First Claim
1. A method for spectral signature interpretation comprising the steps of:
- measuring and transforming raw sensor signals of a system into frequency spectra;
isolating from said frequency spectra a plurality of resonance frequencies corresponding to operating conditions of components within the system;
developing a neural network from a mathematical model based on modeled resonant frequencies of components of said system, the resonant frequencies being adjusted to characterize the steady state condition of the system;
feeding the plurality of resonance frequencies into the neural network; and
outputting from the neural network a diagnosis of the actual physical conditions of said components of the system.

Abstract
A method for spectral signature interpretation. The method includes the creation of a mathematical model of a system or process. A neural network training set is then developed based upon the mathematical model. The neural network training set is developed by using the mathematical model to generate measurable phenomena of the system or process based upon model input parameter that correspond to the physical condition of the system or process. The neural network training set is then used to adjust internal parameters of a neural network. The physical condition of an actual system or process represented by the mathematical model is then monitored by extracting spectral features from measured spectra of the actual process or system. The spectral features are then input into said neural network to determine the physical condition of the system or process represented by the mathematical. More specifically, the neural network correlates the spectral features (i.e. measurable phenomena) of the actual process or system with the corresponding model input parameters. The model input parameters relate to specific components of the system or process, and, consequently, correspond to the physical condition of the process or system.
