Abstract: An emulator for emulating at least one digital device communicating over a clocked serial bus, the emulator is provided. The emulator comprises a programmable logic device holding device configuration information and data for the at least one emulated digital device; a communication mechanism for exchanging data between the at least one emulated digital device and a host device; and a decode mechanism that selects response data from the one or more registers.

Abstract: An electronic flight test card for testing a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) design is provided. The flight test card comprises: a module comprising a list of tests to be performed, each test linked to a requirement for a system or subsystem of the UAV; an interface for communicating with the UAV; a storage medium with a data log for storing the test results captured by the interface; a display module for displaying test items; and an output for exporting the data log to a configuration system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system of designing failure modes of a product is provided. The method comprises: decomposing systems of the product into subsystems based on information stored in a database; receiving through a user interface a failure mode for at least one of the subsystems; adding at least one requirement to the subsystem to address the failure mode; implementing the at least one requirement; validating the implementation at a subsystem level, a system level and a product level; and outputting results of the validating to a configuration system.
