Patent number: 10831946Abstract: A multi-configuration massive model system. The system comprises a processor unit and a comparator configured to run on the processor unit, a memory, and a configuration manager. The comparator compares sets of parts for two or more configurations of a vehicle to form a list comprising a group of common parts and a group of unique parts. The memory is configured to store a massive model dataset of the configurations of the vehicle with a list of the group of common parts and the group of unique parts for the configurations of the vehicle. The configuration manager, configured to run on the processor unit, receives input of a selected configuration and performs an action relating to the vehicle using the massive model dataset for the selected configuration of the vehicle with the list of the group of common parts and the groups of unique parts stored in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: James J. Troy, Michael Patrick Sciarra, Nikoli E. Prazak, Steven E. Malarkey, Vladimir Karakusevic, Robert Allan Brandt, James E. Fadenrecht

Publication number: 20180300326Abstract: A method and system for managing three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets. The method comprises compiling a vehicle list of vehicles for which the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets are to be built. The method automatically builds the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets for vehicles in the vehicle list using a computer system. The method stores the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets in a group of repositories. The method distributes the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets for displaying massive model visualizations for the vehicles using the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets on client devices. The method may selectively update a three-dimensional massive model visualization data set in the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets when the three-dimensional massive model visualization data set is out-of-date.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: James J. Troy, William D. McGarry, Nikoli E. Prazak, Michael Patrick Sciarra, Vladimir Karakusevic, John Carney Gass, William E. Ward

Patent number: 9177097Abstract: A method and apparatus for verifying routing of a number of signal lines in an aircraft. A number of pathways through a volume is identified in the aircraft for a desired routing of the number of signal lines using a preferred systems layout for the aircraft. A determination is made as to whether a designed routing of the number of signal lines in a design of the aircraft is within the number of pathways through the volume for the desired routing of the number of signal lines. The number of signal lines is identified as having the desired routing in response to a determination that the designed routing is within the number of pathways through the volume.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Michael Patrick Sciarra, Alfredo Zamora Campos, Brent Louis Hadley, Patrick Eames, Joshua M. Taylor

Patent number: 9111245Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying information about a group of harnesses. Logical data of a database comprising a group of identifiers comprising a group of harness identifiers and a group of vehicle identifiers of a database is displayed. A selected identifier of the group of identifiers is received. Modeling data is displayed, wherein the modeling data comprises a harness set related to a model of a vehicle that is associated with a vehicle identifier and is related to the selected identifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Veekit O'Charoen, Brian J. Purves, Michael Patrick Sciarra, Patrick Eames

Patent number: 8683367Abstract: A method for differentiating between variations of an apparatus design is provided. The method includes digitally characterizing at least two aspects of a first expression wherein the at least two aspects include at least logical data and physical data relating to the first expression, and digitally characterizing the at least two next aspects of at least one next expression other than the first expression wherein the at least two next aspects include at least logical data and physical data relating to the at least one next design expression. The method further includes identifying selected differences between the at least two aspects and the at least two next aspects and displaying the first expression and at least one of the at least one next expression in a visual display wherein the selected differences are presented using at least one visually identifiable distinction.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Brent Louis Hadley, Patrick J.
