  • Publication number: 20240077417
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor which detects the concentration of gas with a simple structure and method by manufacturing an optical waveguide with a gas-permeable polymer material instead of a conventional cavity or chamber type. An optical signal travels through the optical waveguide of gas-permeable polymer by total internal reflection, and the gas naturally penetrates the optical waveguide without the use of separate inlet and outlet openings, so that the optical signal and gas particles come into contact with each other within the optical waveguide. Since the optical signal detected by a photodetector at the other end of the optical waveguide after traveling while contacting the gas particles has properties changed according to the concentration of the gas which they have contacted in the optical waveguide, it is possible to measure the concentration of a specific gas from the detected optical signal.

  • Patent number: 8208566
    Abstract: A transmission/reception apparatus and method for reducing the amount of feedback information transmitted from a receiver in a multi-user MIMO system are provided. A transmitter determines a reference Channel Quality Information (CQI) and transmits the reference CQI to the receiver. Upon receipt of the reference CQI, the receiver compares the received reference CQI with a CQI of a stream received from the transmitter, sets a channel, over which the stream is received, to at least one of Activation and Inactivation, according to the comparison result, and transmits the set channel information to the transmitter. As a result, the receiver, even though it receives multiple streams from the transmitter, transmits to the transmitter the at least one of Activation and Inactivation information of the channel separately for each individual stream, thereby contributing to a reduction in the total amount of feedback information.
