Patent ID: 8639458

Claim:
A computer implemented method of selecting options for use with current sensor data comprising: receiving, using a processor, the current sensor data characterizing vibration caused by rotating blades; evaluating, using a processor, one or more sets of other data to determine a first of the one or more sets of other sensor data that is a best match for said current sensor data, each of said one or more sets of other sensor data being associated with one of a plurality of option sets, each of said plurality of option sets including one or more options selected as active in connection with determining one or more adjustments to the blades to reduce vibration, wherein said one option set associated with said each set of other sensor data indicates options previously determined as appropriate for use in connection with determining adjustments to the blades when said each set of other sensor data characterizes a current state of vibration caused by rotating the blades, each of said one or more sets of other sensor data being associate with a weight denoting a preference of said each set of other sensor data set, wherein a first of said sets of other sensor data has a first weight and a second of said sets of other sensor data has a second weight, and wherein if said first set of other sensor data has a larger variance than said second set, said first weight is less than said second weight; determining, in accordance with said evaluating, that a first of the plurality of option sets associated with said first set of other sensor data identifies a best set of one or more options including one or more adjustment types for use in determining one or more adjustments to the blades given the current sensor data; and determining said one or more adjustments to the blades, wherein said determining is performed using a processor and the first option set associated with said first set of other sensor data, wherein said first option set identifies one or more options which are active and said determining determines an adjustment from different candidate adjustments for each option that is identified as active in said first option set and denotes an adjustment type.
