Abstract
Methods and systems to achieve highly efficient rotational machine integrity determinations in which at least one sensor (106) senses indicia (105) such as time-varying rotational indicia from a rotational motive apparatus (103) and a processor (108) may provide many different functions including but not limited to operational function energy apportioning decisional processing, data compression, intelligent hierarchical data ranking, differential data processing, or the like perhaps to generate information (109) such as a rotational integrity abridgment transmissor to which an abridgment transmissor electromagnetic signal (112) may be created and perhaps even transmitted from a rotational motive apparatus to facilitate a machine integrity determination.
