Abstract

Sensor based diagnostic apparatus for performing on-line realtime monitoring of an industrial or other operating system. The diagnostic apparatus has a rule network for propagation of belief leading to one or more possible malfunctions of equipment in the operating system. The propagation of belief is dynamically altered as a function of the operating conditions of the sensors themselves.
