Abstract: A computing system receives a compressed archive file that includes a one or more new executable software modules, and a installation file specifying instructions for installing such modules on the computing system. The modules and the installation file are extracted from the compressed archive file, and the modules installed in accordance with the instructions. Instances of executing software modules that correspond to the installed modules are notified about their impending termination. The instances are then terminated before launching corresponding instances of the installed modules.

Abstract: A passive electronic warfare system must deinterleave trains of pulses from a number of radar transmitters. An adaptive parametric channelizer for acquiring and tracking trains of pulses consists of an input channelizer operating under the control of a resource control processor. Each pulse descriptor word (PDW), a set of digitized signal parameters measured by a specialized receiver of radar pulse signals, is temporarily stored in a first-in-first out (FIFO) buffer memory. PDW data from the FIFO buffer memory is then applied to a set of parameter filter devices. These filters are provided with a range of parameter values, forming windows, by the resource control processor. The filters operate such that when a PDW falls within one of the filter's windows, a match output is asserted and applied to a match list generator which maps asserted matches into a list of filter index numbers.
