A system and method for facilitating welding system diagnostics is provided. The invention includes a welder, a local system, a remote system, and / or an alarm component. The invention further provides for receiving sensor input(s), performing test sequence(s) based, at least in part, upon the sensor input(s) and / or performing internal diagnostics. The invention further provides for determining a health status of the welder and communicating the health status of the welder to the local system, the remote system and / or the alarm component. The health status of the welder can include welder alarm(s) and / or fault(s). Information regarding the health status of the welder can be sent by telephone, voicemail, e-mail and / or beeper. The welder can communicate with the local system and / or remote system to schedule maintenance. The invention further provides for a expert component to facilitate welding diagnostics based, at least in part, upon the health status of the welder, welder data, an expert data store, a local service support data store, a remote expert data store and / or a remote service support data store. The expert component can employ various artificial intelligence technique(s) (e.g., Bayesian model, probability tree network, fuzzy logic and / or neural network) to facilitate welding diagnostics based, at least in part, upon the health status received from the welder. The expert component can adaptively modify its modeling technique(s) based upon historical success (e.g., learn from success of previous welding diagnostics). The invention further provides for the welder, local system and / or remote system to initiate corrective action, at least temporarily, based, at least in part, upon the health status of the welder.

A communications network is provided with a self-healing topological architecture. Each node in the network detects continuously transmitted beacon packets that are propagated through the network at regular intervals by a root node. Upon failure to detect a new beacon packet after a predetermined time from a parent node, a network node determines a network isolation condition and searches for another node that is still actively connected in the network. Algorithms are provided for registering with and identifying active parent node candidates during a network failure so as to prevent the creation of network loops.

A system and method for tree matching are provided. The method for tree matching includes: acquiring tree-like structures representing a physical object or model; extracting a path from a first tree-like structure and a path from a second tree-like structure; comparing the paths of the first and second tree-like structures by computing a similarity measurement for the paths; and determining if the paths match based on the similarity measurement.

A method and system of applying modulated carrier signals to tree networks and processing signals tapped from the tree networks to generate output signals with phase-synchronized carriers are disclosed.
