ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,578,719, issued on March 17, was assigned to Xerox Corp. (Norwalk, Conn.).
"Prediction of remaining useful life of an asset using conformal mathematical filtering" was invented by Peetak P. Mitra (San Francisco) and Kai Frank Goebel (Mountain View, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system determines that an asset of an engineering system has transitioned from a quasi-steady degradation stage to an accelerated degradation phase based on sensor measurements received from an asset. During the accelerated degradation phase, features are extracted from the sensor measurements that are indicative of wear of the asset. A conformal mathem...
