  • Patent number: 10976279
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for identifying the concentration of an electrolyte. A method may comprise scanning a working electrode of an electrochemical sensor using cyclic voltammetry at a plurality of electrolyte concentrations; generating a variable set of readings from the first cyclic voltammetry scan using a potential difference between a hydrogen adsorption peak and a Pt-Oxide reduction peak at each of the plurality of electrolyte concentrations; and determining a correlation by plotting the variable set of readings and the plurality of electrolyte concentrations. In some embodiments, the method may comprise scanning a working electrode of a second electrochemical sensor using cyclic voltammetry, wherein the second electrochemical sensor has been employed; generating a second set of readings; and determining the electrolyte concentration of the electrolyte of the second electrochemical sensor by applying the determined correlation to the second set of readings.

  • Publication number: 20060009176
    Abstract: A diversity switch combiner for use in systems for receiving wideband signals is arranged to split the received signal into separate channels each carrying a respective frequency band. Respective switch means are provided for each channel in order to switch the input of each channel between different antennas. A switch control determines the switch setting in accordance with the result of a comparison operation, preferably performed during a guard period, in which the signal qualities for different settings are compared.

  • Patent number: 6891516
    Abstract: A multifilar antenna comprises n spaced antenna filaments, where n is an integer greater than 1; a matching circuit for matching the characteristic impedance of the antenna to that of a transmitting and/or receiving apparatus; a weighting circuit for applying gain and phase adjustments to signals passed to or from the n filaments; switch means associated with at least some of the filaments for selectively altering the electrical length and/or interconnections for the filaments; means for detecting electrical properties of the multifilar antenna with respect to the frequency, polarization and/or direction of propagation of a signal to be received or transmitted by the multifilar antenna and/or impedance matching of the antenna; and control means, responsive to the detecting means, for controlling the operation of the matching circuit, the weighting circuit and the switch means to adjust the properties of the multifilar antenna to suit better a current signal to be received or transmitted.
