This invention describes a system that monitors rotary equipment by analyzing data from its sensors. It looks for specific 'alarm signatures' in the time-stamped sensor data and compares them to known 'diagnostic signatures'. If a match is found, the system determines the problem and can then trigger an action, such as shutting down the equipment, sounding an alarm, or scheduling maintenance.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced AI for time-series data. Modern machine learning can now automatically learn complex diagnostic signatures, making the system more adaptable than the rule-based methods implied in 2018.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
