Abstract: A system for displaying critical and non-critical information on a screen includes, in the same housing, at least one electronic computing circuit and an electronic monitoring circuit. The electronic computing circuit is programmed to process the critical information to be displayed, construct at least one image from non-critical information and incorporate therein the critical information to be displayed in order to form, on an output of the electronic computing circuit, an image signal intended to be transmitted to the screen. The electronic monitoring circuit has an input connected to said output and is programmed to determine expected critical information for the display and to verify whether the image signal contains information corresponding to the expected critical information. Aircraft equipped with such a system.

Abstract: An on-board computer includes a microprocessor chip with a lower face and an upper face, a chip carrier having an upper face on which the microprocessor chip is mounted, and a casing configured to discharge heat generated by the microprocessor chip in operation. An interposer is disposed between the upper face and the casing. The interposer diffuses the heat transmitted by the upper face of the microprocessor chip towards the casing. The interposer has an upper surface for heat exchange with the casing that is twice or more greater than the surface area of the upper face of the microprocessor chip. The interposer has on one or more sides a peripheral wedging rim coming into contact with a side wall of the chip carrier, and has no more than two peripheral wedging rims, in order to leave the other sides of the interposer free.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring transactions in an on-chip system comprising at least one main master module, at least one secondary master module, at least one slave module and a bus connected to each module, the bus comprising interconnection means to make at least one common slave module communicate with at least one main master module and with at least one secondary master module, the method comprising the following steps implemented during each transaction between a secondary master module and a common slave module: starting a counter upon initial detection of a transaction start signal, waiting for a final detection of a transaction end signal within a predefined time T, closing the transaction if the time tc that has elapsed since starting the counter is greater than predefined time Tmax, and reinitialising the counter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device making it possible to manage a flash memory component designed for onboard computers notably in the aviation field. In particular, the invention makes it possible to use NAND flash memory media in fields such as aviation, by virtue of its judicious organisation and management of the flash memory components. On the one hand it makes it possible to optimise and on the other hand to control the lifetime of the flash memories.
