Predictive fault determination for a non-stationary device
First Claim
1. A fault determining device comprising:
- a wireless receiver operative to wirelessly receive an operational status signal from a non-stationary operating device;
a processing device operative to;
extract status data relating to the operating device from the status signal; and
calculate condition level data for the operational device based on the status data, the condition data defining condition levels that indicate a likelihood of at least one operational failures by the operating device within one of a plurality of time periods; and
a wireless transmitter operative to wirelessly transmit the condition data to the operating device.

Abstract
A predictive fault determining system includes a non-stationary operating device and a stationary fault determining device that communicates with the operating device using wireless transmissions. The non-stationary operating device includes sensors determining status data of the operating device and a processing device to combine the status data, generating a status signal and wirelessly transmitting the status signal to the fault determining device. Using a wireless receiver, the fault determining device extracts the status data and calculates condition data for the operating device including condition levels, indicating a likelihood of at least one operational failure. Wirelessly, a condition data signal having the condition levels therein is transmitted to the non-stationary operating device, such that the resident processing device may determine if a warning notification should be generated based on selecting a condition level for various elements by comparing the status data to the condition data.
