Abstract
Systems and methods for predictive health monitoring of gyroscopes and accelerometers are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises: a plurality of navigation devices each comprising at least one gyroscope or accelerometer and at least one predictive health monitoring module, wherein the at least one predictive health monitoring module collects diagnostic parameters from the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer; and at least one server communicatively coupled to the plurality of navigation devices, the at least one server configured to receive the collected data from the plurality of navigation devices and analyze the collected data from the plurality of navigation devices to determine a service prognosis.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a plurality of navigation devices;
- and
- a server;
- wherein the plurality of navigation devices each include at least one gyroscope or accelerometer, and each further includes at least one predictive health monitoring module that takes measurements of, and tracks, diagnostic parameters for the plurality of navigation devices and correlates the diagnostic parameters to the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- wherein the server includes:
- a port that receives the diagnostic parameters from the predictive health monitoring module;
- a memory that stores the diagnostic parameters;
- and
- a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device analyzes the diagnostic parameters to
- determine a service prognosis for the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- wherein the processing device determines the service prognosis by correlating collected data measured from at least one gyroscope or accelerometer that has since failed with collected data from at least one healthy gyroscope or accelerometer to provide an expected end of life prediction for the least one gyroscope or accelerometer of the plurality of navigation devices;
- and
- wherein the processing device outputs a notification to a maintenance system, the notification including information in the service prognosis, to generate a maintenance action for the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer.

A method comprising:
- using a predictive health monitor within a first navigation device that includes at least one gyroscope or accelerometer, collect a plurality of diagnostic parameters correlated to the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- receiving collected data from a plurality of navigation devices that includes the first navigation device, wherein the collected data comprises the plurality of diagnostic parameters correlated to the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- and
- analyzing the collected data from the plurality of navigation devices to determine a service prognosis for the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- wherein analyzing the collected data comprises correlating the collected data measured from at least one gyroscope or accelerometer that has since failed with collected data from at least one healthy gyroscope or accelerometer to provide an expected end of life prediction for the least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- and
- outputting a notification to a maintenance system, the notification including information in the service prognosis, to generate a maintenance action for the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer.

A system comprising:
- a plurality of navigation devices each comprising at least one gyroscope or accelerometer and wherein each of the plurality of navigation devices further comprises at least one predictive health monitoring module that monitors diagnostic parameters correlated to the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- and
- at least one server communicatively coupled to the plurality of navigation devices, the at least one server configured to receive collected data comprising the diagnostic parameters from the plurality of navigation devices and analyze the collected data from the plurality of navigation devices to determine a service prognosis for the at least one gyroscope or accelerometer;
- wherein the at least one server determines the service prognosis by correlating collected data measured from at least one gyroscope or accelerometer that has since failed with collected data from at least one healthy gyroscope or accelerometer to provide an expected end of life prediction for the least one gyroscope or accelerometer.
