  • Patent number: 6799174
    Abstract: A networked catalog search, retrieval, and information correlation and matching system is disclosed. The system allows suppliers to publish information in electronic catalogs, structure the information in an object oriented representation distributed across a network of computers, for example, the Internet. The system also enables customers to search and retrieve information on products and suppliers that match dynamically specified customer requirements. Through retrieving protocol compliant pages or other information, a search engine forwards retrieved pages to a database which sorts received information by the information's internal organization structure. By searching the information as stored in the knowledge base, a user may quickly retrieve the stored information as highly tailored to the user's search strategy.

By searching the information as stored in the knowledge base, a user may quickly retrieve the stored information as highly tailored to the user's search strategy. Also, additional tools operate on the stored information so as to, inter alia, organize design trades between selected elements where additional design and selection options are provided to each user.

  • Patent number: 5065630
    Abstract: An automated system is disclosed for rapidly inspecting a complete aircraft and detecting cracks in the airframe. For inspecting the aircraft fuselage, the system incorporates a framework disposed over the fuselage and extending along a major portion of the length of the fuselage. Beams having suction devices and acoustic sensors are movably attached to the framework and are moved into a position adjacent to the outer surface of the fuselage when the aircraft has been located within the framework. The suction devices attach the beams to the fuselage surface along fuselage panel joints or other areas to be inspected. Several acoustic sensors, located on each beam, are connected to a device for analyzing and recording or visually displaying the signals generated by the sensors upon the detection of noise generated by the formation or propagation of cracks.
