Abstract: A clothes dryer has a degree of dryness control system that is responsive to moisture level of clothing articles tumbling in a drum and a target moisture value to control the drying cycle of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer has a load size parameter producing module and an air flow detection parameter module. These modules generate one of two parameter conditions used by the processor to modify or select an appropriate moisture target value. The load size producing parameter module generates one of a small load input parameter and a large load input parameter. The air flow detection module produces one of a first and second air flow parameter to be utilized by the degree of dryness processor. As a result, the processor selects one of four target moisture values from these conditions.

Title: Distributed optical fibre measurements
Inventor: HARTOG ARTHUR H
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 2004-03-31
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: A method of obtaining a distributed measurement comprises deploying an optical fibre in a measurement region of interest, and launching into it a first optical signal at a first wavelength .lambda.0 and a high power level, a second optical signal at a second wavelength .lambda.-1, and a third optical signal at the first wavelength .lambda.0 and a low power level. These optical signals generate backscattered light at the second wavelength .lambda.-1 arising from Raman scattering of the first optical signal which is indicative of a parameter to be measured, at the first wavelength .lambda.0 arising from Rayleigh scattering of the first optical signal, at the second wavelength .lambda.-1 arising from Rayleigh scattering of the second optical signal, and at the first wavelength .lambda.0 arising from Rayleigh scattering of the third optical signal. The backscattered light is detected to generate four output signals, and a final output signal is derived by normalising the Raman scattering signal to a function derived from the three Rayleigh scattering signals, which removes the effects of wavelength-dependent and nonlinear loss.
