Glossary of terms<br />

• Cardio-Vascular: the business unit within PMS responsible for the development, sales <strong>and</strong><br />

service of Philips Cardio-Vascular X-Ray Systems.<br />

• Cardio-Vascular X-Ray System: system is used to enable diagnosis <strong>and</strong> treatment of patients<br />

with cardiac <strong>and</strong> vascular diseases by using the X-ray imaging technique.<br />

• Cause-to-Effect Reasoning: see consistency-based approach.<br />

• Chameleon: a FRU that is used in the power supply example; it needs voltage.<br />

• Chiller: a FRU that is used in the power supply example; it needs voltage.<br />

• Collimator: a device made from radiation absorbent material such as lead or tungsten, designed<br />

to limit <strong>and</strong> define the direction <strong>and</strong> angular divergence of the radiation beam. This<br />

FRU is part of the environment for the beam propeller movement, <strong>and</strong> used in the power<br />

supply example; it needs voltage.<br />

• Component: one element of a larger system.<br />

• Consistency-based Approach: an approach to fault diagnosis that defines a diagnosis as a set<br />

of assumptions about a system component’s abnormal behavior such that observations of one<br />

component’s misbehavior are consistent with the assumption that all the other components<br />

are acting correctly [11, 25].<br />

• Consistency-based Model: see Consistency-based Approach.<br />

• CRCB: a FRU that is used in the power supply example; it needs voltage.<br />

• Customer downtime: see repair time.<br />

• C/V: See Cardio-Vascular.<br />

• Data Mining: automatically searching large stores of data for correlations between variables.<br />

• Deduction: inference in which the conclusion is of no greater generality than the premises.<br />

• Dependability (dependable): a property that a successful system must have. It can be decomposed<br />

into the more lower level attributes availability, integrity, maintainability, reliability<br />

<strong>and</strong> safety [4].<br />

• Development Costs: a criterion of diagnostic performance that is used in this thesis, namely<br />

all the costs that have to made prior to the start of the diagnostic process (e.g., supporting artifacts,<br />

training sessions for troubleshooters, other prepare actions that precede the operational<br />

phase).<br />

• Diagnosis: see fault.<br />

• Diagnostic Approach: the specific characteristics of a fault diagnosis process (e.g., reasoning<br />

scheme, online or off-line reasoning, automated or manual inference, etc.).<br />

• Diagnostic Engine: MBD engine that produces diagnoses based on a model <strong>and</strong> real-life<br />

observations.<br />
