Abstract: A computing system implementing a functional safety validation tool to simulate a circuit design having a digital portion and an analog portion, and inject a fault into the digital portion of a simulated circuit design, which propagates towards alarm logic configured to detect the injected fault. When the injected fault propagates to a boundary between the digital portion and the analog portion, the functional safety validation tool can perform a parallel simulation of the analog portion, which propagates the injected fault from the boundary through the analog portion to an output. The functional safety validation tool can determine whether the analog portion of the circuit design suppresses the injected fault based on a value at the output. The functional safety validation tool can generate a fault coverage presentation identifying a diagnostic coverage of the alarm logic based on whether the injected fault was suppressed.

Abstract: The software system discretises continuous attributes by initially sorting attribute value pairs. The system creates partitions based on unique attribute index. The computing system adds attribute value records to the partition element until minimum frequency has been reached. The system calculates whether new partition element is mutually insignificant compared with each of partition elements in a bucket. The system adds the mutually insignificant partition element into the bucket; otherwise, the system closes the bucket and creates a new bucket to add the mutually significant partition element to the new bucket. After all the buckets have been created, the system groups buckets of continuous attributes in to a bucket group so that the buckets in a group are mutually insignificant. If bucket is mutually significant, the system creates a new bucket group and adds subsequent mutually significant bucket to said new bucket group.

Abstract: The software system processes extracts reliable, significant and relevant patterns. System runs through preprocessing steps. System then generates the size 1 patterns. It then checks for both reliability and refinability of the size 1 patterns. System grows the refinable patterns by increasing the attributes and its values in the pattern by one at a time to find a size 2 pattern. The system then uses the number of pattern occurrences of size 2 pattern as a basis to find the reliable patterns. System also checks for statistical significance over the size 1 patterns and once again for the refinability of the size 2 patterns. System checks for relevance of the size 1 patterns by obtaining the disjointed record complement set. Software system readjusts the pattern statistics of size 1 and removes the non-relevant super-patterns. This process is repeated from size 2 to N.

An initial motion activity classifier function is applied to the motion activity data to produce an initial motion activity posteriorgram. Pre-processing and segmenting the motion activity data into windows produces segmented motion activity data from which sensor specific features are extracted. An updated motion activity classifier function is generated from the extracted sensor specific features. Subsequent motion activity data is also collected from the at least one sensor, and the updated motion activity classifier function is applied to the subsequent motion activity data to produce an updated motion activity posteriorgram.
