Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure are directed to sensor apparatuses utilizing a one-piece thermal isolated fitting (TIF) tube and methods of assembling the same. In a particular embodiment, a sensor apparatus includes a one-piece thermal isolated fitting (TIF) tube that includes a cylindrical shaped body portion and a flange at one end of the TIF tube. In this example embodiment, the flange has a top surface that is facing away from the cylindrical shaped body portion and an underside surface that is facing towards the cylindrical shaped body portion.

Abstract: A gas concentration determination system includes an acoustic sensor generating acoustic sensor data and a humidity sensor generating relative humidity data. A modified relative humidity is determined based at least in part on the acoustic sensor data and the relative humidity data. A gas concentration is determined using the modified relative humidity and the acoustic data. Using the modified relative humidity instead of the relative humidity data may reduce false positives in detecting gas leaks in HVAC systems, for example.

Abstract: A transmitter (14) of audio, video, or other real-time information reads the information from a persistent store (22) in which the real-time information has been stored in the Real-time-Transport Protocol (“RTP”) format (FIG. 4). A receiver (18) receives the information from the channel (16) through which the transmitter (14) has transmitted it, and the receiver may store the information in a persistent store (24) in RTP format instead of or in addition to playing it by applying it to an appropriate player (20). Parts of this communications circuit may be tested by a tester unit (26) that also employs RTP-format information from a persistent store (22).

Abstract: A connector having a cylindrical hollow body having a first, closed end and a second, open end. A first external thread extends from the first end toward the second end and a second external thread extends from the second end toward the first end. Additionally, a contact element extends concentrically from the closed first end of the hollow body.

Abstract: A system for sensing speed of other vehicles without the use of radar or laser is presented. It uses interferometric techniques to passively compute another vehicle's speed. It would be useful for law enforcement officials to detect speed violators without speed violators radar or laser detectors providing any warning. The system uses two moving vehicles each equipped with a GPS receiver, data radio, tachometer, user input device and onboard laptop computer. Each window on the vehicle would be taped with two cross-hairs define the acceptable zone where the lead vehicle can start (and trail vehicle may end) the clocking procedure.
