    Abstract: The system receives original time-series signals from sensors in a monitored system. Next, the system detects and removes spikes from the original time-series signals to produce despiked original time-series signals, which involves using the original time-series data to optimize a damping factor, which is applied to a threshold for a spike-detection technique, and using the spike-detection technique with the optimized damping factor to detect the spikes. The system then generates despiked synthetic time-series signals, which are statistically indistinguishable from the despiked original time-series signals. The system also includes synthetic spikes, which have the same temporal, amplitude and width distributions as the spikes in the original time-series signals, in the despiked synthetic time-series signals to produce synthetic time-series signals with spikes. The system uses the synthetic time-series signals with spikes to train an inferential model, and uses the inferential model to perform prognostic-surveillance operations on subsequently-received signals from the monitored system.

    Abstract: During operation, the system obtains time-series sensor signals gathered from sensors in an asset during operation of the asset in an outdoor environment, wherein the time-series sensor signals include temperature signals. Next, the system produces thermally-compensated time-series sensor signals by performing a thermal-compensation operation on the temperature signals to compensate for variations in the temperature signals caused by dynamic variations in an ambient temperature of the outdoor environment. The system then trains a prognostic inferential model for a prognostic pattern-recognition system based on the thermally-compensated time-series sensor signals. During a surveillance mode for the prognostic pattern-recognition system, the system receives recently-generated time-series sensor signals from the asset, and performs a thermal-compensation operation on temperature signals in the recently-generated time-series sensor signals. Finally, the system applies the prognostic inferential model to the thermally-compensated, recently-generated time-series sensor signals to detect incipient anomalies that arise during operation of the asset.

    Abstract: During operation, the system obtains the time-series sensor signals, which were gathered from sensors in a monitored system. Next, the system classifies the time-series sensor signals into stair-stepped signals and un-stair-stepped signals. The system then replaces stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals with interpolated values determined from un-stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals. Next, the system divides the time-series sensor data into a training set and an estimation set. The system then trains an inferential model on the training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the estimation set with inferential estimates. Next, the system switches roles of the training and estimation sets to produce a new training set and a new estimation set. The system then trains the inferential model on the new training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the new estimation set with inferential estimates.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with acoustic fingerprint identification of devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a target acoustic fingerprint from acoustic output of a target device. A similarity metric is generated that quantifies similarity of the target acoustic fingerprint to a reference acoustic fingerprint of a reference device. The similarity metric is compared to a threshold. In response to a first comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, the target device is indicated to match the reference device. In response to a second comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, it is indicated that the target device does not match the reference device.

    Abstract: A double-blind comparison is performed between prognostic-surveillance systems, which are located on a local system and a remote system. During operation, the local system inserts random faults into a dataset to produce a locally seeded dataset, wherein the random faults are inserted into random signals at random times with variable fault signatures. Next, the local system exchanges the locally seeded dataset with a remote system, and in return receives a remotely seeded dataset, which was produced by the remote system by inserting different random faults into the same dataset. Next, the local system uses a local prognostic-surveillance system to analyze the remotely seeded dataset to produce locally detected faults. Finally, the local system determines a performance of the local prognostic-surveillance system by comparing the locally detected faults against actual faults in the remotely seeded fault information. The remote system similarly determines a performance of a remote prognostic-surveillance system.

    Abstract: Embodiments for passive spychip detection through polarizability and advanced pattern recognition are described. For example a method includes inducing a magnetic field in a passive component of a target system while the target system is emitting EMI with changes in amplitude repeating at a time interval; generating a time series of measurements of a combined magnetic field strength of the induced magnetic field and the EMI; executing a frequency-domain to time-domain transformation on the time series of measurements to create time series signals of combined magnetic field strength over time at a specific frequency range; monitoring the time series signals with an ML model trained to predict correct signal values to determine whether predicted and measured values of the time series agree; and indicating that the target device may contain a passive spychip where anomalies are detected, and is free of passive spychips where no anomalies are detected.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with autonomous discrimination of operation vibration signals are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes partitioning a frequency spectrum of output into a plurality of discrete bins, wherein the output is collected from vibration sensors monitoring a reference device; generating a representative time series signal for each bin while the device is operated in a deterministic stress load; generating a PSD for each bin by converting each signal from the time domain to the frequency domain; determining a maximum power spectral density value and a peak frequency value for each bin; selecting a subset of the bins that have maximum PSD values exceeding a threshold; assigning the representative time series signals from the selected subset of bins as operation vibration signals indicative of operational load on the reference device; and configuring a machine learning model based on at least the operation vibration signals.
