Patents by Inventor Mark John Robbins

Mark John Robbins 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: 11423713
    Abstract: Systems and methods for formatting aviation data for improved aircraft fault detection, diagnosis, and maintenance are provided. One example method includes determining a plurality of available parameters associated with an aircraft. The method includes matching the plurality of available parameters against a plurality of desired parameters to identify a plurality of matched parameters that are both desired and available. The plurality of matched parameters are useful to perform fault diagnosis and prognosis for the aircraft. The method includes determining a priority level for each of the plurality of matched parameters. The method includes creating a standardized maintenance-optimized data frame configuration based at least in part on the plurality of matched parameters and the priority level for each of the plurality of matched parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2022

  • Publication number: 20170084095
    Abstract: Methods of determining an overall performance of air-conditioning system(s) are disclosed. The methods include transmitting data from a sensor operably coupled to at least one air-conditioning pack, comparing the transmitted data, determining an overall performance of the air-conditioning system(s) based on the comparing, and providing an indication of the determined overall performance of the air-conditioning system(s).

  • Patent number: 9567106
    Abstract: System and method of identifying a fault in an aircraft having at least one monitored system, including receiving operational data for the at least one monitored system during at least a portion of a flight, receiving user input data from a user input corresponding to the operation of the at least one monitored system, and identifying an actual fault condition, by a controller, when the user input data is determined to be symptomatic of the identified possible fault condition.

  • Publication number: 20160140783
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing a horizontal stabilizer system fault in an aircraft, where the method includes receiving data relevant to a characteristic of the pitch of the aircraft during flight, comparing the received data to a reference pitch characteristic, diagnosing a fault in the horizontal stabilizer system based on the comparison, and providing an indication of the diagnosed fault.
