Abstract: Methods and a system for mobile device activity classification or context determination. The device compresses and sends sensor data to a remote server together with a selected activity label during a training phase. The remote server receives labeled sensor data from a number of devices and generates a classification model. The model may be reduced to a subspace that represents the dominant model parameters. The subspace data structure, which may be a small matrix, is transmitted to the mobile device. The mobile device uses the subspace data structure to classify device activity as indicated by the device sensors. In one example, the sensor data is projected onto the subspace matrix, which results in estimates of state probabilities for the various predefined states, the dominant one of which is selected as the current state, or estimated state.

Abstract: A method of controlling a switched mode converter is disclosed in which the switching frequency varies in proportion to the square of the sine of the phase of the input AC supply. Thus the switching frequency is a maximum, and the respective on period of the switch is a minimum, when the mains voltage is a maximum. Conversely, the switching frequency is reduced, and the respective on time of the switch is increased, when the mains voltage is reduced. Such a switching method provides for a high power factor. Implementation by means of a phase locked loop and a comparator may prevent the need for complex circuitry, and may provide for direct use of a digital controller or digital signal processing through a counter output in the phase locked loop. 
     A controller configured to operate such a method, together with an AC/DC converter embodying such a controller are also disclosed,

Abstract: The method involves determining an ampacity (A) of high-voltage line (100) from an operating temperature limit of high voltage line, distribution temperature, conduction parameters, and meteorological parameters. A value of the ampacity is selected by optimizing a probability of exceeding the distribution temperature, where the probability is defined based on a joint probability model of operating current strength and temperature that depends on meteorological parameters. The selected ampacity value is recorded (118) in a storage unit of a monitoring device. The selection of the value of the ampacity is obtained by initializing ampacity to a value (108), estimating probability of exceeding the distribution temperature (110), comparing the probability with limit value (112) and updating the ampacity value (116). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computer program downloadable from a communication network and/or recorded on a computer readable medium and/or executable by a processor comprising instructions for executing a method for monitoring a high-voltage electric current transmission line (2) a device for monitoring a high-voltage electric current transmission line.
