An example method for data parameter reasonability analysis includes receiving a source data file including a plurality of data frames having formats that are unknown, and a data frame includes a data word layout having data words concatenated together and the data words are representative of outputs from a plurality of sensors, comparing the sensor data to compatible parameter values for a type of sensor mapped to the location of the sensor data in the data word layout as for available data frame formats, generating a difference map illustrating one or more data words having sensor data incompatible with the type of sensor mapped to the location of the sensor data in the data word layout, assigning a data frame format to the plurality of data frames, determining reasonableness of the sensor data in the source data file, and providing a report as to reasonability of the sensor data.

Methods and systems for data parameter reasonability analysis

An aircraft safety and configuration monitoring system includes a plurality of RFID equipped items, a plurality of RFID interrogators communicating with the plurality of RFID equipped items, a processor communicating with the plurality of RFID interrogators and adapted to determine an issue with respect to any of the plurality of RFID equipped items and an indicating mechanism communicating with the processor and adapted to indicate the issue.

Aircraft safety and configuration monitoring system and method

A material management system includes integrated modules that cooperate to electronically manage a pooled inventory of material held at differing locations and used in the maintenance of multiple fleets of aircraft. The system includes a material request module for processing requests for material and for determining whether the requested material is present at one of the locations. A material transfer module responds to material requests by transferring parts between the differing locations. A material receiving and inspection module controls receiving and inspection of the material. A material shipment module manages the shipment of the material from a supplier in response to a material request.

Materials management system

A formable RFID tag includes a tag inlay including a composite polymer material having a pliant and flexible pre-cured state and a hardened cured state, non-rigid RFID circuitry embedded in the tag inlay and a non-rigid RFID antenna embedded in the tag inlay and interfacing with the RFID circuitry.

Formable RFID tag

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing data on an intermittently connected sensor. A data management system manages the data on radio frequency identification tags. The data management system comprises a radio frequency identification tag capable of storing the data, program code stored on the radio frequency identification tag, and a reader data processing system. The reader data processing system is capable of receiving the data and the program code from the radio frequency identification tag in a radio frequency signal and capable of executing the program code to read the data.
