  • Patent number: 11623767
    Abstract: Examples for relational time-series classification method for corrosion maintenance dispatch. A method may involve generating a self-organizing map for each parameter that corresponds to a group of aircraft. The self-organizing map organizes time-series data associated with a parameter into a two-dimensional representation. The method may further involve, for each map, identifying polar coordinates that represent a location of a particular node, in a grid of nodes within the self-organizing map, that is located closest to the time-series data organized in the two-dimensional representation. The method may then involve providing polar coordinates identified from each self-organizing map, along with indications of corrosion levels corresponding to the aircraft, as inputs into a classification model to train the classification model to determine trends between the parameters.

  • Patent number: 11341780
    Abstract: An apparatus for maintenance of an aircraft is provided. The apparatus accesses flight data for a flight of the aircraft and predicts and thereby produces a predicted state of the aircraft for a next flight of the aircraft based on the flight data. The apparatus deploys a similarity detection model to determine similarities between the flight data for the flight and a training set of flight data for previous flights of the aircraft. The similarities determined by the similarity detection model are values of independent variables of a classification model. The apparatus deploys the classification model to predict and thereby produce a predicted state of the aircraft for the next flight of the aircraft based on the values of the independent variables, and generates an alert when the predicted state of the aircraft is a fault state.
