Inventor: PETZOLD LARS
IPC: G08G1/09
Filed: 2009-06-29
Abstract: A efficient method of encoding a continuous path within a road network is described. Ideally the path to be encoded is capable of being completely represented within a digital map and expressible as a path list of lines and/or segments existing in said digital map and consecutively ordered. The method comprises the steps of: (i) storing a start position in a route search list, said start position being one of: (a) the line or segment first appearing in said path list or, where the start node of said first line or segment is artificial, the first line or segment appearing in said digital map having a real start node and which leads directly to said first line or segment optionally through other artificial nodes, or (b) a most recently identified deviation line or segment also appearing in said path list; (ii) determining a path from the start node of the start position and including said start position to an end node of the last line or segment in the path list within said digital map, said path being determined according to an algorithm, (iii) comparing the shortest path so determined to the path list for identity, and in the absence of identity, identifying at least one deviation line or segment being part of the path list and having a start node representative of an intersection in said digital map but not being the line or segment first appearing in said path list, and if such deviation line or segment does not terminate at the end node of the last line or segment appearing in the path list, repeating step (i) using said deviation line or segment, and (iv) Storing the last line or segment in the path list in said route search list if not already stored. Most preferably, the algorithm used is a shortest path algorithm.

Title: Optical path length sensor and method for optimal absorbance measurements
Inventor: ROBERTSON CHARLES W JR
IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 2009-10-02
Abstract: An apparatus is described in which an op-tical fiber is mounted within a fiber optic holder which in-cludes the non-rotating shaft of a linear actuator. The fiber holder may be held captive in order to restrain the fiber holder and, consequently, the fiber mounted therein, from rotating during operation of the linear actuator, thereby re-sulting in linear travel with minimal rotational effects and minimal change in optical alignment of the fiber during travel. In addition, an optical path length sensor in con-junction with an optimize dabsorbance method of opera-tion is utilized herein to provide micron precision of the displacement between respective receiving and transmis-sion fibers so as to enable precise absorbance measure-ments from about 0.005 up to about 2.0 Absorbance Units for any given path length.
