FULL FIELD IMAGING CASSETTE FOR MAMMOGRAPHY

Not Available New technology advances and new requirements are causing avionics equipment to exceed its infrastructure's performance capabilities. While improvements are being brought into the advanced aircraft programs, there is a need to support both legacy systems and newer, more capable instrumentation systems on the same platform. New technology systems require more bandwidth that the current CAIS bus system can supply. This requires a higher speed replacement bus, being created today by the NextGenBus program. Fibre Channel Standard is a promising candidate as a basis for this design, but there is still a need to support the legacy CAIS-based systems. An innovative solution is required to bridge the gap until all instrumentation systems can be transitioned to the NexGenBus. The solution proposed herein is to bridge Fibre Channel Standard data over to the legacy CAIS bus via a low-cost, innovative interface module.
