US Patent:

7275053, Sep 25, 2007

Filed:

Sep 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/654188

Inventors:

Michael Gardner - Marietta GA, US
Brad Snyder - Bethlehem GA, US
Todd Zeiler - Sharpsburg GA, US

Assignee:

Cingular Wireless II, LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 3, 707 10

Abstract:

A surveillance and reporting system (SRS) is provided that enables a user to monitor and generate reports from multiple related sources pertaining to events associated with each of these sources. The SRS is internet based, thereby providing access to remote users. The SRS also provides for identification of the sources by combining multiple databases related to each source in a tabular form in order to enable generation of complete reports and in order to enable sorting and filtering based upon more extensive source identification criteria. The SRS also accommodates changes in the underlying identification data by revising or generating up to date tables containing current identifying data for each of the multiple sources in a tabular form, thereby avoiding the need to reprogram the report procedures as a result of changes in the underlying data. The internet user may configure reports from a control panel that allows the user to select and to group multiple sources and to filter and sort data relating to the statistical performance of those sources with the most recent up to date information generated from each of the multiple sources. The reports may be in the form of tables, graphs or charts.

Abstract:

An avionic digital signal processing system for a plurality of different types of input sensors such as radar, electro-optical, and electronic warfare that comprises a PI bus operating at 12. 5 MHz and a data network subbus operating at 20 MHz. A plurality of array processor groups each having a plurality of 1750 CPU's are controlled over the PI-bus and receive their sensor inputs over the subbus data network. A plurality of general purpose 1750A computers are connected to the PI-bus for communicating control and narrow band information. A distributed operating system resides in the 1750A central processing units and includes provision for re-routing the signal paths in the event of failure of modules.
