A method for detecting and diagnosing sensor faults in an autonomous system that includes sensors and hardware components, according to which sensors are related to hardware components and correlations between data readings are recognized online and correlation between sensors is determined. Predefined suspicious patterns are identified by online and continuously tracking the data readings from each sensor and detecting correlation breaks over time. The readings from sensors that match at least one of the patterns are marked as uncertain. For each online reading of the sensors, whenever sensors that used to be correlated show a different behavior, reporting that the reading indicates a fault. Upon identifying fault detection, diagnosing which of the internal components or sensors caused the fault, based on a function that returns the state of the sensor which is associated with the fault detection.

In an information processing device according to the present invention, an acquisition unit is configured to acquire a plurality of values related to a state quantity of a target device. An extraction unit is configured to extract a state value group constituted by a plurality of values related to an identical state quantity from the acquired plurality of values. A specification unit is configured to specify a value to be used to manage the target device from the state value group based on reliabilities of the values included in the state value group.

Methods, systems, and devices for controlling access within a multi-facility room are provided. More specifically, a guest of the multi-room facility is allowed to remotely confirm reservations to the facility as well as bypass the front desk of the multi-room for check-in purposes. At a location within the facility, the guest is allowed to confirm their arrival, check-in, and have their access credential written with personalized access data that may be useable for the duration of the guest's stay.

An intelligent entrance guard unlocking method includes: transmitting electric energy by wireless electromagnetic radiation via a transmit coil; receiving the electric energy via a receive coil; capturing a vein image of a part of a user via a number of small cameras by Infrared scanning technology and filtering noises from the vein image to get a filtered vein image; transmitting a wireless signal containing the filtered vein image to an intelligent entrance guard; comparing the filtered vein image with a predefined vein image; unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image.

Embodiments disclosed herein include a test control panel device, system, computer program product, and method for receiving a test input signal; reading a duration of the test input signal; verifying that the signal duration is a valid duration to initiate the test; initiating the test by sending a start test signal to a valve controller device; receiving signals from the valve controller device; indicating that the test control panel device has received a valve controller device signal from the valve controller device; wherein the valve controller device signal is a test acknowledgement signal.

Systems and methods are provided for testing aircraft countermeasure dispenser systems (CMDS) by wirelessly monitoring and controlling wireless countermeasure dispenser testing system units (WCDTs). The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented in one example to allow functions of multiple WCDT units to be simultaneously monitored and controlled in real time via a wireless connection or wireless network connection such as wireless local area network (WLAN) or other short or long range wireless network.
