Claim 31:
32. The method of claim 27, wherein the hot melt liquid dispensing system further comprises a hot melt liquid heater associated with the applicator, the method further comprising:
providing a plurality of heater parameter values of a second operating parameter of the hot melt liquid heater, each heater parameter value of the plurality of heater parameter values being associated with an applicator parameter value of the plurality of applicator parameter values;
determining a first subset of heater parameter values of the plurality of heater parameter values, each heater parameter value of the first subset of heater parameter values being associated with an applicator parameter value of the first subset of applicator parameter values; and
determining a second subset of heater parameter values of the plurality of heater parameter values, each heater parameter value of the second subset of heater parameter values being associated with an applicator parameter value of the second subset of applicator parameter values,
wherein the predicted time of failure of the applicator is further based on the second subset of heater parameter values.
