  • Publication number: 20170227392
    Abstract: A level sensing apparatus (110) for attachment to a sounding tube to measure levels of content in a tank. The level sensing apparatus includes a housing (16) for enclosing components of the level sensing apparatus (20). These components include a transmitter and an antenna (18) operatively connected to the transmitter for directing electrical or mechanical waves in a direction away from the transmitter. The antenna is adapted to also receive electrical and mechanical waves. The apparatus further includes a sounding tube adaptor (32) sized for attachment to a sounding tube, and a connector assembly operatively attaching the housing to the sounding tube adaptor. The connector assembly enabling the housing to rotate relative to the sounding tube adaptor about a horizontal axis to expose an open end of the sounding tube. In use, the level sensing apparatus allows for pulse radar measurement of liquid levels in the tank.

  • Publication number: 20170150460
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a device and method of aligning a transmission frame in a Time Division Duplexing network, wherein the transmission frame includes a sequence of units separated by transition points, wherein each unit includes one or more resource slots in a transmission direction, the method comprising: allocating a transmit power level to a plurality of resource slots in a unit, wherein a transmit power for a first resource slot of the plurality of resource slots is greater than the transmit power for a second resource slot of the plurality of resource slots; measuring the transmit power of a TDD transmission received from an external node to determine a peak transmit power of the received TDD transmission; and substantially aligning the first resource slot to coincide with the peak transmit power of the received TDD transmission.

  • Publication number: 20170131496
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes a cable core of core elements and a protective sheath surrounding the core elements, an armor surrounding the cable core, the armor comprising a single overlap portion when the fiber optic cable is viewed in cross-section, and a jacket surrounding the armor, the jacket having at least two longitudinal discontinuities extruded therein. A method of accessing the cable core without the use of ripcords includes removing a portion of the armor in an access section by pulling the minor away from the cable core so that an overlap portion separates around the cable core as it is being pulled past the cable core. A protective sheath protects the core elements as the armor is being pulled around the cable core.

  • Patent number: 9431902
    Abstract: A device and method for sensing an inductor current in an inductor is provided that generates a voltage signal proportionate to the inductor current if the inductor is connected to a positive supply and simulates the inductor current if the inductor is not connected to the positive supply. The voltage signal may be generated by sampling an input voltage from the inductor onto a capacitor if the inductor is connected to the positive supply. The inductor current may be simulated by generating a simulation current and pushing the simulation current onto the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20160168638
    Abstract: Methods for predicting the development of sepsis in a subject at risk for developing sepsis are provided. In one method, features in a biomarker profile of the subject are evaluated. The subject is likely to develop sepsis if these features satisfy a particular value set. Methods for predicting the development of a stage of sepsis in a subject at risk for developing a stage of sepsis are provided. In one method, a plurality of features in a biomarker profile of the subject is evaluated. The subject is likely to have the stage of sepsis if these feature values satisfy a particular value set. Methods of diagnosing sepsis in a subject are provided. In one such method, a plurality of features in a biomarker profile of the subject is evaluated. The subject is likely to develop sepsis when the plurality of features satisfies a particular value set.
