  • Patent number: 11805099
    Abstract: A computing system has a computing device. The computing system has an input data path, which unidirectionally connects an interface device to the computing device, and an output data diode, which unidirectionally connects the computing device to the interface device. The input data path has a data lock which is connected to the interface device by a first terminal and to the computing device by a second terminal. The data lock has a storage unit for storing data and is configured such that the storage unit can be selectively connected solely to the first or second terminal but not to both terminals simultaneously. The computing device accepts data from the interface device solely if the data is transmitted to the computing device from the interface device via the input data path within a transmission session initiated by the computing device using the output data diode.

  • Publication number: 20230166478
    Abstract: A composite wingbox structure formed of reinforced thermoplastic. The composite includes carbon fiber reinforcement and a plurality of insulation elements to localize the heat formed during the process of manufacturing the structure. The process of manufacturing the wingbox includes the steps of interleaving a series of insulations elements within a plurality of laminae and consolidating the insulation elements and laminae to form a laminate. The laminate is then aligned with a support structure such that the insulation elements overlie the supports structure. The laminate is then fused to the support structure using a non-contact heating process, such as inductive welding.

The copied log data and the corresponding metadata are transmitted to the second network via a unidirectional coupling unit in a reaction-free manner. The lot data is checked and ordered chronologically in the second network using the metadata. Thus, a synchronized copy of the log data from the first network is promptly provided in the second network.
