Patent number: 11797871Abstract: To identify the sweet spot for criteria attributes (i.e., variables) within a complex system, a data source having objectively acceptable values or ranges of values for the criteria attributes for each variant of the system is generated. The identification system used to analyze the complex system to identify the sweet spot receives measurement values from a testing system that measures values of the criteria attributes from variants of the complex system and provides the measurement values to the identification system. The criteria attributes may be prioritized for determination of the sweet spot, including a selection of a value or range of values that are to be used for the most highly prioritized criteria attribute. The prioritized criteria attributes and objectively acceptable values can be used to filter the measurement values to identify the sweet spot for the variants of the complex system.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Hossein Jacob Sadri, Steven Torey, Stephen Juszczyk, Lance David Marsac, Sueha Elmir Salame

Patent number: 10428243Abstract: A method of assembling a door on a vehicle begins by identifying critical fit areas between the door seal and the door frame. Pressure indicator tape is adhered to the seal in critical fit areas and the door is closed against the seal to produce a marking on the pressure indicator tape. Intensity of the marking is visually compared to a reference pressure intensity scale to establish an observed pressure intensity level. The observed pressure intensity level may be recorded, correlated to a specific critical fit area and analyzed to make operational and design improvements to the door, door frame or seal.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: FORD MOTOR COMPANYInventors: Hossein Jacob Sadri, Stephen Juszczyk
