One of default reference hypothesis model sets with the highest similarity of the system is selected for modeling, thereby a model selection and disposition are quickly complete.

Abstract: The present invention provides a modeling method for a smart prognostics and health management system. The method comprises a new tree establishing step, a dual-branch modeling step, and a model adaptive optimization step. As monitoring data increases, a golden model can be selected as a benchmark for optimization decision from prediction hypothesis models constructed by the dual-branch modeling step. This benchmark is used for next prediction. A prediction result of the system is caused to meet an expected target value. The present invention provides a computer program product for the smart prognostics and health management system at the same time. The above-described modeling method for the smart prognostics and health management system is completed when the computer program product is executed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for selecting a leading associated parameter. Selection is performed on data collected by a sensor, and the data is divided into a critical parameter set and another feature parameter set. From the feature parameter set, one parameter that affects beforehand in time the critical parameter is identified as a leading associated parameter. The present invention further uses the critical parameter set and the leading associated parameter to construct an equipment prognostic and health management model that effectively enhances an early warning capability.

Abstract: A process is provided for controlling a robotal device, such as a multiaxial industrial robot, by a control unit, with a control core for executing control processes for the robotal device. An interface function checks whether models and/or procedures optionally contained in the control core or additional models and/or transformation procedures and/or special algorithms of kinematic structures, which can be preset at the interface are used as model modules for motion-relevant variables of the robotal device. Special and third-party kinematics can thus also be operated with a control device suitable for executing the process without the control itself having to be modified.

Abstract: The finding of the present invention is that the melody extraction or automatic transcription may be implemented clearly more stable and if applicable even less expensive when the assumption is considered sufficiently that the main melody is the portion of a piece of music which man perceives the loudest and the most precise. Regarding this, according to the present invention the time/spectral representation or the spectrogram of an interesting audio signal is scaled using the curves of equal volume reflecting human volume perception in order to determine the melody of the audio signal on the basis of the resulting perception-related time/spectral representation.

Abstract: In order to implement the melody extraction or the automatic clearly more stable or to improve the transcription result, respectively, at the resulting segments or trajectories, respectively, of a melody line gained from a spectrogram of the audio signal a harmony mapping is performed such that a follower segment directly neighboring a reference segment in time direction is virtually shifted in the frequency direction by stages of octave, fifth and/or third in order to examine whether among the resulting lines of the octave, fifth and/or third there is one that fulfills a predetermined condition, like e.g. that the time/spectral representation along this line comprises a minimum which is larger by a certain factor than a minimum that it comprises along the reference segment line, and, if such a line exists, selects the same and actually performs the shifting of the follower segment. This way, errors in melody line determination may be corrected again.

Abstract: A tone smoothing is performed such that to each time section of a melody line segment a number is associated such that for all groups of directly neighboring time sections, to which the same spectral component is associated by the melody line segment, the numbers associated with the directly neighboring time sections are different numbers from one to the number of the directly neighboring time sections, for each spectral component that is associated with one of the time sections of the melody line segment, the numbers of those groups are added up to which time sections of the same the respective spectral component is associated by the melody line segment, a smoothing spectral component is determined as the spectral component for which the greatest summing-up results, and the melody line segment is changed, by associating the determined smoothing spectral component to each time section of the melody line segment.
