Patent number: 10388087Abstract: A method of health management of a monitored system includes collecting component condition indicator data used to calculate a plurality of component health indicators. Component fault severity and potential failure modes are determined utilizing the component condition indicator data. The potential failure modes are ranked in order of likelihood to isolate the failure mode. A system of health management for monitored apparatus includes a fault severity module to derive a plurality of component health indicators from collected component condition indicator data, the plurality of component health indicators indicative of fault severity of a plurality of components. A fault isolation module separately derives a ranked listing of potential fault/failure modes utilizing the component condition indicator data.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventors: Isaac Bandy, James P. Cycon, James N. Rozak, Mark W. Davis, Gregory J. Kacprzynski, Nicholos A. Mackos

Patent number: 9896961Abstract: An automated method for resolving fault in an engine is disclosed. The method may include providing a reasoner module for recommending a set of maintenance actions to resolve fault in the engine, inputting steady state performance data from the engine into the reasoner module, and using the reasoner module to recommend a set of maintenance actions based at least in part on the steady state performance data. A fault resolution system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed. The fault resolution system may include at least one computer processor operatively configured to receive steady state performance data from the gas turbine engine, and recommend a set of maintenance actions to resolve fault in the gas turbine engine based at least in part on the steady state performance data.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: UNTIED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Anya R. Brunschwig, Amy Rose Grace, Bryan P. Donovan, Andrew D. Ruestow, Gregory J. Kacprzynski, Charles Pelosi

Patent number: 6895830Abstract: A system and method for testing at least one joint in a linkage includes a platform system, a torque system, an articulation assembly and a fault detection system. The platform system receives a first shaft connected to a first joint in the linkage and the torque system applies torque to the first joint without substantially rotating the first shaft or joint, a second shaft connected to a second joint in the linkage or the second joint. The articulation assembly receives the second shaft and moves the second joint in a substantially circular path without substantially rotating the first shaft or joint and the second shaft or joint. The fault detection system determines the condition of the linkage based upon detected signals emitted from the linkage while the first joint is torqued and the second joint is moved.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2002Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Rochester Institute of TechnologyInventors: Kevin B. Kochersberger, Gregory J. Kacprzynski, William Morris, Joshua R. Eckler
