Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for evaluating a maturity of a model for a product. A selected maturity state is determined by a computer system for the model for evaluation. A determination is made by the computer system as to whether the model meets a set of criteria for the selected maturity state and a confidence level for the selected maturity state. A model action is performed by the computer system using the model when the model meets the set of criteria for the selected maturity state and the confidence level for the selected maturity state.

Abstract: Example systems and methods for nondestructive ultrasonic testing are provided. One example system includes at least one air-coupled ultrasonic transducer configured to emit primary ultrasound waves that interfere with each other. The primary ultrasound waves include fundamental frequency components that are multiples of each other and emitted simultaneously in locked phase. Further, the interference of the primary ultrasound waves generates a plurality of frequency harmonics in the air. The system also includes at least one receiver configured to receive ultrasonic waves emitted from an object under test.

Abstract: Methods and systems for use in generating read-only production operating systems including at least one application for use with a target workstation are disclosed. One example method includes providing a baseline operating system based on a hardware profile of the target workstation, executing an installation script for a target application, adding at least one resource to the baseline operating system based on an error message indicating at least one resource called by the installation script is not found, and writing, at a computing device, a production operating system to a read-only media. The production operating includes the baseline operating system and the at least one resource.

Abstract: A spacecraft may include an upper core structure or a lower core structure. The upper core structure may include an upper cylinder for supporting an upper spacecraft of a dual-manifest launch configuration. The lower core structure may include a lower cylinder for supporting a lower spacecraft with the upper cylinder mounted on top of the lower cylinder. The upper cylinder may have an upper cylinder inner diameter that may be substantially similar to the lower cylinder inner diameter.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of continually monitoring and detecting in real-time a condition of an apparatus is detailed. In one step, an apparatus is continually monitored in real-time using continual real-time images of the apparatus taken by at least one camera. In another step, the continual real-time images of the apparatus from the at least one camera are communicated to at least one computer processing unit. In still another step, the continual real-time images of the apparatus are processed using at least one software program embedded in the at least one computer processing unit in order to monitor and detect in real-time a condition of the apparatus.

Abstract: A tool-in-tool device driven by a single power spindle performs multiple operations on a workpiece. The device includes a first tool holder for holding a tool such as a drill, and a second tool holder surrounding mounted on the first tool holder. The second tool holder may hold a second tool such as clamp for clamping the drill to the workpiece, a guide bushing for guiding the drill and a chip breaker for breaking workpiece chips generated by a drilling operation. Multiple interchangeable bushings allow matching the bushing to the size of the drill.

Abstract: A system and method for batch-feeding existing data that is formatted for one type of software application to another type of software application. The steps to provide the existing data to another type of software application include assembling the data into one-to-one tables, providing the one-to-one tables to a server, receiving the one-to-one tables at the server, reformatting the data from the one-to-one tables to a reformatted form according to rules of the software application, and entering the data in the reformatted form in a database. The system allows a user to save the existing data in the one-to-one tables on a share drive that is also accessible to a server. The user is then able to initiate the reformatting of the data by emailing the server a request to reformat the data.
