  • Patent number: 6453273
    Abstract: A signal analysis system and method for analyzing an input signal acquired from a mechanical system. The mechanical system may include at least one rotating apparatus. The signal analysis system may include an input for receiving samples of an input signal acquired from the mechanical system, wherein the input signal is sampled in time, and wherein the input signal comprises a plurality of order components. The signal analysis system may also include a processor coupled to the input and a memory medium coupled to the processor which stores analysis software.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6366862
    Abstract: A signal analysis system and method for analyzing an input signal acquired from a mechanical system. The mechanical system may include at least one rotating apparatus. The signal analysis system may be configured to: (a) receive samples of the input signal, (b) perform an invertible joint time-frequency transform (e.g. a Gabor transform) on the samples of the input signal to produce a first array of coefficients which depend on time and frequency, (c) compute an instantaneous rotation frequency signal, (d) select first coefficients from the first array which correspond to one or more order components in the input signal, i.e. one or more multiples of the instantaneous rotation frequency signal, (e) generate a time domain signal from the first coefficients, and (f) present the time domain signal to a user on a presentation device. The signal analysis system may generate the time domain signal from the first coefficients by performing an inverse joint time-frequency transform on the first coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20020016800
    Abstract: A method and system of generating metadata for a document so that the document may be identified by a subsequent search. A conceptual model is generated for the document, wherein the conceptual model indicates one or more concepts that are recognized in the document. A concept is defined by a plurality of features, each feature being associated with a feature weight. By referencing the conceptual model, one or more auto-attributes may be assigned to the document. Also, by referencing the conceptual model, the document may be categorized to one or more categories of a categorization taxonomy by assigning one or more auto-categories. The generated metadata, including the conceptual model, the one or more auto-attributes, and the one or more auto-categories, may be stored in a memory so that the subsequent search may identify the document by examining the generated metadata.
