Abstract: A method for measuring the concentration of at least one constituent of an
exhaust flow from an engine provided with a gas sensor system (10) having a
measurement cell (12), includes transmitting radiation at a reference wavelength
(λref) through the measurement cell and calculating a corrected reference
intensity which is representative of the intensity of radiation transmitted through
the measurement cell (12) at the reference wavelength (λref) and substantially
independent of gas sensor system characteristics. The method also includes
transmitting radiation at a first measurement wavelength (λ1) through the
measurement cell (12) and measuring a first intensity representative of the
intensity of radiation transmitted through the measurement cell (12) at the first
measurement wavelength. By comparing the first intensity with the corrected
reference intensity, the concentration of a constituent of the exhaust stream can
be deduced substantially independently of gas sensor system characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming a display comprising
the steps of (a) providing a substrate (15); (b) forming a plurality of first conductors (20)
over the substrate; (c) depositing a layer of cholesteric liquid-crystal material (30), in
the form of droplets (72,74) of liquid crystal in a liquid carrier, over a preselected area of
each of said first conductors so that a preselected portion of each of said first
conductors is uncoated; (d) drying the liquid carrier to form a layer of polymer-dispersed
cholesteric-liquid- crystal domains in a continuous matrix; and (e)
forming a plurality of second conductors (40), electrically isolated from the first
conductors, over the layer of polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal domains so that an
electric field between the second conductors and the uncoated portions of the first
conductors is capable of changing the optical state of the polymer-dispersed
cholesteric liquid-crystal material. The absence of a coating over the second
conductors permits connection to the first conductors without additional
processing steps. The invention is also directed to a display element made by the
method and to an array of display elements that represent an intermediate in the
production of the final form of the display elements.

Abstract: A high-definition optical disk device for recording and reproducing data with respect to lands and grooves of an optical disk. The grooves and the lands of the optical disk are wobbled, and address information is embedded in gray code. In the grooves and the lands, both groove track address systems and land track address systems are embedded and form redundant systems. When detecting the address of a land, in addition to demodulation of the address data from the land track address system, the address data is also extracted from the groove track address system. The address data thus extracted is used for verification to detect an error in the demodulated address data.
