Patent number: 10096178Abstract: An off-board apparatus is provided for reducing nuisance fault indications from a vehicle. The apparatus is communicably coupled to a vehicle health monitoring (VHM) system, or one or more vehicle systems for at least collecting and communicating data thereto such as data that indicates fault generated by a line replaceable unit of the vehicle in response to a built-in test. The apparatus is also coupleable with a computerized maintenance management system configured to store data that describes a historical condition and maintenance of the vehicle. The apparatus is programmed to determine a probability of validity or invalidity of the fault indication, determine a condition indicator for the signal path based on the LRUs current and historical operational environment, and generate a notification, or output the fault indication for generation of a notification, only in an instance in which the fault indication, with a high probability is valid.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Robab Safa-Bakhsh

Patent number: 9691286Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for providing a predicted vehicle track and for providing alerts when two predicted vehicle tracks are closer than a threshold amount. A vehicle intent prediction model is generated based on past instance of tracks for a vehicle operation, known vehicle intent data for the past instances, and contextual factors, such as weather, airline operator, air vehicle type or configuration, day of the week, etc. for the past instances. The vehicle intent prediction model can be generated using one or more machine learning algorithms. A future vehicle trajectory for a current vehicle operation can be output by the vehicle intent prediction model using the current track and existing contextual factors for the current vehicle operation. In the event that two vehicles following their respective predicted vehicle future trajectories would be closer than a threshold distance, an alert can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Ali Bahrami, Robab Safa-Bakhsh, Jun Yuan, Paul C.

Patent number: 8914149Abstract: A platform health monitoring system including an associative memory. The associative memory stores a plurality of known health profiles for a platform. The platform health monitoring system also includes an input device in communication with the associative memory. The input device is configured to receive a current health profile of the platform. The platform health monitoring system also may include a comparator configured to compare, in conjunction with the associative memory, the current health profile with the plurality of known health profile to generate a comparison. The comparator is further configured to generate, based on the comparison and in conjunction with the associative memory, a report on a current health of the platform.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Robab Safa-Bakhsh, Patrick Neal Harris

Patent number: 8843347Abstract: A monitoring system, method and computer program product are provided for monitoring the health of a monitored system. The monitoring system may include a receiver module to receive a plurality of sensor data relating to the monitored system and to receive textual data, such as free text, relating to the monitored system. The monitoring system may also include an associative memory to store and process the sensor data and the textual data and to establish associations between at least some of the sensor data and the textual data. Further, the monitoring system may include a dynamic change identification module to identify an instance in which the sensor data represents a dynamic change in condition and a correlation module to identify an instance in which textual data is associated with the sensor data proximate the dynamic change in condition so as to correlate the sensor data and the textual data.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Robab Safa-Bakhsh, Patrick Neal Harris
