Alexander Bernard Flavian Rebello has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and system for reverse and re-engineering parts
    Patent number: 7219043
    Abstract: A method of re-engineering a part includes generating a parametric master model for the part from an editable geometry for the part and generating a manufacturing context model from a design master model. The design master model includes the parametric master model, and the manufacturing context model includes a number of tooling features. The method further includes creating a tooling master model from the manufacturing context model. The tooling master model includes a tooling geometry for the part. A system for re-engineering a part includes a part design master model module configured to generate the parametric master model from the editable geometry and a tooling master model module configured to receive the parametric master model, to generate the manufacturing context model from the parametric master model, and to create the tooling master model from the manufacturing context model.

  • Method and apparatus for internal feature reconstruction
    Patent number: 7015473
    Abstract: A method for reconstructing internal surface geometry of a part includes registering a thickness map for the part with external surface data for the part. The thickness map has a number of thickness data. Internal surface data is generated using the thickness map and the external surface data to reconstruct the internal surface geometry.

  • Method and system for creating a tooling master model for manufacturing parts
    Patent number: 6856842
    Abstract: A method of creating a tooling master model for a manufacturing process for a part includes generating a manufacturing context model from a parametric model for the part. The tooling master model includes a tooling geometry for the part, and the manufacturing context model includes a number of tooling features. A system for generating the tooling master model includes a computer aided design (CAD) system configured to receive the parametric model and to generate the manufacturing context model from the parametric model.

  • Managing how current files of a product are at the time of release
    Patent number: 6430455
    Abstract: A system and method for managing the currentness of files of a product at the time of release to manufacturing. A data extractor and populator extracts attributes of features in a master model and populates the extracted information in drawing files and NC machining data files. A version control system manages versions of the master model and the files. A release unit releases a version of the files that is current with the latest version of the master model.
