Inventor: LEWIS ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: F24D12/02
Filed: 2011-09-13
Abstract: The heating system comprises one or more infra-red heaters that are configured to direct heat to an area having a heat demand. The area may be a room of a building and the system may comprise a plurality of infra-red heaters and a secondary heat source, wherein the secondary heat source provides a background temperature to the room, such as 15 degrees Celsius, and the plurality of infra-red heaters direct heat at one or more persons in the room to heat those persons to a desired temperature set by the or each individual person.

Title: A method of analysing gas chromatography data
Inventor: SUTAN ANWAR
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 2012-10-23
Abstract: A method of analysing gas chromatography data comprises receiving a first response factor data set acquired from a gas chromatograph (GC) apparatus during a procedure on a calibration or reference gas sample at a first time. One or more additional response factor data sets acquired from the gas chromatograph apparatus during a procedure on a calibration or reference gas sample from one or more later times are also received. The method also comprises calculating a measure of uncertainty for at least one compound of the reference gas sample from the first and additional response factor data sets.
