Patents by Inventor Alexander J. Mayes

Alexander J. Mayes 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).

  • Patent number: 11499945
    Abstract: Creation and use of a digital twin instance (DTI) for a physical instance of the part. The DTI may be created by a model inversion process such that model parameters are iterated until a convergence criterion related to a physical resonance inspection result and a digital resonance inspection result is satisfied. The DTI may then be used in relation to part evaluation including through simulated use of the part. The physical instance of the part may be evaluated by way of the DTI or the DTI may be used to generate maintenance schedules specific to the physical instance of the part.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11143630
    Abstract: Resonance inspection of parts in which a resonance standard to which a frequency response of the part is compared is at least in part based on a property derived from testing of a witness coupon that is manufactured concurrently with the part. This approach may allow properties of a material and/or manufacturing technique used to produce the part and witness coupon to inform the resonance standard to improve testing. Approaches are described related to both empirically derived resonance standards as well as model-based resonance standards.
