Claim One:
1. A diagnostics system, comprising: a detection system configured to capture a first set of acoustic information related to an event associated with a machine component, wherein the detection system associates the first set of acoustic information with contextual information related to the machine component; a computing system communicatively coupled to the detection system via communications circuitry, wherein the computing system comprises a processor configured to: receive the first set of acoustic information and the contextual information from the detection system; select one or more algorithms based at least in part on the contextual information; retrieve and execute the one or more algorithms to extract one or more characteristic features of the first set of acoustic information; generate a first acoustic fingerprint based at least in part on the one or more characteristic features of the first set of acoustic information, wherein the one or more characteristic features of the first set of acoustic information corresponds to the event associated with the machine component; receive a second set of acoustic information from the detection system and extract one or more characteristic features of the second set of acoustic information to generate a second acoustic fingerprint; and compare the first acoustic fingerprint with the second acoustic fingerprint to determine whether a match exists, wherein the match between the first and second acoustic fingerprints indicates a likelihood that the event associated with the machine component has reoccurred.
