Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a structure can include a body, and one or more thermal sheet sensors disposed on or within the body. The one or more thermal sheet sensors can be configured to receive heat from the body to allow sensing of thermal flux through the body to monitor and/or determine a condition of the structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for assessment of a fluid system includes a scaffold housing with a plurality of internal cavities; a debris monitor module assembly to be selectively inserted into a first cavity of the plurality of internal cavities, the debris monitor module assembly to determine wear debris information in a lubricant; a lubricant condition monitor module assembly to be selectively inserted into a second cavity of the plurality of internal cavities, the lubricant condition monitor module assembly to determine lubricant condition information in the lubricant; and a processing module assembly that is configured to be selectively inserted into a third cavity of the plurality of internal cavities, the processing module assembly to provide communication to an external interface of at least one of the wear debris information and the lubricant condition information.

Abstract: A method for assessing the condition of a sensor includes applying a diagnostic signal to the sensor using a controller and receiving a dynamic output response. The dynamic output response includes a voltage transient and return to a baseline sensor output voltage. The dynamic output response is thereafter compared to a reference output response, and condition of the sensor is indicated as unreliable if the dynamic output response differs from the reference output response by a predetermined amount for a dynamic output response output parameter.

Abstract: An apparatus for assessment of a fluid system includes a debris monitor to receive a first flow of a fluid, the debris monitor to determine wear debris information in the first flow of the fluid; and a fluid condition monitor to receive a second flow of the fluid, the fluid condition monitor being configured to determine fluid condition information in the second flow of the fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for prognostic health management (PHM) of electronic systems. Such systems and methods present challenges traditionally viewed as either insurmountable or otherwise not worth the cost of pursuit. The systems and methods are directed to the health monitoring and failure prediction of electronic systems, including the diagnostic methods employed to assess current health state and prognostic methods for the prediction of electronic system failures and remaining useful life. The disclosed methodologies include three techniques: (1) use of existing electronic systems data (circuit as a sensor); (2) use of available external measurements as condition indicators and degradation assessor; and (3) performance assessment metrics derived from available external measurements.

Abstract: Provided are methods for manufacturing a base metal undercoat containing catalyst and an exhaust article containing the catalyst. The catalyst contains a base metal undercoat with an oxygen storage component, substantially free of platinum group metal components, and at least one catalytic layer.
