Publication number: 20240082865Abstract: A mask forming system for protecting a structure and a method of forming a mask for protecting the structure includes a masking material having a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer sandwiched together. The masking material is unrolled across a platform and a plurality of features are generated in the masking material, wherein the features include printing, kiss cutting, and double-kiss cutting the masking material. Data is printed on the first layer of the masking material. The first layer of the masking material is kiss cut. The second layer of the masking material is double-kiss cut. The third layer remains uncut and unprinted on during the formation of the mask. The masking material remains in the same orientation during printing and kiss cutting of the first layer, and the masking material remains in the same orientation during double-kiss cutting of the second layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Guerin Thomas Hollingsworth, Bryce Kenneth Hoch, Robert Frederick Rivers, Jr., Michael Saul Zelinsky, Shelly J. Collinson, Benjamin David Haygood, Jason Anson Dill

Publication number: 20230224416Abstract: Method and systems of automated document processing described herein include activating in sequence a plurality of illumination modules of an illumination source to illuminate a document, where the plurality of illumination modules are located at different positions relative to the document. The document can be imaged each time the document is illuminated by an illumination module to provide a plurality of images. A shadow profile of the document can be obtained based on the plurality of images. One or more of a boundary of the document and presence of a fastener attached to the document can be identified using the shadow profile. Any fasteners present may be removed using a robot arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Alex FIELDING, Kevin C. HALL, Kirk H.

Patent number: 11516359Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for identifying, isolating, and/or aligning sheets. An identification system can facilitate accurate identification of a sheet by (i) vacating one or more components of the system that are not the sheet from a zone of detection, and/or (ii) determining a reference axis of the sheet. An isolation system can facilitate accurate isolation of a sheet by (i) providing targeted air flow, and/or (ii) introducing a wave into the sheet. Identification systems and/or isolation systems described herein may facilitate isolation of sheets that were previously fastened together by one or more fasteners. An alignment system can facilitate accurate alignment of a first sheet at an upstream location relative to a second sheet at a downstream location via machine learning.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Ripcord Inc.Inventors: Kevin Christopher Hall, Jens Jordan Hurley, Jonathan Floyd Grubb, Joseph David Dills Hartnagle, Arthur Joseph Petron, Alex Fielding
