Filed: 1999-09-20
Abstract: An electrical control system preferably for vehicles such as a transit vehicle is arranged with a plurality of separate modules each receiving input from a series of inputs and each providing a series of outputs so that the modules combined receive inputs from all of the control, transducer and other input elements of the vehicle and the modules as a whole provide output to all of the controlled elements of the vehicle. The modules communicate between one another via a communication bus and an operational program is installed in each of the modules so that all modules contain programming for the functions of each module. A replacement module is generic and thus can contain any operational program and thus can be used for many different designs of the system. As supplied, the module may contain an existing program or no operational program if not yet programmed. On a subsequent power-up after installation of the replacement module, a check program is run to determine that a replacement module is in place and to download the operational program from a selected one of the existing modules into the replacement module. This allows service personnel to readily install replacement modules without the necessity for dedication of the modules to specific design schemes.

Patent CA-2285089-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FECTEAU JEAN GILLES
IPC: G06F12/109
Filed: 1991-11-12
Abstract: Method and means are provided for simulating a contiguous data space within a computer memory, and for placing and accessing data objects of various sizes within the simulated contiguous data space. Multiple, sub-data spaces are concatenated in such a way that each page and each sub-data space in the contiguous data space are uniquely identified.  Data objects are placed in the contiguous data space and at the first reference to a page of the data object, only the segment containing the referenced page in the contiguous data space is mapped to the database storage disk. Once a data space page is mapped, the operating system can read the page into memory without requesting a disk operation from the database manager. On modifying a page, if the database disk page location is changed, the contiguous data space page is re-mapped without changing the page address in the data space. Also, modified data pages are re-written to the database storage disk in an ongoing manner set by the user, instead of at intervals set by the operating system.
