Research abstract
Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a new approach to Digital Data Download (D3) with Crash Survivable Memory. Based on this approach we will develop a system called Flight Anomalous Event Recorder Information Technology Open (FAERITO) D3, tocollect and quickly download hours of video, audio, and sensor diagnostic data. This system will use 3400 g crash-survivable PCMCIA packaging cushioned with aerogel, which is an outstanding thermal insulator and 3400 g crush protector. The FAERITO systemwill be compatible with SDRS, CFSIR, and FLDR, all of which will be integrated into the single FAERITO package. The crash-survivable-memory FAERITO system will be based on non-volatile newest-generation multi-Gbyte flash memory and POC's soft-computingand soft-communication (SC2) hypercompression technology, which offers up to 4000:1 compression for TV-class video. It will enable automatic recording of anomalous events (both spatial and temporal) without a priori knowledge of the specific nature ofthese events. FAERITO will also incorporate wireless sensor LAN technology that is still unknown to present commercial (or military) 2G and 2.5G wireless telephony, and which is equivalent to futuristic 3G wireless units. It will provide capabilities totransfer TV-class imagery, video, imaging radar, teleconferences, and other interactive and IP video information.Many commercial applications will benefit from the diverse components and system features of FAERITO information technology, including:emerging generations of interactive wireless video (3G wireless phone), IP-video, cellular video phones, e-commerce security, video surveillance, video games, telemedicine, robotics, physical protection, video conferencing, MPEG-4, and finally, civilianFAA black-box flight data recorders.
