This disclosure concerns methods and apparatus for interferometric spectroscopic measurements of particles with higher signal to noise ratio utilizing an infrared light beam that is split into two beams. At least one beam may be directed through a measurement volume containing a sample including a medium. The two beams may then be recombined and measured by a detector. The phase differential between the two beams may be selected to provide destructive interference when no particle is present in the measurement volume. A sample including medium with a particle is introduced to the measurement volume and the detected change resulting from at least one of resonant mid-infrared absorption, non-resonant mid-infrared absorption, and scattering by the particle may be used to determine a property of the particle. A wide range of properties of particles may be determined, wherein the particles may include living cells.

A method for determining a process variable of a product in a tank based on a time delay of electromagnetic waves. The method further comprises forming a measurement signal comprising a sequence of values, each value representing a time correlation between a pulse of a reference signal and a reflected signal, sampling and digitizing this measurement signal to form a digital signal, identifying a time window of the digital signal including the surface echo peak, determining a relative time period between a reference time corresponding to the predefined reference and a beginning of the time window, time-to-frequency transforming the digital signal in the time window to obtain a phase spectrum, determining a relative phase shift of the spectrum and using the relative phase shift to calculate a corresponding time shift, and determining the time delay by adding the relative time period and the time shift.The invention is based on the realization that major improvement of measurement performance, compared to amplitude detection only, can be achieved by discrimination of the phase difference between the reflected signal and a reference. The detection is further independent of the pulse waveform and modulation, significantly reducing the requirements on pulse modulation.

An improved induction tool for formation resistivity evaluations. The tool provides electromagnetic transmitters and sensors suitable for transmitting and receiving magnetic fields in radial directions that are orthogonal to the tool's longitudinal axis with minimal susceptibility to errors associated with parasitic eddy currents induced in the metal components surrounding the transmitter and receiver coils. The present invention provides increased effective tool surface impedance by increasing self-inductance of the paths in which induced eddy currents flow on the surface of the multi-component induction instruments. The tool enables downhole tool designers to build more effective and better-protected radial induction arrays for existing and future downhole instruments operating in the frequency and / or time domains. In this case the array measurement results contain information primarily about the formation's vertical resistivity. The tool makes it possible to combine radial arrays with coaxial arrays that conventionally measure horizontal formation resistivity. This combination enables obtaining a full resistivity tensor to evaluate formation resistivity anisotropy. The tool provides a composite non-conductive housing to reduce or even avoid the effects of parasitic eddy currents flowing on the tool surface. The tool provides a non-magnetic housing that is conductive which reduces the effects of conductive materials near coils and, primarily, the receiver. The tool provides a non-conductive coating is placed over the housing to prevent high frequency eddy currents from leaking from the housing in the conductive mud of the adjacent wellbore and returning to the housing.

An anisotropic conductive sheet for high frequencies is provided as elastomer for connecting high-integrated circuit boards and fine pitch electronic components of recent years. Anisotropic conductive sheet (30) has a sheet-shaped elastomer (1c), and a non-conductive rectangular first penetrating region (11) is formed vertically and horizontally in a state surrounded by the sheet-shaped elastomer (1c). In addition, an electrically-conductive second penetrating region (12) is formed in a rectangular manner in a state surrounded by the first penetrating region (11). The first penetrating region 11 can be a high-dielectric rectangular third penetrating region. The anisotropic conductive sheet (30) has an effect in that electrostatic shield is provided between connected electronic components.

Methods for estimating data-dependent jitter (DDJ) from measured samples of a transmitted data signal include a first exemplary step of obtaining a plurality of measurements (e.g., time tags and event counts for selected pulse widths in the data signal). Such measurements may be obtained at predetermined intervals within a transmitted signal or may be obtained at randomly selected intervals, and should yield measurements for each data pulse in a repeating data pattern. An average unit interval value representative of the average bit time of the transmitted signal is determined. Time interval error estimates representative of the timing deviation from each signal edge's measured value relative to its ideal value (determined in part from the calculated average unit interval value) are also determined, as well as a classification for each measured signal edge relative to a corresponding data pulse in the repeating data pattern. DDJ delta lines are then calculated for signal edges of each pulse width in the transmitted data pattern, from which peak-to-peak DDJ values and / or estimates of duty-cycle-distortion (DCD) can be determined.

Cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy systems and methods for detecting trace gases. When the frequency of laser light approaches the frequency of a resonance cavity mode, the laser begins to fill the cavity to that mode. Optical intensity inside the cavity reflects total cavity loss when the laser light frequency coincides with the cavity mode transmission peak. The intra-cavity optical power also depends on the coupling efficiency of the laser beam to the particular cavity mode. Measurement of intensities of three optical signals, namely, intensity of the light incident on to the cavity, intensity of the light reflected from the cavity, and intensity of the intra-cavity optical power, with their appropriate normalization advantageously significantly reduce effects of baseline calibration and drift as the normalized signal only depends on total cavity loss, and not the coupling efficiency, as in traditional approaches.

The method comprises the following steps of: performing listen before talk (LBT) operation in a predefined time window; if the LBT operation is successful, sending an SSB in the time window; wherein the SSB comprises a synchronization signal SS, or the SSB comprises the SS and a physical broadcast channel PBCH. Compared with the prior art, the method and the apparatus device have the advantages that the time for implementing the LBT by the base station is relaxed, namely, the a base station is allowed to implement the LBT in the a predefined time window, and the SSB is sent after the LBT is successful, so that the data sending efficiency and the access performance of a communication system are remarkably improved.
