Title: Payload interposer (PIP) system and control software

Abstract

A payload interposer (PIP) system and its control software provide an interface between a space vehicle and a payload. The PIP board facilitates power and communications between a command and data handler (CDH) of the space vehicle and the payload. A microcontroller of the PIP board may control operation of the payload, format messages between the space vehicle and the payload, and extract data from the payload for downlink via the space vehicle.

Control system and method for payload control in mobile platform cranes

Patent Robinett, III, Rush D. (Tijeras, NM); Groom, Kenneth N [Albuquerque, NM]; Feddema, John T [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

A crane control system and method provides a way to generate crane commands responsive to a desired payload motion to achieve substantially pendulation-free actual payload motion. The control system and method apply a motion compensator to maintain a payload in a defined payload configuration relative to an inertial coordinate frame. The control system and method can further comprise a pendulation damper controller to reduce an amount of pendulation between a sensed payload configuration and the defined payload configuration. The control system and method can further comprise a command shaping filter to filter out a residual payload pendulation frequency from themore » desired payload motion.« less

Method and apparatus for single-stepping coherence events in a multiprocessor system under software control

Patent Blumrich, Matthias A [Ridgefield, CT]; Salapura, Valentina [Chappaqua, NY]

An apparatus and method are disclosed for single-stepping coherence events in a multiprocessor system under software control in order to monitor the behavior of a memory coherence mechanism. Single-stepping coherence events in a multiprocessor system is made possible by adding one or more step registers. By accessing these step registers, one or more coherence requests are processed by the multiprocessor system. The step registers determine if the snoop unit will operate by proceeding in a normal execution mode, or operate in a single-step mode.

Hardware/software based indirect time stamping methodology for proactive hardware/software event detection and control

Patent Dombrowa, Marc B.; Hoenicke, Dirk I.; Sahoo, Ramendra K.; ...

An improved method and apparatus for time stamping events occurring on a large scale distributed network uses a local counter associated with each processor of the distributed network. Each counter resets at the same time globally so that all events are recorded with respect to a particular time. The counter is stopped when a critical event is detected. The events are masked or filtered in an online or offline fashion to eliminate non-critical events from triggering a collection by the system monitor or service/host processor. The masking can be done dynamically through the use of an event history logger. Themore »« less

Modular space vehicle boards, control software, reprogramming, and failure recovery

Patent Judd, Stephen; Dallmann, Nicholas; McCabe, Kevin; ...

A space vehicle may have a modular board configuration that commonly uses some or all components and a common operating system for at least some of the boards. Each modular board may have its own dedicated processing, and processing loads may be distributed. The space vehicle may be reprogrammable, and may be launched without code that enables all functionality and/or components. Code errors may be detected and the space vehicle may be reset to a working code version to prevent system failure.

Hardware support for software controlled fast reconfiguration of performance counters

Patent Salapura, Valentina; Wisniewski, Robert W.

Hardware support for software controlled reconfiguration of performance counters may include a plurality of performance counters collecting one or more counts of one or more selected activities. A storage element stores data value representing a time interval, and a timer element reads the data value and detects expiration of the time interval based on the data value and generates a signal. A plurality of configuration registers stores a set of performance counter configurations. A state machine receives the signal and selects a configuration register from the plurality of configuration registers for reconfiguring the one or more performance counters.
