Microbus.

Abstract

Microbus is a technique designed to offer the advantages of Standard Electronic Modules (SEMs) without the disadvantages or shortcomings vis-a-vis Air Force objectives. The Air Force desires the logistics supportability standardization advantages of SEMs without the constraints of fixed function and suppression of the capability to evolve technologically, i.e. to maintain form and fit and relax the constraint on function. Microbus offers a way to accomplish this in modern circuitry using bus structures to replace back planes or wiring harnesses and in fact proposes to extend the buses on to the PC boards, subboards or daughter boards and even on to IC chips.
