Patent number: 10700046Abstract: An MCM-HIC device flexibly adds enhanced features to a VLSI “core” IC that are not directly supported by the core IC, such as unsupported communication protocols and/or support of cold spare operation. The core IC is mounted on an interconnecting substrate together with at least one “chiplet” that provides the required feature(s). The chiplet can be programmable. The chiplet can straddle a boundary of an interposer region of the substrate that provides higher density interconnections at lower currents. The disclosed method can include selecting a core IC and at least one active, passive, or “mixed” chiplet, configuring a substrate, and installing the core IC and chiplet(s) on the substrate. In embodiments, the core IC and/or chiplet(s) can be modified before assembly to obtain the desired result. Cost can be reduced by pre-designing and, in embodiments, pre-manufacturing the chiplets and modified core ICs in cost-effective quantities.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Dale A Rickard, Jason F Ross, John T Matta, Richard J Ferguson, Alan F Dennis, Joseph R Marshall, Jr., Daniel L Stanley

Patent number: 10521549Abstract: A method for providing a power estimation for an electronic system is disclosed. Initially, a system architecture of an electronic system design is initially developed, and the system architecture of the electronic system design is then converted to a power flow architecture of the electronic system design. For each power domain within the power flow architecture of the electronic system design, a power domain type is designated. Subsequently, power information are added to the power flow architecture of the electronic system. Finally, a power roll-up calculation is performed on the power flow architecture of the electronic system design in order to yield a final system power value for the electronic system design.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Richard J.

Patent number: 7800403Abstract: A universal support device for supporting a reconfigurable electronics device is disclosed. The universal support device includes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) module coupled to multiple non-volatile memory devices. The ASIC module is capable of interfacing with an external reconfigurable electronics device via a set of load/read-back interface lines and sense mitigation lines. The load/read-back interface lines are capable of being programmed to provide a parallel or a serial load and/or store protocols. The sense mitigation line can sense conditions that indicate a single-event functional interrupt or a radiation-induced event occurred within the reconfigurable electronics device.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventor: Joseph R.

Patent number: 7142953Abstract: A reconfigurable digital processing system for space includes the utilization of field programmable gate arrays utilizing a hardware centric approach to reconfigure software processors in a space vehicle through the reprogramming of multiple FPGAs such that one obtains a power/performance characteristic for signal processing tasks that cannot be achieved simply through the use of off-the-shelf processors. In one embodiment, for damaged or otherwise inoperable signal processors located on a spacecraft, the remaining processors which are undamaged can be reconfigured through changing the machine language and binary to the field programmable gate arrays to change the core processor while at the same time maintaining undamaged components so that the signal processing functions can be restored utilizing a RAM-based FPGA as a signal processor.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Bae Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 6668300Abstract: A computer device includes an interface board, a plurality of peripheral component interface (PCI) busses on the interface board, and a plurality of device card connectors carried by the interface board. The plurality of device card connectors include at least one first device card connector coupled to first and second PCI busses synchronous with one another, and at least one second device card connector coupled to the second PCI bus and to a third PCI bus asynchronous with the second PCI bus. The PCI busses are thus connected so that the PCI busses may be added in groups according to the number of device card connectors supported by the interface board, and not by the loading constraints of the PCI busses themselves. By defining both synchronous and asynchronous device card connectors, device cards requiring either synchronous or asynchronous communications may be utilized by the computer device.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2000Date of Patent: December 23, 2003Assignee: Bae Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 5540384Abstract: An ultrasonic spray coating system includes a converter which converts high frequency electrical energy into high frequency mechanical energy thereby producing vibrations. The converter has a resonant frequency. A spray head is coupled to the converter and is resonant at the resonant frequency of the converter. The spray head has an atomizing surface and a feed blade to the atomizing surface and concentrates the vibrations of the converter at the atomizing surface. A source of high frequency alternating voltage is electrically connected to the converter and produces a controlled level of electrical energy at the resonant frequency of the spray head and converter whereby the atomizing surface is vibrated ultrasonically. A fluid supply applicator is in close proximity with the feed blade to the atomizing surface and spaced therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1993Date of Patent: July 30, 1996Assignee: Ultrasonic Systems, Inc.Inventors: John J.
