Jeffrey William Stein has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7457732
    Abstract: System, method and computer product for baseline modeling a product or process. A service database contains process data. A preprocessor processes the data into a predetermined format. A baseline modeling component builds a baseline model from the preprocessed data, wherein the baseline model relates process performance variables as a function of process operating conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2008
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Patent number: 6832205
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically predicting timing and costs of future service events in a life cycle of a product. A database contains a plurality of service information and performance information for the product. A statistical analyzer automatically analyzes the plurality of processed service information to determine a plurality of compartment failure information. A performance deterioration rate analyzer automatically analyzes the performance deterioration rate of the product from the plurality of service information and performance information. A simulator, automatically simulates a distribution of future service events in the life cycle of the product and predicts the costs of the service events according to the plurality of compartment failure information and the performance deterioration rate analysis.

  • Patent number: 6434511
    Abstract: A computer-based method and processor for determining the equivalence of the respective mean values of physical processes used in the production of goods is provided. The method allows for inputting respective values of various parameters. A storing step allows for storing each inputted value into a memory unit, and a computing step allows for computing, based on the stored values, respective sample sizes required by the processes to determine whether the respective means of the processes are equivalent to one another within a selected equivalence range and within sufficiently acceptable probabilities. The magnitude of the respective sample sizes is sufficiently small to allow a user to experimentally demonstrate the equivalence of the respective means of the processes.
