A configurable, connectorized method and apparatus for driving a solenoid coil reduces energy consumption and heating of the solenoid coil, allows detection of the solenoid state, and simplifies connections to the solenoid.

Configurable solenoid actuation method and apparatus

An input/output module includes a device communication connector apparatus for connecting at least one conductor between the module and at least one device and interface apparatus for causing the module to place any of a plurality of signals on any of a plurality of contacts of the device communication connector apparatus. The interface apparatus includes at least one electronic integrated circuit providing a selectable interconnection apparatus to a particular one of the contacts. The interface apparatus is configurable by a user of the module. A method of configuring the module includes providing inputs on a personal computer, communicating with a web server embedded in the module, to determine a specific interconnection apparatus for each of the contacts.

Electronically configurable connector module

An input/output module for implementing directions from a controller for sending and receiving signals to and from devices. The input/output module includes a microprocessor for communication with, and receiving programming from the controller. The input/output module further includes device communication connectors, each having number of pins, each pin for interconnection with a cable conductor to a device. The input/output module has an ASIC for each of the pins, providing a controlled interface with the corresponding pin. Each ASIC has interconnection apparatus, selectable by the microprocessor for providing a particular interface with the pin served by the ASIC.

System for programmed control of signal input and output to and from cable conductors

A system, method, and computer program is disclosed for managing integrated real-time information about air flight trips, providing that information to multiple users, and receiving feedback from multiple users. A plurality of user interfaces are provided for displaying a plurality of types of information about a real time progress air trips as planned by an operational center. A communication channel is provided for receiving feedback information from the users and associating that feedback with a particular aspect of the trip.

Air travel information and computer data compilation, retrieval and display method and system

A system, method, and computer program for managing integrated real-time information about air flight trips and providing that information to multiple users by way of a flight operations system (FOS), including a data engine (DE) and render engine (RE). A computerized Upstream Distribution Center (UDC) containing a packet manager connects to the FOS and to a user interface including a computer display using text, image and color. The UDC is connectable to multiple user interfaces containing copies of the computer program through computer networks by which information is collected and propagated on a real time basis using object-relational mapping, object caching and proactive notification or &ldquo;push&rdquo; technology.
