary energy determined.
