Abstract: Methods and apparatus determine phase fractions for phases within a fluid mixture flow under a wide range of flow conditions including wet-gas flow. Appropriate flow algorithms can utilize this phase fraction information with a total flow rate of the mixture to find individual flow rates for phases, such as oil, water, and gas or gas and liquid, which can represent a combination of oil and water phases. For some embodiments, a multiphase flowmeter includes an array of spatially distributed pressure sensors configured to determine a velocity of the mixture flow and hence the total flow rate, which is applied with information from a differential pressure meter to calculate the bulk density of the fluid mixture. Further, additional speed of sound information or a water-in-liquid ratio as may be determined by spectral analysis can enable differentiation between the oil and water phases.

Abstract: Device and method for calculating distance in a communication network (100) using Time-To-Live (TTL) values Device A sets (202) a non-predictable initial TTL value (TTL_S) and sends a message (204) with this TTL value to device B. The TLL value should be at least as high as the TTL ceiling and lower or equal to the maximum TTL value (normally 255). Device B reads (206) the TTL value (TTL_R) of the received message Device A and device B establish (208, 210) a Secure Authenticated Channel (SAC) (212) over which device B sends (214) the TTL value of the received message (TTL_R). Device A may then calculate (216) the distance to device B. If TTL_R > TTL_S, this indicates an error or an attack; if TTL_R < TTL_S-TTL_C, then device B is too distant; and if TTL_S - TTL_C <= TTL_R <= TTL_S, then device A may conclude that device B a priori is within the required distance.

Title: Detecting obstructions in enteral/parenteral feeding tubes and automatic removal of clogs therefrom
Inventor: FRANTZ MARK G
IPC: F04B43/08
Filed: 1999-11-04
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: A tube in a pumped fluid system can become obstructed by a clog. The clog is automatically cleared in response to an obstruction signal (B) by modifying the pumping cycle which is normally used to pump the fluid. In particular, the pumping cycle is stopped after a compression stroke (BDC'-TDC) to apply sustained high pressure in the clogged tube, using the same fluid and the same pump, to expel the clog from the tube. The obstruction signal (B) is derived by measuring the pressure due to viscosity (C) effects have subsided. Therefore, if the pressure remains elevated, a determination of an obstructed state can reliably be made which may be caused by a clog.

Abstract: A system and method for controllably chirping electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source includes an optical cavity arrangement. The optical cavity arrangement enables electromagnetic radiation to be produced with a substantially linear chirp rate and a configurable period. By selectively injecting electromagnetic radiation into the optical cavity, the electromagnetic radiation may be produced with a single resonant mode that is frequency shifted at the substantially linear chirp rate. Producing the electromagnetic radiation with a single resonant mode may increase the coherence length of the electromagnetic radiation, which may be advantageous when the electromagnetic radiation is implemented in various applications. For example, the electromagnetic radiation produced by the optical cavity arrangement may enhance a range, speed, accuracy, and/or other aspects of a laser radar system.

Title: System for monitoring a plurality of sensors
Inventor: ROWELL SHANE MORSE
IPC: B61B12/06
Filed: 2009-03-10
Granted: 2016-08-23
Abstract: A monitoring system (30) for detecting faults in an apparatus (10), such as a ski lift, employs a communication network (37,38) onto which a sensor bus controller (36) periodically transmits a safety message and receives a echo of each safety message. Different sensors (25) are coupled to sensor adapter modules (31,32,33) that in turn are connected in a series to the communication network. After the last sensor adapter module (33) in the series, each safety message is echoed back along the communication network. Each sensor adapter module (31,32,33), upon receiving a safety message, increments a count in that message and transmits the resultant safety message to another module. When a sensor (25) indicates a fault condition, the associated sensor adapter module (31,32,33) blocks propagation of safety messages along the communication network (37,38). The sensor bus controller determines, in response to a failure to receive the echo and to the count in the echo, whether a fault occurred.
