time fault

plural time faults

1. equestrianismA penalty given in which a rider does not complete the course in the time allowed that is set by the course designer.

   If the rider is over the time allowed he or she is penalized 1⁄4 time fault for every second over the limit.

   For instance, a refusal was three points, but as it generally took the rider precious seconds to get his horse over the refused fence, a time fault of four points could be expected.

   If I went over by a tenth of a second, I got a time fault and some other horse would be the last qualifier for the Grand Prix.

2. engineeringA fault in the timing of an automated system.

   Finally, the bottom window of the figure displays the time fault estimation results.

   There are significant numbers of works addressing discrete time fault detection problems using Kalman filter techniques [40, 41, 42]. Similar to the multi-objective design problem of continuous time fault detection, robustness in discrete time fault detection is also a very important issue but difficult to handle.

   In closed-loop DES, timed fault isolation is the determination of time fault symptoms based on observed and modeled timed system outputs. The time fault symptoms refer to time behavior of I/Os that is inconsistent with the modeled one.
