Patent number: 10635734Abstract: A database access computing device for utilizing a three dimensional model to access databases for information regarding one or more parts in a vehicle is provided. The database access computing device includes at least one processor. The database access computing device is configured to display a three dimensional model representing at least one version of a vehicle, receive a selection of a location within the three dimensional model, identify at least one part number associated with the location in a first database, retrieve part information from at least a second database using the part number, and display the part information retrieved from at least the second database on the three dimensional model.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Joseph Frank Floyd, Brent Louis Hadley, Patrick Jan Eames, Darren Brian Macer

Publication number: 20190303782Abstract: A system for evaluating a measure of appropriateness of additive manufacturing (AM) to manufacture a vehicle part of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a plurality of data source importers to import a plurality of datasets from a plurality of data sources to a data collection system with a composite dataset including data of the plurality of datasets. The system also includes a dataset manager system (DMS) to manage the data collection system. The system further includes a client application coupled to the DMS. The client application receives a user request for the measure of appropriateness of AM to manufacture the vehicle part of the vehicle during a lifecycle of the vehicle. In response to the user request, the client application produces the measure of appropriateness using an evaluation of a plurality of assessments on the data retrieved from the composite dataset.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Gail L.

A plurality of reference points is identified for the aircraft located in a three-dimensional model of the aircraft, wherein the plurality of reference points have known locations described using a three-dimensional coordinate system to form a plurality of identified reference points. The plurality of identified reference points is displayed on a set of images of the aircraft. A measurement of distance to each of the plurality of identified reference points is obtained to form a plurality of measurements in response to displaying the plurality of identified reference points on the set of images. The location information of the unknown point is identified using the plurality of measurements.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Brent Louis Hadley, Patrick Jan Eames
