Title: Distributed sensing in an optical fiber using brillouin scattering
Inventor: HARTOG ARTHUR H
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: To perform distributed sensing with an optical fiber using Brillouin scattering, a light pulse is transmitted into the optical fiber, where the transmitted light pulse has a first frequency. Backscattered light and optical local oscillator light are combined, where the backscattered light is received from the optical fiber in response to the transmitted light pulse, and where the optical local oscillator light has a second frequency. A frequency offset is caused to be present between the first frequency of the transmitted light pulse and the second frequency of the optical local oscillator light, where the frequency offset is at least 1 GHz less than a Brillouin frequency shift of the backscattered light. Spectra representing Stokes and anti Stokes components of the backscattered light are acquired, where the Stokes and anti Stokes components are separated by a frequency span that is based on the frequency offset.

Title: Generating portal navigational elements based on a users authentication level
Inventor: FALKENBERG MATTHIAS
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2010-01-12
Abstract: A request for a portal view (402, fig 4) is received from a client (502, fig 5) and the client's permission level determines (106) the set of resources available to the client, preferably by filtering out resources from a a portal resource set that do not correspond to the permission level. The client user's authentication level is also determined and viewable resources, from the set of available resources, are determined based on the authentication level (110), the viewable resources being portal level resources. Portal view code is generated and transmitted to the client for rendering (112), including code for displayable navigation elements corresponding to the viewable resources. When the portal view code is rendered by the client, no interface elements exist for viewable resources for which the authorisation level - either the permission or the authentication level - was insufficient. The viewable resources may be determined based on a visibility depth parameter - possibly associated with the user and possibly based on a context of the client - in addition to the authentication level.

Title: Temperature control apparatus and method
Inventor: WILLIAMS BARRY
IPC: F25D1/00
Filed: 2011-06-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for temperature control has a first temperature sensor 7 provided outside a temperature sensitive space 1, an airflow conduit 8 for connecting the interior of the temperature sensitive space to the outside of the temperature sensitive space and an air chiller 6 for generating chilled air within the temperature sensitive space. A fan 4 for drawing air from the outside into the temperature sensitive space through the conduit, has an associated control unit 5 for switching the air chiller off and allowing air flow along the conduit when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor is equal to or less than a first predetermined temperature. The air flow can be fan controlled or it can be controlled by a valve arrangement (10 fig 2) which permits flow or blocks the conduit airflow path. The arrangement may also include a second temperature sensor 9 for measuring temperature in the temperature sensitive space, which may be a beer cellar. The arrangement provides energy saving by permitting cold ambient air to be delivered to the temperature sensitive space, when the ambient air is cold enough to cool the space, allowing the chiller to be turned off.
