First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring an environmental condition, the method comprising:
- storing a first model in a memory;
acquiring environmental data from a plurality of sensors selected from at least one of a chemical sensor, a biological sensor, and a radiation sensor;
applying the first model to the environmental data to identify a first predicted descriptor characteristic of a state of an environment; and
consulting a first knowledge based system to provide an output based upon the first predicted descriptor, wherein the environmental data obtained from the plurality of sensors is acquired by way of a distributed network, and wherein the environmental condition corresponds to at least one of a chemical, biological or radiation condition.

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.

20. A method for monitoring an environmental condition, the method comprising:
-
storing a first model in a memory;
acquiring environmental data from at least one of a chemical sensor, a biological sensor, and a radiation sensor;
applying the first model to the environmental data to identify a first predicted descriptor characteristic of a state of an environment; and
consulting a first knowledge based system to provide an output based upon the first predicted descriptor, said method further comprising;
acquiring initial data from a source comprising the at least one of the chemical, biological, and a radiation sensor at a first time;
converting the initial data into electronic form;
loading the initial data into memory;
retrieving the initial data from memory;
acquiring subsequent data from the source at a second time;
assigning a first descriptor to the initial data and a second descriptor to the subsequent data;
constructing the model based upon the initial data, the subsequent data, the first descriptor, and the second descriptor; and
storing the model in memory. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
