Systems and methods for optimizing fleet management and production management using mobile geofences
Patent number: 12245096Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for managing mobile assets at a worksite. A system computer creates a geofence relating to the geolocation of a first communication device disposed in a first mobile asset, the data points of the geofence periodically updated according to the geolocation of the first communication device such that changes in the geolocation of the first communication device are proportionally reflected in the updated geolocation of the datapoints of the geofence. The cycle time of a second communication device disposed in a second mobile asset can be determined by determining the amount of time lapsed after the second communication device triggers the geofence. Various triggering events are described. Various shapes of the geofence are described to avoid unintended triggers of the geofence by assets, including polygonal shapes.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Foresight Intelligence Inc.Inventors: Dale Hanna, Daniel Schaefer -
Publication number: 20250012761Abstract: A method of analyzing a composite structure for damage tolerance. The method includes obtaining a structural configuration and determining at least one metric of interest for the structural configuration. A dent depth meta-model is developed based on the structural configuration, the at least one metric of interest, and information obtained from a machine learning algorithm. The at least one metric of interest provides a constraint for the dent depth meta-model and the machine learning algorithm is trained based on a historical physical test dataset of a plurality of composite components. The dent depth meta-model is utilized to estimate an impact energy to establish a threshold dent depth in the structural configuration. A computer-based simulation is performed with the structural configuration utilizing the impact energy from the dent depth meta-model. At least one design value is determined for the structural configuration based on output data generated from the computer-based simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Brian Patrick Justusson, Joseph Daniel Schaefer

Publication number: 20200300498Abstract: A countercurrent heat recovery ventilation system includes an air module assembly and heat exchanger assembly. Air module assembly made from front and back panels connected by two side panels, base plate fixed with the side panels and placed parallel between side panels and a double side radial impeller with a shaft, an electric drive form two hydraulically isolated flow canals with inlet and outlet openings. The heat exchanger assembly comprises a heat-exchanger that could be done as changeable flow side heat-exchanger made as folded corrugated fins or plates, thus each of the both flow passages split in separate flow channels. Every other channel is sealed to flow from flow same direction forcing the flow to be in opposite direction in all adjacent cannels. This forms two hydraulically isolated flow passages with intake and outtake openings connected respectively with outlet and inlet openings of the air blower assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2017Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Edward LOPATINSKY, Daniel SCHAEFER, Loftsson JOHANNES

Event-based profiles are developed by subjecting the received input events to a profiling CEP engine. Event-based profiles include data mining related and/or statistical characteristics for each input event stream. Query-based profiles are developed by subjecting the received query registration-related events to the CEP engine. Query-based profiles include data indicative of how relevant the queries performed on the input event stream(s) are and/or how those queries are relevant to the input event stream(s) on which they are performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: SOFTWARE AGInventors: Michael Cammert, Christoph Heinz, Daniel Schaefer, Tobias Riemenschneider, Juergen Kraemer
