Patent number: 11695708Abstract: Deterministic real-time multi-protocol heterogeneous packet-based transport is achieved by traffic shaping. When receiving a plurality of packets from a root complex where contents of each packet from the plurality of packets organized in accordance with a first protocol, a sequence number is added to each packet and a packet type is identified. Every packet in the first plurality of packets is encapsulated into at least one packet organized in accordance with a second protocol to form a second plurality of packets organized in accordance with the second protocol. All the packets from the second plurality of packets pass traffic scheduling or traffic shaping prior being sent via a plurality of connections to avoid burstiness and to achieve bounded transport latency in the plurality of connections, thereby providing deterministic real-time behavior in distributed systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Missing Link Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Nils Endric Schubert, David Epping, Andreas Braun, Ulrich Langenbach

Patent number: 11356388Abstract: Deadlocks in a multi-protocol heterogeneous packet-based transport system are avoided while maintaining real-time aspects. When receiving a plurality of packets from a root complex where contents of each packet from the plurality of packets organized in accordance with a first protocol, a sequence number is added to each packet and a packet type is identified. Every packet in the first plurality of packets is encapsulated into at least one packet organized in accordance with a second protocol to form a second plurality of packets organized in accordance with the second protocol. All the packets from the second plurality of packets are sent via a plurality of connections so that each connection from the plurality of connections only transports packets from the second plurality of packets that encapsulate packets from the first plurality that have a same packet type.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Missing Link Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Nils Endric Schubert, David Epping, Andreas Braun, Ulrich Langenblach

Patent number: 10848442Abstract: For secure transport, when receiving a plurality of packets from a root complex where contents of each packet from the plurality of packets organized in accordance with a first protocol, a sequence number is added to each packet and a packet type is identified. Every packet in the first plurality of packets is encrypted and encapsulated into at least one packet organized in accordance with a second protocol to form a second plurality of packets organized in accordance with the second protocol. All the packets from the second plurality of packets are sent via a plurality of connections so that each connection from the plurality of connections only transports packets from the second plurality of packets that encapsulate packets from the first plurality that have a same packet type.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Missing Link Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Nils Endric Schubert, David Epping, Andreas Braun, Ulrich Langenblach

Patent number: 10509880Abstract: Configuration information is generated for a configurable mixed-signal system. Analog requirements for operating the configurable mixed-signal system are gathered. A simulation model of a delta-sigma modulator is received. A simulation based on the simulation model of the delta-sigma modulator is performed to obtain parameter settings for the delta-sigma modulator. The obtained parameter settings are used to build at least a portion of a description of the configurable mixed-signal system. The description of the configurable mixed signal system is synchronized to receive configuration information.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Missing Link Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Nils Endric Schubert, Johannes Brock, Christian Grumbein

Patent number: 10140049Abstract: Within a partitioned system, a first system partition operates in a safety domain in which predictable operation of the first system partition is necessary to protect the system or operators of the system from harm. A second system partition operates in a user domain in which information supplied by the second system partition is not sufficiently reliable to be used by the first system partition within the safety domain. A mediator controller is connected between the first system partition and the second system partition. The mediator controller receives the information supplied by the first system partition. The mediator controller monitors and supervises use of the information by the second system partition in order maintain requirements of the safety domain to protect the system or operators of the system from harm.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Missing Link Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Nils Endric Schubert, Felix Eckstein
