Patent number: 9736434Abstract: A method and apparatus comprising a view generator. The view generator is configured to identify a position of a mobile display device relative to an exterior of a vehicle. The view generator is further configured to identify image data from a sensor system for the vehicle that corresponds to a field of view of the mobile display device from the position of the mobile display device relative to the vehicle. The view generator is further configured to display an external view for the vehicle on the mobile display device using the image data.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Ty Larsen, Edwin C. Lim

Patent number: 8344912Abstract: A method and apparatus in a sensor network in an aircraft for collecting data about the aircraft. The sensor network in the aircraft collects the data about the aircraft. The sensor network comprises a set of wireless sensors attached to a first set of locations for the aircraft, a set of wireless routers attached to a second set of locations for the aircraft, and a set of gateways connected to an aircraft data processing system. The set of wireless routers is capable of receiving the data in wireless signals transmitted by the set of wireless sensors. The set of gateways is capable of receiving data in the wireless signals from the set of wireless routers to form received data and is capable of transmitting the received data into the aircraft data processing system.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Bradley J. Mitchell, Edwin C. Lim

Patent number: 8335608Abstract: A sensor network for monitoring vehicle operations comprises a set of wireless gateways, a plurality of wireless sensors, a plurality of wireless routers, and data processing system. The set of wireless gateways is capable of receiving emissions data from the sensor network. The plurality of wireless sensor units has sensors capable of monitoring vehicle emissions and is capable of generating the emissions data in response to monitoring the vehicle emissions. The plurality of wireless routers is capable of receiving emissions data received from the plurality of wireless sensor units and routing the emissions data received from the plurality of sensors to the set of wireless gateways. The data processing system is capable of receiving the operations data from the set of wireless gateways and capable of processing the operations data. The operations data may include data related to emissions from the vehicle or equipment.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Bradley J. Mitchell, Henry V. R. Fletcher, III, Brock J. Prince, George M. Roe, Edwin C. Lim
