Physical sensor measurements from Analog Devices ADXL355 tri-axial accelerometers mounted on high-speed industrial dynamometer motors (OpenBLDC dataset).
Raw 20-bit dynamic acceleration waveform correlated against narrowband harmonic resonance extraction and edge health decay latching.
Captures 3-axis accelerometer counts under normal running torque followed by real mechanical impact shocks when sub-surface ball/raceway spalling initiates.
Dual-spectrum overlay showing healthy motor baseline (green dashed) vs. bearing defect spall peaks at 1X shaft speed (8.3 Hz), BPFO (94 Hz), and 2X BPFO (188 Hz).
Continuous edge health rating mapped against ISO 10816 Zones A, B, C, and D. Latches decisive safety trip in 1.28 seconds (20 windows) upon defect inception.

Conventional cloud vibration algorithms attempt to buffer 10 to 60 seconds of raw high-speed waveform data in memory, requiring expensive external SDRAM and continuous batch transfers. AC Engine operates as a true real-time streaming pipeline designed specifically for resource-constrained microcontrollers:
Processes each incoming 32-sample sensor FIFO chunk in real-time. The entire state machine resides in a static 375-byte allocation with zero heap fragmentation (malloc = 0).
RMS, Crest Factor, Kurtosis, and Kinematic Harmonics are evaluated in deterministic 32-bit registers with saturation clamping, preventing arithmetic overflow without requiring an FPU.
Recursive baseline tracking eliminates historical memory queues while maintaining flat baseline stability (85.00% ± 0.08%) across 320 million samples without drift or stack growth.
