Abstract
An age monitoring arrangement includes a sensor, a calculation component, and a timer. The sensor is configured to generate one or more measurements of an environmental property. The calculation component is configured to generate a virtual age and identify an occurrence of an event based on the one or more measurements and a clock using an aging module. The timer is configured to generate the clock.
Claims20
An age monitoring arrangement comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate one or more measurements of an environmental property;
- a calculation component configured generate a virtual age and identify an occurrence of an event based on the one or more measurements and a clock using an aging model;
- and
- a timer configured to generate the clock.
1 more element
An age monitoring arrangement comprising:
- a first sensor configured to generate one or more first measurements of a first property;
- a second sensor configured to generate one or more second measurements of a second property;
- and
- a calculation component configured to identify one or more events based on the one or more first measurements, the one or more second measurements and one or more aging models.
1 more element
A method of monitoring a component, the method comprising:
- measuring a property;
- determining elapsed time;
- determining a virtual age based on the measured property and the elapsed time using an aging model;
- and
- determining a remaining livetime based on the determined virtual age and a livetime budget.
