Brian London 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).

  • Engine signature assessment system
    Patent number: 9097199
    Abstract: The disclosed method and system utilizes inspection information from individual components to predict a value for a system performance parameter. The predicted system performance parameter is utilized to determine if corrective action is required for any of the system components. No corrective action is recommended if the predicted system performance parameter is within desired limits. Further, corrective action for a specific component of the system is performed and indicated independent of the inspection results of a specific component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2015
    Assignee: United Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Roger Neama, Brian London, Larry R. Breen, Rocco S. Cuva, Alun L. Buttermore
  • SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DETERMINE VISIBLE DAMAGE
    Publication number: 20150138342
    Abstract: A method of calculating an amount of visible damage on a component includes capturing an image of the component, identifying an area of visible damage, calculating a size of the area, and communicating the size of visible damage to a storage device. A system for evaluating coating loss is also disclosed.

  • Guidance control system for projectiles
    Patent number: 8269156
    Abstract: A projectile is guided by employing heat, generated from the aerodynamic heating of a surface of the projectile while the projectile is in flight, to vaporize a material stored within the projectile. The resulting gas is used to guide the projectile.
