Virtual Instrumentation



Provides tools for sensor fault detection, increases the reliability of critical instruments and may generate "virtual sensor readings" in the event of failures.


Fault Early Warning



Uses sensor readings to detect the onset of a component failure with sufficient time to take corrective actions.


Fault Tolerant Control



Uses innovative concepts to create control systems that can operate safely even under conditions that would cause loss of control in conventional implementations.
