  • Avionics data networks
    Patent number: 10270567
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for operating an avionics data network includes a network switch core configured for a time-sensitive networking (TSN) schema, a set of TSN networking end nodes communicatively connected with the network switch core, a set of ARINC 664 part 7 (A664p7) networking end nodes communicatively connected with the network switch core, and an A664p7 legacy module connected with, or incorporated into, the network switch core and configured to receive a set of A664p7 networking data from the set of A664p7 networking end nodes.

  • Providing an interface for an avionics data transfer system
    Patent number: 10050765
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an efficient and configurable port interface in an avionics data transfer system are provided. For instance, in one embodiment a set of virtual ports associated with an avionics data transfer system can be defined. At least as a subset of the virtual ports can be mapped to one or more addresses in a memory space associated with the data transfer system, such that each virtual port has a fixed definition in the memory space. One or more of the virtual ports can then be associated with one or more physical ports associated with an interface between a host computing device and an end system in the data transfer system by specifying for the one or more virtual ports a plurality of port parameters that define the respective one or more physical ports.

  • Method of time synchronization of free running nodes in an avionics network
    Patent number: 9001849
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing a local estimation of global network time of a receiving node on a network to a global network time reference is provided. The free running nodes receive precise time protocol synchronization messages and determine a ratio and an offset based on time data extracted from the messages.
