GPC Heads East – a Japanese Patent for a novel Geometric Process
Control application
Curvaceous Software is pleased to announce the grant of
another patent in September 2008, this time by the Japan Patent Office for the
control of multi-variables processes using a single Operating Envelope. The patent application was first started in
the
The patent is about taking action in order to get the
process back into the Best Operating Zone (BOZ) also known as Operating
Envelope. The whole concept is based upon the innovative and highly acclaimed
Geometric Process Control (GPC) technology, which is well-established and has
already achieved success in problem-solving and process improvement
applications with over 125 blue-chip companies.
GPC identifies and models the Best Operating Zone (BOZ) of
a process from existing data. The BOZ is defined by the multi-variable
operating points that in the past produced the best performance. A
multi-dimensional surface wraps around the set of points creating a
multi-dimensional solid object, thus capturing, in geometry, all of the
interactions between the ranges of all the variables. By operating the process
wholly within this object the best performance results of the past can be
repeated.
Dr. John Wilson, the Research and Development
Manager of Curvaceous, said “The fact that a Japanese patent was granted to our
novel technology allows us to both legally protect our innovation and also
opens new business opportunities in the Japanese Market. We can now license our
technology to a company that is operating in
