Dual signal correlation system
First Claim
1. A dual signal correlation system comprising:
- a sensor system for monitoring the status of a component, said sensor system providing at least first and second data signals relating to the status of said component; and
a processing system for receiving and selectively modifying said first and second data signals of said sensor system, wherein said processing system compares a current value for said first data signal to a current value for said second data signal, and wherein if said current value for said first data signal is determined not to be correlated with said current value for said second data signal or is determined to be uncorrelated with said current value for said second data signal, a previously measured value for said first data signal, instead of said current value for said first data signal, is used for subsequent processing.

Abstract
A dual signal correlation system including a component to be monitored and a sensor system for monitoring the status of the component. The sensor system provides at least first and second data signals relating to the status of the component. The dual signal correlation system further includes a processing system for receiving, monitoring and selectively modifying the first and second data signals of the sensor system. The processing system compares a current value for the first data signal to a current value for the second data signal, and wherein if the current value for the first data signal is determined not to be correlated or is determined to be uncorrelated with the current value for the second data signal, a previously measured value for the first data signal, instead of the current value for the first data signal, is used for subsequent processing.

20. A feedback system for monitoring and modifying first and second data signals provided to the feedback system, wherein said feedback system is configured to compare a current value for said first data signal to a current value for said second data signal, and wherein if said current value for said first data signal is determined not to be correlated with said current value for said second data signal, a previously measured value for said first data signal, instead of said current value for said first data signal, is output from said system for subsequent processing.

21. A method for providing feedback including the steps of:
-
receiving from a sensor system current values for first and second data signals;
determining whether said current values for said first and second data signals are correlated, and wherein if said current values for said data signals are determined not to be correlated, a previously measured value for at least one of said data signals is provided for subsequent processing. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
