Patent number: 9846199Abstract: A vehicle includes a body and at least one propulsion unit operatively coupled to the body. The vehicle also includes an electrical power system at least partially disposed within the body. The electrical power system includes a rechargeable battery and a health management unit operatively coupled to the rechargeable battery. The health management unit includes a state of health module configured to output information corresponding to battery health based on received battery-related data. The battery-related data includes data collected in real time operation of the rechargeable battery and battery relevant fault history of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: John L. Vian, Ali R. Mansouri, Rangasamy Elangovan, Mori M. Borumand, Khaled Abdel-Motagaly

Patent number: 9639089Abstract: A gust compensation system is configured to adaptively reduce gust loads exerted into an aircraft. The gust compensation system may include a first sensor proximate to a front of the aircraft. The first sensor is configured to output a first signal. A second sensor may be distally located from the front of the aircraft. The second sensor is configured to output a second signal. A gust signal sub-system is configured to receive the first and second signals and generate a gust signal based on analysis of the first and second signals. The gust signal sub-system outputs the gust signal and may modify a load parameter signal in response to the gust signal exceeding a load alleviation threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Khaled Abdel-Motagaly, Rafael E. Caicedo, Christopher D. Dallara, Alexander C. Ho, Kioumars Najmabadi, Tze L. Siu, Paul C. Strefling, Hisako Yamashiro

Patent number: 8890480Abstract: Systems and methods for health management of rechargeable batteries are disclosed. In one embodiment, a rechargeable battery system includes a rechargeable battery, and a battery health management unit operatively coupled to the rechargeable battery and including a state of health module configured to estimate a battery health by receiving battery-related data and predicting one or more failure modes. The state of health module may further include a prognostic failure mode component configured to combine at least one flight data variable with at least one model-based prognostic. In alternate embodiments, the battery health management unit may further include a state of life module and a state of charge module.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: John L. Vian, Ali R. Mansouri, Rangasamy Elangovan, Mori M. Borumand, Khaled Abdel-Motagaly

Patent number: 7813888Abstract: Systems and methods for development testing of vehicles and components are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a position reference system and a command and control architecture. The position reference system is configured to repetitively measure one or more position and motion characteristics of one or more vehicles operating within a control volume. The command and control architecture is configured to receive the repetitively measured characteristics from the position reference system, and to determine corresponding control signals based thereon. The control signals are then transmitted to the one or more vehicles to control at least one of position, movement, and stabilization of the one or more vehicles in a closed-loop feedback manner. The system may further include a health monitoring component configured to monitor health conditions of the one or more vehicles, the control signals being determined at least in part on the health conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2006Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: John L. Vian, Ronald C. Provine, Stefan R. Bieniawski, Emad W. Saad, Paul E. R. Pigg, Gregory J. Clark, Ali R. Mansouri, Khaled Abdel-Motagaly, Charles A. Erignac, James J. Troy, Paul Murray, Jonathan P.
