Patent number: 10466937Abstract: The system and method of implementing a high reliability flash memory recorder comprising warm spare and error code correction bytes across several multi-chip modules. The use of redundant field programmable gate arrays and/or processors for command and control increases redundancy. The system and method has lookup table-based mechanisms combined with programming to determine when to substitute a warm spare byte as well as when to declare a block of memory as “bad” and no longer to be used. The system may use multiple memory banks with power switching per bank to reduce power consumption as well as increase reliability when the array is not being accessed.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Sustems Integration Inc.Inventor: Richard W. Berger

Patent number: 6196569Abstract: A binding includes an upper attachment connected to a boot, a lower attachment connected to a board, a coupler attached to one of the upper and lower attachments, and a coupling mount attached to the other of the upper and lower attachments. The coupling mount and the coupler are configured to automatically engage with each other to lock the upper attachment to the lower attachment when a user wearing the boot steps onto the lower attachment and to permit rotation of the upper attachment relative to the lower attachment when the upper attachment is locked to the lower attachment. A release actuator is actuated to disengage the coupler and the coupling mount. A lock locks the boot in a selected rotary position relative to the board. The coupler includes a collar and a sleeve positioned within the collar. The collar is rotatable relative to the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Inventors: Richard W. Berger, Brant W. Berger
