  • Publication number: 20250093849
    Abstract: An embedded processing system includes processing circuitry, a memory system, and a plurality of attached modular components. The attached modular components are each provided with a nameplate including at least part and serial number data. The processing circuitry is operable to receive the nameplate information from each of the attached modular components and compare the received nameplate information with stored nameplate information for the particular attached modular component. The processing circuitry is operable to communicate with the attached modular component if the received nameplate information matches the stored nameplate information and identify a fault if the received nameplate information conflicts with the stored nameplate information. A method and an assembly are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250094548
    Abstract: An embedded processing system and access combination includes processing circuitry, a memory system, and a plurality of user credential files. The user credential files include an encrypted user identifier, and an encrypted list of authorized task roles the particular user would have within the embedded processing system. Expected credentials from the user credential files are stored in the memory system. The processing system is programmed to receive a user credential file from a user, and compare expected credentials within the memory system to identify if the user is an authorized user. The processing system is programmed to allow access to an authorized user and deny access to an unauthorized user and determine what task roles are authorized for the authorized user, and deny access for the authorized user to other tasks. A method and an assembly are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12095791
    Abstract: A cyber monitored control system includes a controller with a first processing resource operable to execute a control application for a controlled system. The cyber monitored control system also includes a cyber monitor with a second processing resource isolated from the first processing resource. The cyber monitor is operable to evaluate a plurality of inputs to the cyber monitored control system with respect to a cyber threat model, verify one or more update rates of the controller, apply trending using the cyber threat model to distinguish between a fault and a cyber attack, and isolate one or more subsystems of the cyber monitored control system based on identifying the cyber attack.

  • Patent number: 11815890
    Abstract: A control assembly for an aircraft system according to an example of the present disclosure includes a multi-core processor that has a plurality of cores coupled to a communications module and to an arbitration module. The communications module is operable to communicate information between the plurality of cores and one or more aircraft modules. The plurality of cores include first and second cores operable to concurrently execute a first discrete set of software instructions to generate respective instances of an output. The arbitration module is operable to communicate each and every one of the respective instances to control the one or more aircraft modules. A method of operating an aircraft system is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11784987
    Abstract: An embedded processing system includes processing circuitry, a memory system, and a reprogramming control. The reprogramming control is configured to receive a transaction indicator and user credentials from a reprogramming system, the transaction indicator identifying a type of configuration item to program in the memory system. The reprogramming control is further configured to access user authentication data to authenticate authority of a user to program the memory system based on the transaction indicator and user credentials and receive an encrypted configuration item. The reprogramming control is further configured to decrypt and authenticate the encrypted configuration item as a decrypted and authenticated configuration item responsive to authenticating the authority of the user, and store the decrypted and authenticated configuration item in the memory system.

  • Patent number: 11726859
    Abstract: A redundant control system includes a plurality of channels each including a processing system configured to execute a control application for a controlled system. The redundant control system also includes a switchover artificial intelligence control operable to evaluate a state of the channels of the redundant control system, monitor a plurality of input/output data and communication data of the channels, and apply a fault model to determine one or more component faults and system faults of the channels based on the state, the input/output data, and the communication data. The switchover artificial intelligence control is further operable to command a switchover of a control function from one of the channels having a lower health status to one of the channels having a higher health status based on the component faults and system faults of the channels.
