Abstract: Capacitances are measured for a level measurement capacitive sensor (18) spanning from a lower end to a higher end of a fluid level measurement range (30), a first capacitive calibration sensor (20) below the fluid level measurement range (30), and a second capacitive calibration sensor (22) above the fluid level measurement range (30). A degree to which the lower end of the fluid level measurement range (30) is immersed in a first fluid and the upper end of the fluid level measurement range (30) is immersed in a second fluid is determined based on a capacitance of the level measurement capacitive sensor (18), a first calibration value characterizing the first fluid and derived from a capacitance of the first capacitive calibration sensor (20), and a second calibration value characterizing the second fluid and derived from a capacitance of the second capacitive calibration sensor (22).

Abstract: A static schedule is selected from a set of static schedules for an application dependent on the state of the application. A scheduling system stores a set of pre-defined static schedules for each state of the application. A scheduling system learns the costs of predefined schedules for each state of the application on-line as the application executes. Upon the detection of a state change in the application during run-time, the scheduling system selects a new static schedule for the application. The new static schedule is determined based on schedule costs and exploration criteria.
