Publication number: 20220365518Abstract: A method of developing a product is provided that includes generating a digital system model (DSM) that describes the product and a manufacturing process for the product, and generating a digital twin (DTw) of an instance of a component of the manufacturing process, the DTw including a digital replica of the instance. The method includes receiving attribute data for attributes of process/process characteristics subject to sources of variation that affect product quality. The digital replica is executed with input of the attribute data, and thereby updating the DTw to replicate the instance of the component of the manufacturing process as performed. A data analysis of the manufacturing process is performed based on the DTw as updated, and the manufacturing process is modified based on the data analysis to reduce variability in one or more product characteristics. The DTws of multiple instances may be used to generate further improvement.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Guijun Wang, Joseph R.

Patent number: 10096159Abstract: An apparatus is provided for directing movement of a physical object within a three-dimensional (3D) navigable region of an environment. Generally, the apparatus divides the navigable region into geometric segments, and assigns a sequence of the geometric segments from a location to a destination to, and for movement of, the physical object. That is, the apparatus assigns a next geometric segment to the physical object moving in a current geometric segment in the sequence. The next geometric segment is then analyzed based on operational parameters of the physical object and a condition of the environment. In at least one increment, the next geometric segment is adjusted and reassigned to the physical object based thereon. Thereafter, the apparatus directs the physical object to move from the current geometric segment into the next geometric segment so assigned, or into the next geometric segment so reassigned in the at least one increment.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Robert John Rencher, Guijun Wang, John W.

Patent number: 10033829Abstract: A method, apparatus, and scheduling system for managing a mix of time-critical messages and general messages. Messages, which are referenced by message identifiers stored in a transmission queue buffer, are scheduled for transmission using a schedule configuration table. The schedule configuration table defines an order for processing a mix of time-critical messages and general messages. The messages are scheduled according to the characteristics for time-critical messages and general messages defined in columns of configuration tables and status tables. The messages that have been scheduled are transmitted from an end system in which the time-critical messages are prioritized during transmission over the general messages.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Yong-Long Ling, Guijun Wang, Dongliang Lin, Changzhou Wang

Patent number: 9621401Abstract: A dynamic network and a method for performing data analysis within a dynamic network. A query request generated by a root node in the dynamic network is propagated through other nodes in the dynamic network in a number of request messages. A number of response messages responding to the query request are received at the root node from the other nodes in the dynamic network. Data analysis is performed using data contained in the number of response messages as the number of response messages is received. A request index that keeps count of the number of request messages propagated through the dynamic network is updated using a tracking parameter in each of the number of response messages.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Guijun Wang, Changzhou Wang, Haiqin Wang

Patent number: 9419854Abstract: Methods and systems for information state sharing and consistency maintenance in a distributed and decentralized network are presented. At a first node of a network, a first information state message (ISM) in a hypothesis phase is generated. The first ISM is propagated to at least one node of a spanning tree of the network, the spanning tree having a root at the first node. A verification opinion is received from the at least one node indicating if a state in the first ISM is verified by the at least one node. A consensus regarding the state in the first ISM is determined based on the verification opinion from the at least one node. A second ISM indicating a confirmed phase is propagated to the spanning tree if the consensus on the state of the ISM is reached.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Guijun Wang, Haiqin Wang, Changzhou Wang
