Title: Method for spectrometrically measuring isotopic gas and apparatus thereof
Inventor: HAMAO TAMOTSU
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: A correction curve is prepared by plotting 12CO2 concentrations and 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratios which are determined on the basis of a calibration curve and 13CO2 and 12CO2 absorbances of gaseous samples having the same 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio but known different 12CO2 concentrations. A gaseous test ample containing 13CO2 and 12CO2 as component gases is introduced into a cell, and spectrometrically measured. A 12CO2 concentration of the gaseous test sample is determined by pay of the spectrometric measurement. A concentration ratio correction value is obtained on the basis of the correction curve and the 12CO2 concentration of the gaseous test sample thus determined. A measured 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio is divided by the concentration ratio correction value thus obtained for correction of the 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio. Thus, the measurement accuracy of the concentration ratios of the component gases can be improved.

Title: Brake condition monitoring
Inventor: GRIFFIN NICHOLAS CHARLES
IPC: F16D66/02
Filed: 2001-08-03
Abstract: System and method for monitoring the applications of the brakes, e.g. of an aircraft to determine brake condition and operate a brake maintenance programme or charge a brake system user. It is desirable to have accurate information for determining the condition and predicting the life of carbon-carbon brake discs. This is important for safety as well as commercial reasons. The number of landings of an aircraft is often used as a determinant for such as lifetime warranties for brake discs and recommended maintenance periods. However, at least for carbon disc brakes, this may not be entirely accurate. For example such brake discs also wear during taxiing. The system and method herein includes monitoring each actuation of the brakes and making a separate record of each actuation of the brakes in which there is relative movement of the facing friction surfaces that cause wear, and from that separate record determining brake usage. The monitoring may include measuring changes and processing the signals to distinguish between those which fall below and those which are above a threshold value. Herein there is also described, a method and apparatus for monitoring a braking system comprising sensing a plurality of braking parameters having values dependent upon wear in the system and different faults of the system, and identifying and recording wear and faults based on combinations of values of said parameters.

Title: Method for estimating and reducing uncertainties in process measurements
Inventor: MOTT JACK EDWARD
IPC: G05B17/02
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: A reference matrix contains valid measurements characterizing operation of a multivariate process (220). Modeling parameters of the reference matrix are derived (222-232). The final model parameters, balanced with respect to measuring and modeling uncertainties (234, 202), are applied to model (204) a new set of measurements (200). If the new set has no faults (206) then all modeled values and modeling uncertainties (208) can be used to control the process (218). If the new set has only one fault (210) then the modeled value and modeling uncertainty of the faulted measurement plus the measured values and measuring uncertainties of the unfaulted measurements (212) can be used to control the process (218) while repair procedures are implemented for the identified fault (216). If the new set has more than one fault (214) then the process (218) should be shut down, and repair procedures should be implemented (216) for all identified faults.
