  • Methods and systems for fault determination for aircraft
    Patent number: 8521341
    Abstract: A method for fault determination for an aircraft includes the steps of generating a predicted maneuver of the aircraft using an aircraft operating input and a model of aircraft performance, determining an actual maneuver of the aircraft using information obtained from an inertial measurement system, comparing the predicted maneuver and the actual maneuver, and determining a fault of the aircraft based on the comparison of the predicted maneuver and the actual maneuver.

  • INTEGRATED CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM FOR WIND TURBINES
    Publication number: 20110020122
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving condition information from a plurality of condition detection sensors coupled to a wind turbine and receiving wind turbine controller information. An anomaly detection algorithm is applied to identify maintenance activities for the wind turbine as a function of both the wind turbine condition information and the wind turbine controller information.
