DETECTING CONSTRAINED MOTION OF A COMPONENT IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for detecting the presence of constrained motion in one or more components in a computer system, the method comprising:
- monitoring a vibrational spectrum of the computer system while the computer system operates; and
analyzing the vibrational spectrum using a pattern-recognition model to detect constrained motion in one or more components in the computer system, wherein the pattern-recognition model classifies the vibrational spectrum as indicating constrained motion or as not indicating constrained motion.

Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that detects the presence of constrained motion in one or more components in a computer system. First, a vibrational spectrum of the computer system is monitored while the computer system operates. Then, the vibrational spectrum is analyzed using a pattern-recognition model to detect constrained motion in one or more components in the computer system, wherein the pattern-recognition model classifies the vibrational spectrum as indicating constrained motion or as not indicating constrained motion.
