Filed:

Sep 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/241381

Inventors:

Joseph Renton - Orange CA, US
Eric Hicks - Anaheim Hills CA, US
William Isley - Covina CA, US
Steven Hawkins - San Dimas CA, US

International Classification:

G08B021/00

US Classification:

340/945000

Abstract:

A system and method of acquiring, processing and presenting data gathered by an in-flight aircraft server, used for in-flight entertainment, for example, provides for off-loading and secure online storage of various forms of data for each authorized user. The system supports customization as dictated by the proprietary data formats of authorized users. Through a dedicated website, data from aircraft is uploaded, converted to a usable format and archived into a uniquely structured database. Through the website, an authorized user may generate reports based on the achieved data which may contain charts, graphs, calculated statistical information, a conversion of the data to a common format like a Microsoft Word or Excel document, for example.

Abstract:

A plurality of differential encoders encodes a plurality of parallel data bit streams. XOR gates interleave the outputs of the differential encoders forming a single high speed differentially encoded bit stream with a data rate unachievable using only a differential encoder. The high speed data stream provides a single differentially encoded input to a differential phase shift keying modulator that generates symbols for a high speed optical communication system.
