  • Multi-processor communications system incorporating prioritized messaging
    Patent number: 8346964
    Abstract: A flexible multi-processor communications system supports variable message lengths and variable groups and application designations at respective processors. The receiving processors determine what action, if any, needs to be taken in response to the combination of group and application information in the messages. The receiving processors can include pluralities of pre-stored groups and applications along with associated priorities and the functions to perform.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 1, 2006
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2013
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Robert J. Clow, Lee D. Tice, Jerry L. Howard, Manley S. Keeler, John F. Meggesin
