  • Patent number: 10353691
    Abstract: Systems and methods to update the calibration data of a control system includes a calibration system. The calibration system includes a first cloud connected application system structured to communicatively couple to a second cloud connected application system, determine, via at least one of the first cloud connected application system or the second cloud connected application system, a calibration update request corresponding to a control system, generate custom calibration data including preference data based on at least one of the calibration update request or the preference data, and provide the custom calibration data during at least one of an active engine state or an inactive engine state, wherein the custom calibration data is transmitted from the second memory portion to the first memory portion in response to the inactive engine state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7747572
    Abstract: A method and system for supply chain product and process development collaboration. The supply chain is comprised of at least one project, each project having a part (or family of parts), a supplier of the part, and a customer. The system may include a data storage and retrieval device operably connected to a processor. The system's functions include collaboration tools and security based on the users' project roles. The method uses a methodology that ensures certain requirements are met prior to satisfying the methodology. The system and method of the present invention ensures that current, applicable methodologies are applied to a specific part and allows for collaboration between the customer and supplier during all phases of the project. Because all projects in a supply chain are present, a user can navigate throughout the supply chain. The supply chain's reporting functions permit determination of potential performance risks and the source thereof.

  • Publication number: 20020052862
    Abstract: A method and system for supply chain product and process development collaboration. The supply chain is comprised of at least one product, where each project is defined as a part (or family of parts), a supplier to supply the part, and a customer to be supplied the part. In one embodiment, the system includes a data storage and retrieval devise to hold project data, which, for each project, includes a project identifier, a part identified, a supplier identifier, a customer identifier, data representative of a methodology applicable to the project, and data representative of at least one control associated with processing of the project. The system and method of the present invention ensures that current methodologies applicable to a project are applied, and allows for collaboration between the customer and supplier during all phases of product and process design, development, and manufacture.
