Title: Jacqueline Williams: Inventor in Process Optimization

Introduction

Jacqueline Williams is an inventor based in Calgary, Canada, whose work focuses on optimizing complex systems and production processes. She is associated with International Business Machines Corporation and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Williams’s listed patents address iterative system optimization and online production-process planning.

“System optimization based on iterative specification of operational constraints” describes a method for determining system parameters through an optimization engine. Users select questions linked to operational goals and indicate a desired direction for each goal. The engine adjusts mathematical-model parameters to improve the selected goal, then presents updated values and their differences from earlier results. The patent distinguishes operational goals from configurable system parameters.

“Online operating mode trajectory optimization for production processes” describes an approach that uses live operational data from multiple subprocesses. It selects pre-trained regression models, combines them with operational constraints in a system-wide, multi-period optimization model, and generates a trajectory of intermediate operating modes. A graphical interface displays a recommended set-point trajectory for the planning interval.

Career Highlights

Williams’s patent work reflects an emphasis on applying mathematical models and optimization methods to operational decision-making. Her inventions cover both interactive specification of system goals and trajectory planning for production processes.
