Title: Method and system for gas detection
Inventor: SAGBERG HA KON
IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 2011-12-05
Abstract: A gas sensor for determining a concentration of a predetermined gas in a measurement volume E comprises light source C and detector J to receive light passed through the measurement volume. During a first measurement period, the detector makes a first measurement of an amount of light received in at least one wavelength band absorbed by the gas. The first measurement is compared to a predetermined threshold value. If the threshold is crossed, during a second measurement period the detector makes a second measurement of an amount of light received in at least one wavelength band absorbed by the gas. Gas concentration is calculated using the first and/or second measurement. A sampling rate, the light intensity or emitting surface area of the light source may be varied between first and second measurement periods. A further embodiment specifies a wireless sensor and the second measurement using a greater amount of light than the first.

Title: Measurement reporting for mobility procedures
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2012-10-29
Abstract: A mobile terminal provides measurement reports containing details of frequency layers associated with one or more cells within range. To enable the measurement reports to be transmitted in a more timely basis they may be generated and transmitted without first having initiated a cell reselection process. As such, a network entity, such as a radio network controller (RNC), may provide increased control in relation to the mobility procedure, such as cell redirection or handover, based at least in part upon the measurement result. From the perspective of a mobile terminal, one method includes receiving instructions to perform a cell update procedure based upon a new measurement. In response to obtaining the new measurement, the method also includes causing the cell update procedure to be triggered. In this regard, the cell update procedure includes provision of a cell update message that includes measurement results.

Title: Using resistance equivalent to estimate temperature of a fuel-njector heater
Inventor: CZIMMEK PERRY ROBERT
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2013-02-25
Abstract: A temperature of the heater 110 of a fuel-injector is determined for control and monitoring. The heater driver, upon receipt of a turn-on signal, generates a current within a component of a heated fuel injector, which generates an appropriate loss to generate heat for a variable spray fuel injection system. The heater driver regulates the energy to the heated component based on the electrical resistance of that component as a function of temperature and a predetermined reference value for that temperature. A voltage equivalent heater resistance 112 is determined by dividing (at 113) the voltage drop across the heater by the measured electrical current through the heater. The voltage drop may be measured using a pair of Kelvin connections 104-2. The current may be measured using a current sense resistor 122.

Title: Entropy modifier and method
Inventor: KALEVO OSSI
IPC: H03M7/46
Filed: 2013-03-01
Abstract: An entropy modifier 10, 60 encodes, and alternatively decodes, a stream of input data bits having a first entropy, generating corresponding modified output data having a second entropy. The entropy modifier (converter) which may be a pre-processor or post-processor for encoding 20 or decoding 50 stages - processes the stream of input data bits to handle groups of mutually similar bits (runs) and the value of a first (initial) bit, and one or more maximum run lengths of the groups of mutually similar bits, i.e. analogous to Run-Length Encoding (RLE) methods. The entropy modifier may control one or more maximum run lengths by using escape code(s), e.g. a code such as 0 used to denote a run of 3; maximum run length may be dynamically varied. A first, starting bit in the stream can be handled separately from other bits. Stream parts may be separately coded, in parallel. ODelta, RLE, Variable Length (VLC), Huffman, Delta or Arithmetic coding may be employed in conjunction with the initial / final entropy-changing processing.
