A structure and a first panel are operably disposed with respect to the structure. A first plurality of nodes is disposed within the first panel, including a first plurality of power distribution network nodes in a first power distribution network, and wherein the first plurality of nodes further comprises a first group of nodes. A second panel is operably disposed with respect to the structure. A second plurality of nodes is disposed within the second panel, including a second plurality of power distribution network nodes in a second power distribution network isolated from the first power distribution network. The second plurality of nodes further comprises a second group of nodes. A bus guardian, separate from the two panels, electrically connects the first panel and the second panel. The bus guardian is configured to network the first group of nodes and the second group of nodes in a network.

A method and device for very quickly and accurately determining the fundamental frequency of an input analog electrical signal. The method first uses sparse range autocorrelation to determine the note which is closest to the fundamental frequency. It then uses fine range autocorrelation and interpolation to calculate more precisely the exact pitch. Smoothing is employed for both the sparse range determination and the subsequent fine range determination to reject spurious signals. Because the sparse autocorrelation produces good results with merely one or two full cycles of the fundamental frequency, the initial sparse determination can be made in less than ten milliseconds and this is updated with a fine determination less than two milliseconds later.

The invention provides a Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) module that can be operatively connected to a cockpit audio system to aurally provide a pilot messages the module receives from ground control and to allow the pilot to operate the module with spoken commands. The module includes an enunciator circuit for playing out a string of digital audio data associated with a message and a voice recognition component for recognizing spoken commands and performing tasks in response to the commands. Thus, the pilot can use CPDLC protocols to exchange information with ground control yet communicate with ground control by listening and talking as if he was communicating with a voice radio. The module can also visually present messages and other information and receive input from programmable buttons and a knob. The functions of the buttons and knob change as the operational state of the module changes. For example, when the module displays current messages, pushing a button causes the module to perform a task, and when the module displays possible responses to a message, pushing the same button causes the module to perform a different task. Furthermore, the module can include, visually present and/or aurally provide a checklist of tasks to be completed when a message associated with the checklist is received or sent by the module.

An improved aural/visual checklist system is presented. One embodiment of the system comprises a processor which controls the operation of the checklist system and memory connected to the processor. The memory stores alphanumeric data arranged in a set of predetermined checklists, each of which has a set of predetermined tasks and audio files associated with each predetermined task within each set of predetermined tasks. The system further comprises a display connected to the memory which displays the alphanumeric data stored in the memory. Other embodiments of the system further comprise an input device connected to the processor which enables an operator of the checklist system to scroll backward or forward though each set of predetermined tasks within each set of predetermined checklists and an audio output circuit connected to the processor which plays an audio file associated with a predetermined task within a set of predetermined tasks, the audio file playing when the associated predetermined task is displayed on the display means.

A circuit for multiplexing three or more audio band electrical signals into two audio band electrical signals which can be provided to a stereo input and a circuit and computer method for demultiplexing the signals. In particular, six signals from the six strings of a guitar are multiplexed for stereo audio analog input to a sound card in a personal computer where the signals are digitized and then, using software running on the computer, demultiplexed into six signals from which the frequencies above 4. 5 kHz have been lost.

A communications system within a vehicle, typically an airplane, is provided. In one embodiment, the communications system comprises a plurality of nodes and wherein each node has a network interface component connected to a communication network. The communication network is configured to communicate data in a serial, time-division multiplexed (TDM) format using an embedded clock signal. Further, a primary master clock within one of the plurality of nodes provides a clock signal for the embedded clock signal for use with the TDM protocol. At least one input device is connected to one of the nodes and converts analog input to a digital format at a sample rate determined by the primary master clock. Additionally, at least one output device is also connected to one of the nodes and output device also converts digital data to an analog format at the same sample rate determined by the primary master clock.
