Claim Text:
1. A system for determining a quantity of transported fluid, comprising: an interface that receives a plurality of measured parameters corresponding to measurements directed to a fluid within a conduit at different measurement times while the fluid is transported; a measured parameter receiver for obtaining the plurality of measured parameters relating to the fluid within the conduit at the different measurement times during at least a predetermined time interval; a measured parameter combiner for combining the measured parameters relating to the predetermined time interval, using a full flow rate calculation, to obtain a first quantity indicative of an amount of fluid that has been transported through the conduit during the predetermined time interval; a time interval divider for dividing the predetermined time interval into a plurality of subintervals corresponding to respective quantity calculation periods (QCPs); a parameter associating unit for associating at least one averaged parameter with each of the subintervals, the parameter associating unit comprising the measured parameter combiner, the time interval divider, the parameter associating unit, and the averaged parameter determiner performing said combining, dividing, associating, and determining repeatedly as new measured parameters are received; a parameter corrector for determining a corrected value for at least one of the averaged parameters; and a quantity corrector for determining a corrected value for the first quantity based on the corrected value for said at least one of the averaged parameters, the quantity corrector comprising
