Abstract
Systems and a method for a crash protected memory (CPM) are provided. The CPM includes a housing that includes a wall wherein at least a portion of the wall is at least partially transparent to radio frequency (RF) radiation. The housing includes an interior cavity sealable from an exterior of the housing. The CPM also includes a receiver positioned within the interior of the housing. The receiver is configured to communicatively couple to a transmitter through the at least a portion of the wall. The CPM further includes a memory for storing data related to the operation of a vehicle communicatively coupled to the receiver.
Claims20
A crash protected memory (CPM) system comprising:
- a housing comprising a wall, at least a portion of said wall is at least partially transparent to radio frequency (RF) radiation, said housing comprising an interior cavity sealable from an exterior of said housing;
- a receiver positioned within the interior of said housing, said receiver configured to communicatively couple to a transmitter through said at least a portion of said wall;
- and
- a memory for storing data related to the operation of a vehicle communicatively coupled to said receiver.
A method for transmitting data to a protected memory system enclosed in a sealed housing, said method comprising:
- positioning a receiver in an interior cavity of the housing;
- positioning a transmitter proximate an exterior of the housing;
- and
- transmitting at least one of data and electrical power from the transmitter to the receiver through the housing.
A flight data recorder comprising:
- a data acquisition unit configured to receive a plurality of data signals related to the operation of a vehicle;
- and
- a crash protected memory (CPM) system comprising:
- a housing comprising a wall, at least a portion of said wall is substantially transparent to radio frequency (RF) radiation, said housing comprising an interior cavity sealable from an exterior of said housing;
- a receiver positioned within the interior of said housing, said receiver configured to communicatively couple to a transmitter through said at least a portion of said wall;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to said receiver, said memory configured to store the plurality of data signals received through the receiver.
