By using monitoring data, feedback data, and pooling of failure data from a plurality of electronic devices, real-time failure prediction and diagnoses of electronic systems operating in a network environment can be achieved. First, the diagnostic system requests data on the state of a machine and / or its components and collections thereof as part of the machine's normal operation. Secondly, real-time processing of the data either at the machine site or elsewhere in the distributed network allows for predicting or diagnosing system failures. Having determined and / or predicted a system failure, a communication to one or more remote observers in the network allows the remote observers to view the diagnostic information and / or required action to repair the failure. Furthermore, interrogation of either the particular electronic system, or a database containing data on similar electronic systems by the diagnostic server allows the diagnostic server to refine original diagnoses based on this population data to achieve a comprehensive failure predication / diagnosing system.

It has been discovered that system operational characteristics (e.g., power level, clock frequency, processor utilization, operating system time slice utilization, size and age of queued jobs) may be used to predict storage access requirements for the system. By predicting the storage access requirements of a system, a storage subsystem may be advantageously controlled to anticipate storage accesses. A storage device or array of such devices can be configured to operate, for example, at selected speeds no greater than that required to process the predicted storage access requirements. The storage access prediction may be based, for example, on the frequency and voltage at which a processor is running or based on other system performance indicators such as job backlog and age and size thereof. Various controllable characteristics such as the speed of a hard drive's storage media, the current applied to a read / write head, etc., can be increased or decreased continuously or to discrete values in response to moving average indicators which provide advance warning of potential processing, and therefore potential storage access, swings.

A plurality of ECG Superscore formulae, created from multiple parameter ECG measurements including those from advanced ECG techniques, can be optimized using additive multivariate statistical models or pattern recognition procedures, with the results compared against a large database of ECG measurements from individuals with known cardiac conditions and / or previous cardiac events. Superscore formulae utilize multiple ECG parameters and accompanying weighting coefficients and allow data obtained from any given patient to be used in calculating that patient's ECG Superscore results. ECG Superscores have retrospectively optimized accuracy for identifying and screening individuals for underlying heart disease and / or for determining the risk of future cardiac events. They thus have greater predictive value than that of any conventional or advanced ECG measurement alone or of any non-optimized combinations of conventional or advanced ECG measurements that have been used in the past. Ongoing optimization of ECG Superscore diagnostic and predictive accuracy may be realized through the iterative adjustment of Superscore formulae based on the incorporation of data from new patients into the database and / or from longitudinal follow-up of the disease and cardiac event status of existing patients.

Detecting patterns and sequences associated with an anomaly in predictions made a predictive system. The predictive system makes predictions by learning spatial patterns and temporal sequences in an input data that change over time. As the input data is received, the predictive system generates a series of predictions based on the input data. Each prediction is compared with corresponding actual value or state. If the prediction does not match or deviates significantly from the actual value or state, an anomaly is identified for further analysis. A corresponding state or a series of states of the predictive system before or at the time of prediction are associated with the anomaly and stored. The anomaly can be detected by monitoring whether the predictive system is placed in the state or states that is the same or similar to the stored state or states.
