International Classification:

G08B 13/14

US Classification:

3405721, 3405681, 3406861

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for monitoring work flow of a resource is disclosed.

US Classification:

029897320, 029897000, 029525010, 029525130

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a mobile platform. The platform includes a structure and a member assembled to the structure. Further, the member has a first and a second surface with a thickness defined there between that is varied. The method includes leaving the member on the structure. Also, the method includes advancing a tool through the member while on the structure. The tool is stopped before the tool advances into the structure by more than about a first pre-selected tolerance. Also, a mobile platform assembly is provided that includes a structure, a member, and a fastener fastening the structure and member via a hole through the structure and assembly. The hole has a first diameter through the structure and a second diameter through the member, wherein the diameter changes within an acceptable depth range. In another preferred embodiment, a boroscope, adapted for inspecting holes having two diameters, is also provided.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

703 1, 706 59

Abstract:

A method comprises using a computer system to acquire information for design and assembly planning of commercial aircraft. The computer system uses an assembly situation model to identify causes of issues with an assembly situation. The assembly situation model includes an initial state, a final state, and an assembly process for transitioning from the initial state to the final state. The computer system stores each cause in computer memory as a relational form of parameters.

G08B 21/02
G01J 1/44

Abstract:

Systems and methods for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) light exposure in an environment are disclosed herein. The methods include detecting a UV light intensity within an environment at a plurality of spaced apart node locations and calculating a UV light intensity map based upon the UV light intensity at the plurality of spaced apart node locations. The systems include a distributed UV light exposure monitoring system that includes a plurality of UV detection nodes, a receiver, and a data analysis system. Each of the plurality of UV detection nodes includes a UV sensor configured to detect a UV light intensity at a node location and a transmitter configured to generate a UV intensity signal that is indicative of the UV light intensity. The data analysis system is programmed to calculate a UV light intensity map of the environment.

International Classification:

G01N 33/00
G01N 15/06

Abstract:

Predictive analysis of complex datasets and systems and methods including the same are disclosed herein. The methods include analyzing airborne particle count data from a cleanroom environment to predict a particle count fault condition within the cleanroom environment. The methods further include generating an airborne particle count data repository that includes particle counts within the cleanroom environment, analyzing the airborne particle count data to calculate a difference between a first rate of change and a second rate of change, and predicting the particle count fault condition responsive to the difference between the first rate of change and the second rate of change being outside a predetermined threshold range difference. The systems include computer readable storage media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a data analysis system to perform the methods. The systems also include a distributed cleanroom particle count monitoring system including a plurality of detection nodes.
