Patent number: 8561189Abstract: A method for providing security to a network having a data stream with a plurality of portions of data, each having differing levels of sensitivity. The data stream is interrogated to determine the presence of predetermined characteristics associated with at least one of the portions of data within the data stream. At least one of the portions of data is then characterized, based upon the portion of data exhibiting a predetermined combination of characteristics, wherein the predetermined combination of characteristics is related to the sensitivity of the portion of data. The portions of the data stream are then distributed into a plurality of different channels, each of the channels associated with different level of sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Craig A. Goranson, John R. Burnette, Frank L. Greitzer, Bryan H. McMillan

Patent number: 7457785Abstract: A method and computer-based apparatus for monitoring the degradation of, predicting the remaining service life of, and/or planning maintenance for, an operating system are disclosed. Diagnostic information on degradation of the operating system is obtained through measurement of one or more performance characteristics by one or more sensors onboard and/or proximate the operating system. Though not required, it is preferred that the sensor data are validated to improve the accuracy and reliability of the service life predictions. The condition or degree of degradation of the operating system is presented to a user by way of one or more calculated, numeric degradation figures of merit that are trended against one or more independent variables using one or more mathematical techniques. Furthermore, more than one trendline and uncertainty interval may be generated for a given degradation figure of merit/independent variable data set.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2000Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Frank L. Greitzer, Lars J. Kangas, Kristine M. Terrones, Melody A. Maynard, Ronald A. Pawlowski, Thomas A. Ferryman, James R. Skorpik, Bary W. Wilson

Patent number: 6941202Abstract: A system and method for monitoring operating parameters of a machine (such as a vehicle) and producing diagnostic and/or prognostic results are disclosed. Active, semi-active, or semi-passive sensors are wirelessly linked with an interrogator that selectively interrogates the sensors, such as through transponders in wired communication with the sensors. A data concentrator or processor analyzes data from certain sensors and generates diagnostic/prognostic conclusions, in some cases using additional data selectively requested from and acquired by the sensors. In some embodiments, raw or abstracted data is communicated with a management center that provides troubleshooting information (again, possibly using additional, selectively acquired data), makes resource management decisions (such as preparing parts or labor resources to make a repair), and tracks problems in all or a subset of the machines being managed.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Bary W. Wilson, Earl Heister, Frank L. Greitzer
