Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de gestion d'événements conçu pour programmer et traduire à partir d'agents intelligents et de détecteurs des déductions sémantiques en événements pouvant être rendus observables par un système destinataire, par exemple un moniteur qui fournit une vue particulière d'objets et d'événements virtuels. Le système de gestion d'événements encapsule également sa notion temps. De fait, un observateur humain peut déplacer le système le long de l'axe temporel (jusqu'au présent) afin de réexécuter des événements, ou d'effectuer des analyses à la suite de notions d'accéléré et de ralenti de l'heure système. Le système de gestion d'événements reçoit des événements en provenance de clients/sources par le biais de connexions des portails d'entrée de système de gestion d'événements et utilise la mémoire partagée comme forme de communication interprocessus avec les moniteurs. Le système de gestion d'événements met des événements à disposition d'un sous-système d'observation destinataire pour lire et fournir sa vue particulière. Il peut y avoir plusieurs clients et systèmes destinataires simultanément connectés au système de gestion d'événements.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques used in connection with determining a health indicator (HI) of a component, such as that of an aircraft component. The HI  is determined using condition indicators (CIs) which parameterize characteristics about a component minimizing possibility of a false alarm.  Different algorithms are disclosed which may be used in determining one or more CIs. The HI may be determined using a normalized CI value. Techniques are also described in connection with selecting particular CIs that provide for maximizing separation between HI classifications. Given a particular HI at a point in time for a component, techniques are described for predicting a future state or health of the component using the Kalman filter. Techniques are described for estimating data values as an alternative to performing data acquisitions, as may be used when there is no pre-existing data.
