Solution Overview

Problem

Qualification of test data for multiplexed systems is resource-intensive, requiring significant planning, effort, and time, with uncertainties about input geometry and numerous permutations necessitating repetitive testing for format changes, leading to inefficiencies in validating telemetry systems.

Innovation Solution

A predictive tool, the Telemetry Interactive Permutation Matrix (TIPM), utilizes an Asynchronous Telemetry Bandwidth Simulator (ATBS) to classify permutations based on data rate and overhead, narrowing down suitable designs by correlating data exchange messages with avionics data containers, employing machine learning and AI systems to optimize and predict telemetry geometry.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If repetitive testing is performed for each format change to validate telemetry systems, then validation reliability is improved, but time consumption and resource effort increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalidation reliabilityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a permutation matrix that pre-calculates and organizes all possible format combinations before actual testing. This allows the system to systematically explore all permutations in advance, eliminating the need for repetitive manual testing of each format change while maintaining comprehensive validation coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a virtual simulation environment that creates virtual copies of the telemetry system and its various format configurations. Instead of physically testing each format change in the actual system, the simulation replicates the testing process virtually, providing reliable validation results without the time and resource costs of repeated physical testing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive testing of all permutations is conducted to ensure validation accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalidation accuracyVSAvoidtesting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex space of all possible format permutations into organized segments using the permutation matrix structure. Each row represents a complete permutation set, and the matrix systematically organizes these segments, making it easier to navigate and test all combinations without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a simulation environment as an intermediary layer between the actual telemetry system and the validation process. This intermediary virtualizes the testing complexity, allowing comprehensive permutation testing to be performed in a controlled simulation space rather than directly in the complex physical system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If manual procedures and documentation are created for each test configuration, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity decreases due to the time required for setup and documentation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocedure clarityVSAvoidtesting productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service validation system where the permutation matrix automatically generates test configurations and the simulation environment automatically executes and documents results. The system manages its own setup, execution, and documentation without requiring manual intervention for each test case, thereby maintaining operational clarity while dramatically improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
