Title: Capacitive level sensor having autocalibration facility
Inventor: LYNTON MCKAY
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of electronic sensors capable of determining the level of a flowable substance, such as liquid (including water). Such sensors typically comprise an elongate probe which is fixed within or proximal to a body of the flowable substance and are adapted to output an electrical signal or data that is used to estimate the level of the flowable substance around or proximal to the probe. In one form of the invention there is provided a capacitive level sensor probe being generally elongate and comprising conductors configured such that, in use, as the level of a flowable substance crosses a first predetermined point along the length of the sensor a first detectable alteration in capacitance is generated, and as the level of a flowable substance crosses a second predetermined point along the length of the sensor a second detectable alteration in capacitance is generated. A probe of this arrangement is amenable to use in an autocalibration method.

Title: Dual-comb spectrometry
Inventor: Stéphane Schilt
IPC: G01J3/433
Filed: 2020-11-06
Abstract: A dual-comb spectrometer (DCS) comprises two semiconductor e.g. QCL lasers 10, 12 acting as master and follower, outputting respective frequency combs C1, C2 having a frequency offset between their inter-mode beat frequencies. Although the master laser is driven nominally with a DC drive signal Idrive,1 the current nevertheless oscillates with an AC component that follows the beating of the intermode comb lines lasing in the master, which is tapped off and mixed with a reference frequency Δfrep to provide the required frequency offset, the mixed signal then being supplied to the follower laser 12. The respective frequency combs in the optical domain are thus phase-locked relative to each other in one degree of freedom, so that the electrical signals obtained by multi-heterodyning the two optical signals are frequency stabilized. Also disclosed are dual-comb spectrometers having a noise-cancelling mixer and beat-note extracting bandpass filter, and having a bandwidth compression mixer.

Abstract: A method of managing a disaster condition (DC) for a User equipment (UE) wherein the UE is connected to a network (a PLMN) via first and second access types (e.g. 3GPP and non-3GPP access). The first access type experiences the DC and the UE detects the DC with respect to the first access type via receipt of a non-access stratum (NAS) signalling message over the second access type. In response, the UE may take actions such as remain on the PLMN using the second access type or select a new PLMN using the first access type. A further method of managing a DC for a UE connected to a network (a PLMN) via first and second access types (e.g. 3GPP and non-3GPP access). The UE detects the DC with respect to the first access type via receipt of a non-access stratum (NAS) signalling message over the second access type. In response, the UE enters a deregistered state with respect to the second access type and selects a new PLMN using the first access type.
