First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a fault table configured to receive fault information associated with a component and a time value associated with the fault information; and
a diagnosis processor configured to read the fault information from the fault table and initiate corrective action as a function of the fault information and the time value associated with the fault information before a failure of the component occurs, said diagnosis processor further to remove the fault information from the fault table when the time value associated with the fault information indicates that the fault information is older than a predetermined threshold.

11. A method for handling faults in a system, comprising:
-
receiving fault information associated with a component; storing the fault information in a fault information table; storing a time value associated with the fault information in the fault information table; taking corrective action as a function of the fault information and the time value associated with the fault information before a failure of the component occurs; and removing the fault information from the fault information table when the time value associated with the fault information indicates the fault information is older than a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An article of manufacture comprising a computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions adapted to be executed by a processor, the instructions which, when executed, define a series of steps to be used to control a method for handling faults in a system, said steps comprising:
-
receiving fault information associated with a component; storing the fault information in a fault information table; storing a time value associated with the fault information in the fault information table; taking corrective action as a function of the fault information and the time value associated with the fault information before a failure of the component occurs; and removing the fault information from the fault information table when the time value associated with the fault information indicates the fault information is older than a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17)
