A method and system for quickly informing a backup unit that a primary unit has failed. Normally an exception handler is activated when a software failure occurs and network controller chips or the ASIC interface to a signal bus can operate even though there is a software failure. A software failure notification packet is programmed and stored in a location that is not affected by a software system failure. When a software failure occurs, control is shifted to the exception handler. The exception handler sends a pre-established and pre-addressed packet to the network controller card which transmits this packet to the backup unit. Upon receipt of the packet, the backup unit goes into operation. In some alternate embodiments that include multiple line cards in a single unit, the exception handler sends a signal to a backup unit via a signal bus or a data bus.

A method detects soft failures as follows. A set of artifacts being generated by at least one process in a system is monitored. A number of artifacts being generated by the process is determined to be below a given threshold in response to the monitoring. The process is monitored in response to the determination. A current state of the process is determined in response to the analyzing. A notification is generated in response to the current state of the process including a set of abnormal behaviors.

A method for operating a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes controlling opening of intake or exhaust valves, via a step of generating a control current in a control circuit for an electrical actuator coupled with the valve. The control circuit is then monitored for an induced current that differs from the control current, and a signal outputted that is indicative of valve performance responsive to monitoring the control circuit. Another operating method includes determining engine valve performance and also trimming an engine valve based on one signal which is indicative of valve performance. An internal combustion engine includes an electrical actuator configured to control opening or closing of one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve. An electronic control module is configured via a software fault detection routine to determine a performance condition of an intake or exhaust valve in the engine via monitoring a control circuit for induced currents when an electrical actuator coupled with the intake or exhaust valve is de-energized.

The invention belongs to the technical field of open source software reliability models, and particularly relates to an open source software reliability modeling method for introducing faults based ona debugging process. The method comprises the following steps: (1) proposing a model hypothesis; (2) establishing a differential equation; and (3) establishing an open source software fault detectionreliability model. According to the method, on the basis of fully considering that time delay exists between actual open source software fault detection and fault removal, a corresponding open sourcesoftware reliability model is established by considering the situation that faults are possibly introduced when the faults are removed. Due to the fact that the situation that faults are possibly introduced when the faults of the open source software are removed is considered, the established ground open source software reliability model better conforms to the actual fault detection and fault removal change process, and the assumption of establishing the ground open source software reliability model is more reasonable and credible.

A mobile robot software fault diagnosis system based on an artificial immune system, the system is composed of a normal model building module, a software fault detection module, a known software fault diagnosis module, an unknown software fault diagnosis module, a software fault elimination module and a system repair module. The normal model building block utilizes the normal model of the mobile robot software system to build an autologous database. The software fault detection module detects all self and software faults through self database retrieval. A normal model is uniquely determined by the spatiotemporal properties of all normal components in a normal software system. The known software fault diagnosis module identifies known software faults by querying the software fault database. The unknown software fault diagnosis module uses the neural network or example learning mechanism to learn unknown software faults, and memorizes the learning results into the software fault database, and the known software fault diagnosis module identifies such software faults.
