  • Patent number: 8335609
    Abstract: A method of exposing and recording embedded avionics data using dynamically assigned labels assigns a first plurality of data labels to aircraft controller parameters designated for at least one aircraft sub-controller. A second plurality of data labels are dynamically assigned to desired embedded parameters of an aircraft main controller. At least one data word storing one of the desired embedded parameters is created. The at least one data word has one of the second plurality of data labels. The at least one data word is exposed by transmitting the at least one data word to a selective recording device. The selective recording device records the at least one data word.

  • Patent number: 4444994
    Abstract: A quick disconnect heat sink includes a first longitudinal bracket having a longitudinal groove along one surface thereof and a second longitudinal bracket having a longitudinal notch along one edge thereof. A heat sink having a first tongue on one end and a second tongue on the other end is disposed between the longitudinal brackets such that the first tongue is inserted in the longitudinal groove and the second tongue rests in the notch. A movable rectangular bracket is attached to the second clamping bracket such that it retains the second tongue between the rectangular clamping bracket and the notch. A first insert is disposed on the first tongue that inserts into a first slot on the first longitudinal bracket and a second insert is disposed on the second tongue that inserts into a second slot on the rectangular bracket, the inserts and slots preventing lateral movement of the heat sink. The rectangular bracket is removable so that the heat sink can be detached.
