  • Ultrasonic fill level device and method
    Patent number: 6925870
    Abstract: A fluid level monitoring system 20 includes an ultrasonic interrogation device 30 acoustically coupled to a sidewall 25 of container 22 and produces ultrasound that travels through the liquid 24 along a transverse path 32 and an inclined path 34. The liquid level is determined by calculating the times-of-flight for the received return signals, where the return signal along the inclined path 34 reflects from the intersection 27 of the liquid level 28 and a sidewall 23. The device 30 can be a multi-element transducer having a plurality of transducer elements at different angular orientations in a common housing.

  • Method for generating analyses of categorical data
    Patent number: 6714897
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a conversion or representation of categorical data was created that allows a significant number of exploratory multivariate analysis methods to be brought to bear on categorical data. Whereas previously, each response to a question might have been modeled as an outcome from a multinomial probability distribution; according to the present invention each response is represented as an actual discrete probability distribution with all its mass in one cell. With this interpretation or conversion, the vector of measurements for each individual can be viewed as a member of the linear space that includes vectors of probability distributions.
