  • Publication number: 20250297986
    Abstract: A method for determining gas concentrations using a gas sensor configured to analyze a gas sample containing oxygen and a binary background gas. The method includes determining calibration ranges for each gas component of a binary background gas, receiving first and second voltage outputs corresponding to the oxygen and the background gas, and verifying that the voltage outputs fall within the calibration range. A first ratio is computed based on differences between the first voltage output and calibration voltages for the oxygen in the first and second gas components. Similarly, a second ratio is computed based on the second voltage output. The concentration of oxygen in the gas sample is determined by solving an equation equating the first and second ratios. The concentrations of the first and second gas components are then determined from the oxygen concentration and the computed ratios. The determined gas concentrations are subsequently provided as output.

  • Patent number: 11916613
    Abstract: The present technology provides solutions that enable accurate measuring of frequency response on a network (e.g., cable network, fiber optic network) through frequency sweep testing. In various embodiments, the present technology provides a remote transmitter test unit that can be physically deployed at various points in a network. The present technology provides for on demand sweep testing. A remote transmitter test unit or headend test unit can periodically transmit a query message and, based on a response to the query message, can initiate a sweep test. The present technology provides for automatic generation of a sweep profile for a sweep test. Based on an analysis of a frequency spectrum on a network, the sweep profile provides parameters for conducting a sweep test. The present technology provides for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) table generation and OFDM sweep testing.
