Patent number: 10771460Abstract: A method. At least some embodiments are a method including detecting docking of a mobile computer system to a docking device. In response to detecting the docking, the method further includes connecting an external data communication network to a bridge logic device in the mobile computer system via the docking device, and uploading, via the external data communication network, first data to a non-volatile random access memory coupled to the bridge logic device in the mobile computer system. The method further includes uploading, via the external data communication network, second data to the non-volatile random access memory coupled to the bridge logic device in the mobile computer system, the second data comprising programming instructions for execution on a computer system external to the mobile computer system.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Robert A. Woodward, Daniel M. Herring, Andrew W. Hull

Patent number: 10771461Abstract: At least some embodiments are a method including connecting a mobile computer system to a vehicle computer system, wherein the vehicle computer system does not include a display device. Mission control data is received from the vehicle computer system, the mission control data generated by one or more vehicle I/O sensors coupled to the vehicle computer system. The mission control data is displayed on a display device of the mobile computer system.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Robert A. Woodward, Daniel M. Herring, Andrew W. Hull

Patent number: 10097542Abstract: A system. At least some embodiments are a system including a first processor and a non-volatile random access memory coupled to the first processor, the non-volatile random access memory storing program instructions for execution by the first processor in which the programming instructions are stored only in encrypted form. The system further includes an encryption engine coupled to the first processor and coupled to the non-volatile random access memory. A bridge logic device coupled is to the processor and configured to couple to an external peripheral network bus. The encryption engine is configured to decrypt software program instructions stored in the non-volatile random access memory for execution by the first processor.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Robert A.
