Claim 0:
1. A system for detecting an anomaly in an electronic component by analyzing an output of the electronic component or a device incorporating the electronic component during operation, said system comprising:
an input port adapted for receiving a data stream, said data stream comprising an ordered sequence of data values generated by said electronic component; and
a controller configured to:
identify a new extracted data segment (EDS) of said data stream using an extraction protocol;
transform said new EDS to a clustering signature vector (CSV), wherein said CSV comprises at least one component that is at least one function of said new EDS that differentiates said new EDS from other EDSs in said data stream;
compare said CSV to a plurality of reference signature vectors (RSVs) using a first similarity protocol to determine if said CSV is similar to any RSV of said plurality of RSVs, wherein each RSV represents a cluster of CSVs;
when said CSV is similar to an RSV of the plurality of RSVs, store information associating said CSV with the similar RSV in an RSV database;
when said CSV is not similar to any RSV of the plurality of RSVs, create a new RSV for said CSV;
predict that said electronic component will fail within a predetermined time period when the new RSV or the RSV with which the CSV is associated is a previously determined predictor RSV that occurs within the predetermined time period prior to failure of said electronic component; and
notify a user of the predicted failure.
