Patent number: 10094740Abstract: A system of non-regression tests of a designing tool including modules used to build a monitoring device of an aircraft engine is provided. The system includes a processor configured to automatically create an experience base by instrumenting behavior tests upon executing the modules, the experience base including reference input signals, sets of reference parameters, reference output signals, and collections of results of reference executions relating to the modules; start again the behavior tests on the modules depending on the corresponding reference input signals and the corresponding sets of reference parameters thus generating test output signals and collections of results of test executions; and compare the test output signals with the corresponding reference output signals and the collections of results of test execution with the corresponding collections of results of reference executions in order to test the non-regression of the designing tool.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Aurelie Gouby, Jerome Henri Noel Lacaille

Patent number: 10060831Abstract: A method for assessing whether or not the character of a value, measured by a sensor, of a physical parameter of a device is normal. The method includes implementing steps of calculating, on the basis of a regression model associated with the plurality of pairs, an estimated value of the physical parameter; calculating a related remainder calculating, on the basis of a variance model related to the plurality of pairs, an estimated value of a variance in the physical parameter; calculating an anomaly score of the measured value on the basis of the remainder, calculating the estimated value of the variance, and calculating a mean remainder value for the plurality of pairs; comparing the anomaly score of the measured value with a standard deviation threshold; and if the anomaly score is greater than the threshold, identifying the measurement as abnormal on the interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Aurelie Gouby, Valerio Gerez
