  • Cross correlation diagnostics tool for vibration analysis
    Patent number: 7225108
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and analyzing anomalies in a machine during operation. The system and method includes at least one sensor associated with a component on the machine, a transducer configured to be positioned about the component, and a test station for receiving signals from the at least one sensor and the transducer, and correlating the signals to determine a source of an anomaly.
    Type: Grant

  • Vibration analysis system and method for a machine
    Patent number: 7194383
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and analyzing anomalies in a machine during operation. The system and method includes at least one sensor configured to detect characteristics of the machine indicative of machine vibration, at least one other sensor configured to detect characteristics of the machine indicative of other than machine vibration, a plurality of neural networks to receive input data, at least one neural network receiving vibration data from the at least one sensor, and at least one other neural network receiving non-vibration data from the at least one other sensor, and an expert system to receive output data from the neural networks and responsively analyze machine operation for anomalies.
