Patent number: 12150174Abstract: A method and a system for transmitting data in a carrier sense multiple access wireless network wherein a plurality of data transmission devices send respectively at least one data frame at different moments from each other. Each transmission device, when it is initialised: loads the final value of a first, second and third counter, triggers the second counter as from its initial value, triggers, when the second counter has arrived at its final value, the first, triggers, when the first counter has arrived at its final value, the third counter, which is reinitialised to its initial value and retriggered whenever the presence of data is detected on the radio medium, transfers at least one data frame when the third counter has arrived at its final value.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: SAFRAN ELECTRONICS & DEFENSEInventors: Patrice Toillon, Thiebault Jeandon, Cédric Moreau

Patent number: 10805108Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling and monitoring a peripheral in an aircraft that includes a master module connected to each slave module. Each slave module is disposed around a controlled peripheral and is connected to a port of the master module by a bidirectional link. The master module sends data frames comprising the value of a counter. Each slave module reads the value of the counter included in the data frame received, updates a counter with the value read, checks whether the value of the updated counter corresponds to a time-period index associated with the slave module and if so transfers a data frame to the master module. The master module selects, from a table comprising time period indices and identifiers, the port connecting the master module to the slave module the identifier of which is associated with the time-period index that corresponds to the counter's value.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN ELECTRONICS & DEFENSEInventors: Patrice Toillon, Albert Auphan, Martin Wendling
