Abstract: A method for monitoring machine conditions provides additional information using a one-class classifier in which an evaluation function is learned. In the method, a distance is determined from an anomaly measurement x to a boundary of a region R1 containing all acceptable measurements. The distance is used as a measure of the extent of the anomaly. The distance is found by searching along a line from the anomaly to a closest acceptable measurement within the region R1.

Abstract: In a failure diagnosis apparatus for a refrigerating cycle, a plurality of instrumentation amounts concerning the refrigerant such as the pressure and temperature of the refrigerating cycle apparatus or other instrumentation amounts are detected, the state quantities such as composite variables are acquired by making the arithmetic operation on these instrumentation amounts, and whether the apparatus is normal or abnormal is judged employing the arithmetic operation results. If learning is made during the normal operation, a current state is judged, and if learning is made by compulsorily performing the abnormal operation, or if the abnormal operating condition is operated during the current operation, a failure foretaste such as a critical operation can be made from a change in the Mahalanobis distance. Thereby, the secure diagnosis can be implemented with a simple constitution.

Abstract: A trace test and debug system for a target processor generates a program counter trace stream, a timing trace stream and a data trace stream. The target processor has three states, a program code execution state, an interrupt service routine code execution state, and a state where code execution is halted. The trace streams can be controlled so that the timing trace stream can be generated or excluded during the code execution halts. Similarly, when the timing trace stream is enabled for the interrupt service routine(s), the program counter and data trace streams can be selectively generated or excluded. The contents of the pipeline flattener can be held or flushed code execution halt depending on whether the pipeline is unprotected or protected. When the contents of the pipeline flattener are held during a code halt, the program counter trace stream and data trace stream is halted even if the timing trace stream remains active.
