Abstract
A method for controlling an industrial process. The method includes outputting a plurality of parameters from a process for manufacture of a substance. The method also uses each of the plurality of parameters in a computer aided process, which compares at least two of the plurality of parameters against a training set of parameters. The training set of parameters is generally predetermined. A step of determining if the at least two of the plurality of parameters are within a predetermined range of the training set of parameters also is included. Additionally, the method includes outputting a result based upon the determining step.

21. A method for identifying a mode of operation in an industrial process, the method comprising:
-
running an industrial process, the industrial process being characterized by a plurality of parameters at an in-process state of a substance or object being manufactured, each of the parameters defining a characteristic of the substance or the object in the in-process state;
converting each of the parameters into an electronic form;
inputting each of the plurality of parameters through a preprocessing method to increase a signal to noise ratio of one or more of the plurality of parameters, the preprocessing method being preselected based upon a training set of parameters that improved the signal to noise ration of the one or more parameters;
processing the preprocessed parameters through a computer aided process to form a descriptor from the preprocessed parameters, the computer aided process being selected from a plurality of computer aided processes based upon a training set of parameters;
determining if the descriptor is within a selected class from a plurality of classes; and
outputting a result based upon the determining step.
