Inventor: MACGREGOR CALUM JOHN
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 2011-10-28
Abstract: An optical absorption gas sensor for detecting an analyte gas comprises a gas sample receiving chamber, at least one light emitting diode (LED) and a photodiode or other photosensor. A plurality of light pulses are generated by passing pulses of current through the at least one LED. The current through the at least one LED is measured a plurality of times during each pulse and taken into account when generating a compensated output signal. The transfer ratio between LED current and photodiode output signal is calculated a plurality of times during each pulse. An ADC measures the LED and photodiode currents alternately. The LED pulses are generated by inductor discharge flyback and the period of time for which current is supplied to the inductor prior to each pulse is selected so that the photodiode output current is at an optimal region within the input range of the ADC. At least the temperature of the at least one LED is measured and taken into account when generating the compensated output signal. Thus, rather than providing especially careful control of the LED pulses, the pulses are measured, enabling a simpler, lower power circuit which is tolerant of variations in temperature to be provided.

Inventor: CARPENTER ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: B63B3/02
Filed: 2014-09-29
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, my watercraft is significantly less expensive to build. It is bigger, stronger, lighter, cheaper to manufacture, more extensible and safer than any watercraft of current design. The structure of the hull(s) and deck are created using only two polyhedrons. In addition, a geodesic dome superstructure complements the goals of low-cost, high structural integrity and rigidity of the watercrafts' hull(s) and deck. With the ability to create a large deck, one is able to park a motor vehicle on the deck. In keeping with the goal of affordability, a paddlewheel apparatus allows the use of an existing motor vehicle to propel and steer our watercraft thereby imparting mobility to the watercraft at a significant cost savings. These features represent a radical departure from existing watercraft design and manufacturing method, along with a low cost propulsion and steerage alternative.

Title: Environmental control systems and methods of configuring environmental control systems
Inventor: NEWCOMER DOUGLAS A
IPC: F24F13/08
Filed: 2013-04-22
Abstract: An environmental control system of a building utilizes lower vents which open into lower portions of rooms of a building, and upper vents which open into upper portions of rooms of the building. When the system is operating in a heating mode, heated air is delivered into the upper portions of the rooms through the upper vents and air is removed from the rooms through the lower vents. When the system is operating in a cooling mode, cool air is delivered into the rooms through the lower vents, and air is removed from the rooms through the upper vents. Operating the heating and cooling modes in this fashion provides the most efficient operation of the heating and cooling system. A switching unit is used to selectively couple the inlet and outlet of an air handling unit to the upper and lower vents.
