  • Ontology model to accelerate engineering analysis in manufacturing
    Patent number: 8510254
    Abstract: An engineering analysis tool comprises a unified resource model-based (URM) objective and tool mapping capability for linking engineering analysis objectives to analysis tools. A Markov chain-based analysis plan generator (APTG) for reusing engineering analysis plans may be included in the engineering analysis tool. Further, the engineering analysis tool comprises a graphic symptom capturer (GSC) that auto-captures engineering perceived fault symptoms from engineering data analysis (EDA) tools.
