Patent number: 10165340Abstract: Data is remotely collected from a plurality of fasteners in response to a query signal wirelessly transmitted by a reader. Each of the fasteners includes a sensor for measuring a parameter related to the stress on the fastener. A device adapted to be attached to each of the fasteners receives the query signal, activates the sensor to measure the parameter and wirelessly transmits the data including the parameter to the reader.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Brian J Tillotson, Bradley J Mitchell, Peter E Herley, Brenda K Carlson, Kevin Y Ung, Tamaira E Ross, Steven C Venema, James T Farricker, Daniel A Hendricks, Richard R Rocks, Charles B Spinelli, David B Blackwell

Patent number: 9084267Abstract: A method includes reserving, at a wireless local area network (WLAN) controller, a first reserved communication channel from a plurality of communication channels available for use in a wireless network. The first reserved communication channel is withheld from a dynamic channel allocation process. The method includes receiving, at the WLAN controller, a request from a first device for access to the wireless network. The method further includes allocating the first reserved communication channel to the first device in response to a determination that the first device is included in a list of registered devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: James T.

Patent number: 8830976Abstract: Systems and methods for WLAN channel allocation in communication networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-based system to manage content streaming from a sender to a receiver comprises a processor and logic instructions stored in a tangible computer-readable medium coupled to the processor which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to maintain, in a memory coupled to the controller, a list of specified service set identifier (SSID) devices, maintain a plurality of communication channels available for use in a wireless network environment, define at least a first reserved communication channel from the plurality of communication channels, receive a request from an SSID device for access to wireless network resources managed by the WLAN controller, and allocate the at least a first reserved communication channel to the SSID device when the SSID device is on the list of specified SSID devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: James T.

Patent number: 8521448Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for analyzing the health of a structure by measuring the value of preload on each of a plurality of fasteners installed on the structure and correlating the measured values of preload with a set of specifications. A report is generated for each of the fasteners representing the results of the correlations. Groups of the fastener reports are used to infer the health of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Kevin Y. Ung, Arun Ayyagari, Craig F. Battles, James T. Farricker, Brian Tillotson
