Claim One:
1. A system for classifying a condition of an entity comprising a plurality of points separated by a conductive medium offering a plurality of conductive paths between the points, the system comprising: a signal source for applying one or more electrical signals at one or more points; a measuring component for measuring one or more electrical properties of the entity; an interface for receiving at least one informative value from a source external to the system; a controller adapted and configured to (a) control the signal source and the measuring component to make a plurality of impedance-interrogation measurements, (b) produce an output comprising the values obtained from the plurality of impedance-interrogation measurements; and (c) receive from the interface at least one informative value from a source external to the system; a signature processor adapted and configured to process the plurality of impedance-interrogation measurements and the at least one informative value from a source external to the system into a signature; and a pattern recognizer programmed to classify, from the signature, a condition of the entity by machine execution of a pattern recognition strategy.
