Latest Patents

**Aeronautical Obstacle Knowledge Network.** This invention describes a computing system that analyzes images captured by aeronautical vehicles to identify potential landing zones. The system estimates each candidate zone’s geographic position and associates it with an identifier. When a client device requests a landing zone, the system selects a suitable candidate and provides its estimated position.

**Digital Twin Generation and Logging for a Vehicle.** This invention uses images of a vehicle’s interior and a machine-learning model to identify components. It maps those components to a model that records their locations and identifiers, such as part or serial numbers. The resulting digital twin can help identify components and initiate and track maintenance issues.

Career Highlights

Browne’s listed inventions apply computing, image analysis, and machine learning to practical challenges in aviation and vehicle maintenance. The aeronautical system supports access to candidate landing-zone information, while the digital-twin approach connects visual records of vehicle interiors with component data.

Collaborations

Browne is associated with The Boeing Company. His listed coworkers include Andre Lutz and Andreas Godehart.

Conclusion

Michael J. Browne’s two listed patents focus on using digital systems to support aeronautical landing-zone selection and vehicle maintenance tracking.
