  • Patent number: 8892478
    Abstract: An adaptive model training system and method for filtering asset operating data values acquired from a monitored asset for selectively choosing asset operating data values that meet at least one predefined criterion of good data quality while rejecting asset operating data values that fail to meet at least the one predefined criterion of good data quality; and recalibrating a previously trained or calibrated model having a learned scope of normal operation of the asset by utilizing the asset operating data values that meet at least the one predefined criterion of good data quality for adjusting the learned scope of normal operation of the asset for defining a recalibrated model having the adjusted learned scope of normal operation of the asset.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8712929
    Abstract: A computer-implemented dynamic data filtering system and method for selectively choosing operating data of a monitored asset that modifies or expands a learned scope of an empirical model of normal operation of the monitored asset while simultaneously rejecting operating data of the monitored asset that is indicative of excessive degradation or impending failure of the monitored asset, and utilizing the selectively chosen data for adaptively recalibrating the empirical model to more accurately monitor asset aging changes or operating condition changes of the monitored asset.

  • Patent number: 8145444
    Abstract: A computer-implemented asset surveillance system and method for self calibrating at least one fault detector providing asset surveillance by calibrating at least the one fault detector with statistics associated with expected asset behavior, acquiring observed data values from an asset, screening the observed data values based upon at least one defined criterion for obtaining screened data values, updating the statistics associated with expected asset behavior as a function of the screened data values for defining updated statistics, and recalibrating the at least one fault detector with the updated statistics.
