  • Patent number: 10437241
    Abstract: A power plant system includes a turbine system, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor is configured to collect a first set of data regarding the turbine system. The controller is configured to receive user input regarding constraints of the turbine system, a second set of data regarding the power plant system, and the first set of data. The controller is configured to determine whether a first notification is present based on a determined status and to generate a first maintenance package based on the first notification, life odometer solutions, condition monitoring solutions, and the first set of data. The controller is configured to generate a model of implementing the first maintenance package with respect to the turbine system as well as to generate a second maintenance package based on the user input, the second set of data, the first maintenance package, and the scenario model.

  • Patent number: 8857045
    Abstract: A method of assembling a circuit board assembly is provided. The circuit board assembly includes a circuit board assembly fixture and a plurality of fixed circuits. The method includes coupling the plurality of fixed circuits to the circuit board assembly fixture. The plurality of fixed circuits includes at least one of a fully flexible circuit, a flexible circuit having stiffeners, and a rigid circuit. The fixture includes a plurality of supporting surfaces each including a first side, configured to receive at least one of the fixed circuits, and an opposite second side. The fixture includes at least one hinge, at least one fastening mechanism extending from the first side, and at least one retainer coupled to at least one of the plurality of supporting surfaces. The method includes folding the circuit board assembly fixture into a desired alignment.

  • Publication number: 20110232084
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly fixture is used in assembling a circuit board assembly. The fixture includes supporting surfaces each including a first side and an opposite second side, wherein each first side receives at least one of the fixed circuits to be coupled together using at least one flexible circuit. The fixture also includes at least one hinge to couple the supporting surfaces together, wherein the hinge enables the supporting surfaces to be folded into a desired alignment relative to each other and provides structural support for the assembly. Moreover, the fixture includes at least one fastening mechanism extending from the surface first side to retain the fixed circuits in position relative to the supporting surfaces. Further, the fixture includes at least one retainer coupled to at least one of the supporting surfaces to retain an alignment of each of the supporting surfaces relative to each other.
