Patents by Inventor Mohinder Paul Chawla

Mohinder Paul Chawla 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).

  • Machine capability verification and diagnostics (CAP/DIA) system, method and computer program product
    Patent number: 6847908
    Abstract: A method for verifying the accuracy of a CNC machine or a CMM. The methodology segregates the measured error into an assignable cause portion and a common cause (or random error) portion. The methodology may be employed to affect the calibration of the machine tool to factor out the mean value of the assignable cause portion. Inherent in this methodology is the ability to diagnose mechanical problems with the CNC machine or CMM that affects the repeatability and accuracy of such machine tools; identify degradation in the performance of such machine tools that is indicative of mechanical failure; and improve the accuracy and repeatability of such machine tools in certain situations.
    Type: Grant
