An interface between a host and a bus includes label generator and a memory. The label generator responds to bus label signals from the bus, for providing label signals. The memory responds to bus signals from the bus, for providing memory host signals to the bus. The memory further reponds to the label signals from the label generator for storing the label signals as label memory signals. The memory further responds to host signals from the host, either for providing memory bus signals to the host when the host reads memory bus information from the memory, or for providing said label memory signals to the host when the host reads label memory information from the memory.

A flight control system includes a dual stage actuator for moving a control surface. Each stage includes several control valves that are controlled independently to provide a desired redundancy. A flight controller generates a position command that is indicative of the position desired for the control surface. A first communication link is provided between several flight controllers to share information. Each of the flight controllers forwards the position command to actuator remote processing unit. The actuator remote processing unit receives position commands and generates a command signal that controls movement of the actuator using the control valves. Each of the actuator remote processing units is linked through a second communication link. Feedback and balancing of the different control valves is provided by the visibility accorded each actuator remote processing unit by the second communication link.

A signal selection system has input thereto a plurality of redundant input signals having varying values along with signals indicative of the validity of the plurality of input signals, comparison logic compares all possible pairwise combinations of the input signals to determine which input signal in each of the input signal pairs has the greater value or to determine if the input signals in each pair have equal values. Mid value selection logic determines which one or more of the values of the input signals from the plurality of valid input signals are to be used to determine the output signal according to a mid value selection criterion. The selection logic has a plurality of combinational logic elements arranged to execute predetermined Boolean logic equations in determining which one or more of the values of the input signals from the plurality of valid inputs are to be used to determine the output signal according to the predetermined mid value selection criterion.

A reconfigurable interface provides device-specific processing through software rather than hardware. The reconfigurable interface that samples an output from at least one device and converts it to a digital signal. The digital signal can then be processed in any desired manner, such as to extract intelligence or condition the signal. The conversion and the processing are controlled by data in a configuration table, which are easily modified and reconfigured to accommodate different systems and devices. The same reconfigurable interface can be used for any type of device and the devices do not require customized hardware interfaces to communicate with a signal processor.

A system automatically detects singular faults in diode or'd power bus circuit comprised of a plurality of diodes. The system includes a diode test circuit that selectively applies a voltage pulse to one of the plurality of diodes and detects the presence of singular faults based on the monitored response to the voltage pulse.

A method () for fault detection in a system under control includes monitoring a command value and a wraparound signal () by a fault detection module (); determining a standard deviation of the command value () by the fault detection module; determining a standard deviation of the wraparound signal () by the fault detection module; determining a ratio of the standard deviation of the command value to the standard deviation of the wraparound signal () by the fault detection module; and determining the presence or absence of a fault in the system under control by the fault detection module based on the ratio () by the fault detection module. A fault detection module () and a computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium containing computer code that, when executed by a computer, implements a method () for fault detection are also provided.
