Filed:

Jul 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/470624

Inventors:

William Holst - Glendale AZ, US
David Richard Lee - Memphis TN, US

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

701 3, 701 24, 701 35, 701 36, 244 1 R

Abstract:

A method and devices are described for wirelessly uploading and downloading data to and from a mobile vehicular platform while within range of a coordinated network of base stations that monitor the location of the vehicle and optimize data throughput using any combination of diversity and beam forming adaptive antenna techniques while the vehicle is on the ground or additionally in the case of aircraft, not only on the ground, but also during take-off, climb, en-route, holding, on-approach, touchdown and rollout. Particularly, in describing this art, the intent is to address the aspects of a quantifiable vehicle environment, where the vehicle's behavior is predictable, such as in train routes, bus routes, ship dockings and aircraft flight plans.

Appl. No.:

10/042374

Inventors:

William Holst - Renton WA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/00

US Classification:

701/003000, 340/945000

Abstract:

The system and method of the present invention provides automated electronic switching and control for data uploading of software in the form of operational programs, operational configuration or databases, collection of S/W configuration information from the various loadable avionics (but not limited to avionics) subsystems and download data between those subsystems and the ARINC 615-3 or 615A data load applications. The data load applications can be resident in existing ARINC 615 Airborne, Portable or PC-based data loaders or an optional ARINC 763 type on-aircraft Network Server System. The invention's real-time Linux based platform is also capable of hosting any data load application. The switch interface unit can be either manually controlled as a standalone replacement for existing rotary switches installed on Boeing aircraft, or remotely controlled when integrated into an ARINC 763 type Network Server System such as the Aircraft Data Services ink (ADSL). The switch interface unit functions as the aircraft system selector in the Data Load/Configuration system. The invention is line replaceable, and has many advantages over the existing manual rotary switch. The unit's design meets and exceeds the current data load interfacing requirements for avionics equipment.
