The Ideal Final Result and Contradiction Matrix for Machine Condition Monitoring with TRIZ

Condition monitoring of machines (systems) is the science and technology for the assessment of condition of running machine by means of observation of machine phenomenal field, where some symptom of condition can be captured and measured (see for example [Collacott 77]). This means that we are trying to determine the fault space of the machine, its dimensionality and fault advancement, by some observed symptoms of condition, creating in this way our observation space. The fault space of a system (machine) can be assumed by some prior knowledge taken from the experience with the other running machines, and the same concerns with symptom observation space with some redundancy.
