A system and appertaining method isolates a hardware or user error in a software controlled apparatus e.g., an NMR-apparatus. A diagnostic function is added to an event log that uses a causality model to analyze the event log. A series of events in the event log is evaluated by comparing the events with at least one of a number of root cause related patterns, and a best match of these patterns is used to assign a root cause for the error. Various repair actions may be associated based on a probabilistic model. Additional information may be utilized to modify or improve respective probabilities associated with causes and / or repair actions. This additional information may utilize other automated diagnostic information or may query users for additional information.

The invention discloses a self-repair flange gasket for pipeline connection, and belongs to the technical field of sealing elements. The self-repair flange gasket for pipeline connection can make a rapid response and trigger a self-repair action when a crack appears at the initial failure stage of the flange gasket. On the one hand, rapid development is performed to remind a technician in time byutilizing the characteristics of sensing moisture. On the other hand, the crack is actively filled based on the characteristics of gas expansion by using a prearranged repair layer, then, melting guidance is performed on a hot-melt adhesive by using a spontaneous heating material, a continuous adhesion ring is formed to cooperate with the repair layer for repair, and certain strength is achieved to resist the erosion of water to avoid the failure or separation of the adhesion ring. Effective seepage prevention is achieved for the crack, the risk of large-scale leakage caused by further failureof the flange gasket is reduced, precious time is gained for the technician to perform maintenance, and thus high losses caused by pipeline leakage are reduced.

A system and method for monitoring computer performance and repairing and / or optimizing system configurations. During these idle times, the present process executes a sequence of background system analyses that can trigger associated optimization, maintenance, or repair actions based on a comparison of current computer states and baseline optimal health data. If other tasks are initiated by a user of the system, while the present invention is performing any of its actions, the monitoring and repair program terminates itself and releases full control back to the user and operating system.

In a drive circuit in which a plurality of drive motors are connected to a power source through a protective device which trips when the flow of current is excessive, provision is made to detect which circuit or circuits were active at the time of the failure. A microprocessor is provided to both control the activation of each of the various circuits and to also sense which circuits were active at the time of the failure. Appropriate signals are sent from the microprocessor to a user interface so that proper diagnostic and repair action can be taken.

A method for extracting data from service repair verbatims in a vehicle service reporting system. Each service repair verbatim includes a technician's comments concerning a part, a symptom associated with the part, and a repair action associated with the symptom. Each service repair verbatim includes information relating to an identified problem with at least one vehicle part. A diagnostic and prognostic ontology database is provided that is structured by vehicle part classification, a vehicle part sub-class classification, and a relationship classification, wherein the relationship classification includes symptom relationships and action relationships. Each of the service repair verbatims are reconstructed utilizing the diagnostic and prognostic ontology database. Combinations of information are extracted from the reconstructed service repair verbatims as a function of user input criteria. A frequency is determined of each combination extracted in the reconstructed service repair verbatims. The service repair verbatims are clustered for each combination.

A system that extends the operational effectiveness of an image reproduction machine without requiring downtime for service by personnel includes a detection subsystem that monitors components of an image reproduction system for detecting a banding defect in the image reproduction system and an automated compensation subsystem for modifying operation of the image reproduction system to compensate for the detected banding defect so that the image reproduction system continues to generate images at an acceptable quality level. The automated compensation subsystem adjusts components and / or data used by image reproduction system to compensate for the identified banding defect without requiring immediate operator or service personnel intervention. This compensation may successfully attenuate the banding defect so that the image reproduction system continues to produce acceptable images without downtime while awaiting service by personnel. The system may also include a diagnostic subsystem for determining causes for a detected banding defect to further enhance the operation of the compensation system or to facilitate a repair action by a person.

The invention discloses a GIS-based anti-theft monitoring and positioning system for power cables and a monitoring method. A small signal pulse train formed by a plurality of low-voltage pulse signals is sent in a short time, so that misinformation is prevented to a certain extent, and positioning accuracy is improved. The small pulse train is transmitted in a cable shielding layer, the loss of pulse in the transmission process of the small pulse train in the cable shielding layer is smaller than the loss of the pulse in the transmission process of the small pulse train in a core wire, and therefore electric energy is saved to a certain degree. Due to the fact that a GPRS message sending module is adopted, an upper computer and a terminal can be always connected, and it is ensured that a warning message can be send out timely and accurately. The upper computer is provided with a GIS in a carried mode and can accurately determine the geographic position of the site where the power cables are stolen, optimized rush repairing action routes for arriving at the site where the power cables are stolen can be given out, and workers can go to the site where the power cables are stolen for rush repairing immediately.

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing enhanced tiered Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) at domain intersections in a computer system. When recoverable errors trigger PFA calculations on an individual threshold unit, PFA calculations are performed on the individual threshold unit. A threshold domain of all intersection hardware with the individual threshold unit is established. PFA calculations are performed on all intersection hardware in the threshold domain. A repair action is triggered based upon comparing the PFA calculations for the individual threshold unit and comparing the PFA calculations for each intersection hardware.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an approach for monitoring the health and predicting the failure of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) devices with embedded error-correcting code (ECC). Additional registers are embedded on the DRAM device to store information about the DRAM, such as the number and location of soft errors detected by the device. When the DRAM device detects a soft error, it will update the information stored in the additional registers. A controller compares the information stored in the additional registers to associated thresholds. In some embodiments, after comparing the information to the associated thresholds, the controller may determine whether to schedule a repair action. In other embodiments, the controller may determine whether to alert the memory controller that the DRAM may be failing.
