    Abstract: A fault detection system including one or more sensors onboard a vehicle to detect a characteristic of the vehicle and generate sensor signals corresponding to the characteristic, a processor onboard the vehicle to receive the sensor signals, generate one or more fast Fourier transform vectors based on the sensor signals so that the one or more fast Fourier transform vectors are representative of the characteristic, generate an analysis model from a time history of the fast Fourier transform vectors, and determine, using the analysis model, a degree to which the one or more fast Fourier transform vectors could have been generated by the analysis model, and an indicator to communicate an operational status of the vehicle to an operator or crew member of the vehicle based on the degree to which the one or more fast Fourier transform vectors could have been generated by the analysis model.

    Abstract: In an example, a method for identifying associated events in an aircraft is described. The method includes obtaining sensor data, obtaining fault code data, generating a set of events, where each event occurs over a time interval over which either (i) the sensor data indicates an anomalous measurement or (ii) a fault code associated with a particular aircraft subsystem of the aircraft was signaled, calculating a value of statistical dependence between the set, based on the value exceeding a threshold, constructing a network representing the set as a sequence of related events and further representing a temporal order in which the sequence occurred, indexing, in a summary table stored in memory and separate from the sensor data and the fault code data, the sequence and the value, and controlling a display device to display the summary table and a visual representation of the network.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for inferred information propagation for aircraft prognostics. The method includes receiving, by a processor, an original time-series of data points for a component as an input; preprocessing the input to divide the original time-series of data into subsets of data by applying a time-window over the original time-series of data points; and computing, by the processor, a Mutual Information (MI) value for each pair of variables within each subset of data. The method also includes constructing, by the processor, a sequence of relationship graphs using the computed MI values; clustering, by the processor, each relationship graph; and analyzing, by the processor, the time-ordered sequence of clustered relationship graphs to identify features in the component.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining sensor data captured by a sensor of an aircraft during a power up event. The sensor data includes multiple parameter values, each corresponding to a sample period. The method further includes determining a set of delta values, each indicating a difference between parameter values for consecutive sample periods of the sensor data. The method further includes determining a set of quantized delta values by assigning the delta values to quantization bins based on magnitudes of the delta values. The method further includes determining a normalized count of delta values for each quantization bin. The method further includes comparing the normalized counts of delta values to anomaly detection thresholds. The method further includes generating, based on the comparisons, output indicating whether the sensor data is indicative of an operational anomaly.
