  • Patent number: 9369548
    Abstract: In an onboard aircraft computing and network system, an Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC) 629 Ethernet converter receives ARINC 629 data, transcodes the data, and inserts the data into Ethernet frames for transmission to other onboard devices. A secure communications session may be established for transmission of the transcoded data. ARINC 629 data may be received by an ARINC 629 Ethernet converter on several buses used by onboard devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Aaron N. Voigt, John R. Weed, C. L. Fagan, Tri M. Phan, Stephen C. Holstein

  • Patent number: 9003052
    Abstract: A method for air-to-ground data streaming includes receiving data, by a processor aboard an aircraft, from an LRU aboard the aircraft, encoding the data according to a data map received from a ground station, and transmitting the encoded data in real time to the ground station via a transmission link selected by a dynamic link manager, configured to identify and select a most efficient data path.
