Latest Patents
**Color Harmony with Process and Environmental Feedback.** This computerized system analyzes color consistency on automotive body and bumper parts and provides feedback on painting processes in an assembly plant. It collects measurement and colorimetric data at multiple stages, linking results to part identifiers and relevant equipment, paint-mix, and environmental variables. Software helps identify potential causes of color discrepancies and supports process adjustments before subsequent parts are painted, helping prevent mismatches.
**Trim and Flame Robot End Effector with Optional Automatic Blade Change Feature.** This end effector combines a trimming blade and a flame-treatment element, such as a torch or burner, in one tool mounted on a robotic arm. The blade can be held in an exchangeable cartridge to facilitate replacement. By positioning the appropriate element for each operation, the robot can trim and flame-treat components without requiring a tooling change. The invention is contemplated for applications such as processing vehicle bumper fascias.
Career Highlights
Bush’s patented work addresses two distinct manufacturing challenges: maintaining consistent automotive paint color and combining trimming and flame treatment in robotic tooling. Both inventions are designed to support efficient production and reliable processing of vehicle parts.
Collaborations
Bush’s listed coworkers include Gary Flavell and David Michael Wellman. Her company affiliation is Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
Conclusion
Diana Marie Bush’s patents reflect a focus on improving automotive production through better paint-process feedback and versatile robotic tooling.
