Patent number: 9852313Abstract: A functional node for an information transmission network and corresponding network are disclosed. In one aspect, the functional node includes at least one module for distributing messages between input and output ports. The distribution module includes at least one combination of at least three ports, including a first input port connected to a second output port by a first capability for unconditionally propagating messages, not depending on the messages. The first and/or second ports are connected to a third port by a second capability for conditionally propagating messages, depending on the messages.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignees: Thales, Systemes Embarques AerospatiauxInventors: Augustin Mignot, Alexis Dubrovin, Patrice Toillon, Paul Ortais

Publication number: 20150222569Abstract: An information transmission network and corresponding functional node are disclosed. In one aspect, the information transmission network includes functional nodes connected to one another by an information transmission capability. The information is in the form of discrete messages propagating from node to node in the network. At least some of the nodes have at least two operating modes, one operating mode defined only by the configuration of the physical layer of the node referred to as 1 of the OSI model and one operating mode defined at least by that layer and the link layer of the node referred to as 2 of the OSI model.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2015Publication date: August 6, 2015Inventors: Augustin MIGNOT, Alexis DUBROVIN, Patrice TOlLLON, Paul ORTAIS

Patent number: 7684909Abstract: The invention concerns a data transmission method, and its implementing device, in an integrated closed system of computers, such as, for example, in an aerial or land vehicle, comprising a step which consists in transmitting point-to-point data between two transmission nodes, for example via a wire system, each node having one or more channels enabling each transmission with a single node, a step which consists in converting data for transmission thereof, for example, in series. The invention is characterized in that it does not comprise any step of physical or logical control for authorizing and/or validating the transmitted data so that any data reception at a node is unconditionally followed by a retransmission, that is the control of the dataflows is implicitly determined by the cabled topology used.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Inventor: Paul Ortais
