Abstract :
In order to encourage the development of a secondary market for PCs, a system which utilises embedded sensors to perform prognostic monitoring of components has been proposed. This paper examines the technological aspects of the data recording phase of this system. The data extraction process is also discussed, and the technologies used for this are examined in depth.
