Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the determination of a condition or state of an object based on quasi-elastic interaction between the object and light transmitted to the object, the apparatus comprising a diffractive optical element having a diffracting region comprising a first diffracting structure for diffraction and focussing of a first light beam to the object, and a second diffracting structure that is laterally displaced relative to the first diffracting structure for diffraction and focussing of a second light beam to the object. The first and second diffracting structures focus the first and second light beams in the same focussing plane, the focussing plane being substantially perpendicular to propagation directions of the first and second light beams. The diffracting region further comprises a receiving diffracting structure for diffraction of light from the light beams that has interacted with the object. The diffracted light is diffracted in a diffraction angle. The size of the diffraction angle is substantially equal to the angle of incidence of the incoming light beam.

Abstract: A method determines a fluid pressure at a fluid flow meter installed in a pipe network that is supplied with fluid at a varying and/or variable input pressure. The method includes recording input pressure information for a determination of a difference between input pressures in a first considered time-window and second considered time-window, aggregating statistical data of a plurality of fluid flow events and/or fluid volume consumption events during the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window, providing the aggregated statistical data to a head-end system (HES) that has access to the input pressure information and determining, by the head-end system, a fluid pressure at the fluid flow meter based on a change in the aggregated statistical data between the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window, and the difference between the input pressures in the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window.

Abstract: A method provides link management for wireless communication between measuring devices (7), installed to measure or detect a value at a utility installation, and a collection unit (5), collecting data from the measuring devices. Uplink data frames are sent from a measuring device to the data collection unit. Some of the uplink data frames are provide a time-limited access opportunity (AO) for receiving downlink frames from the data collection unit. A counter value (FC) in the measuring device is updated by adjusting the counter value for each non-used or unsuccessfully used access opportunity. An urgency indicator is transmitted to the data collection unit by at least some of the uplink data frames that provide an access opportunity. The urgency indicator depends on the counter value. Downlink frames are sent from the data collection unit to the measuring device according to a prioritization scheme, based on the urgency indicator.

Abstract: An automatic reading system (ARS—1) determines values at a plurality of distributed installation locations and communicates data containing said values via a low power wide area Network (LPWAN) to a head-end-system (HES—3). The ARS includes the HES and battery-powered stationary measuring devices (7), configured to be installed at an installation location and to determine said values at the installation location. The measuring devices include an LPWAN connection module to establish a wireless values communication connection via the LPWAN to the HES. A mobile installation device (13) includes a short-range connection module establishing a communication connection (15) and sending candidate information to measuring devices about to be installed at the installation location. The LPWAN connection module attempts to establish for the first time at the one of the installation locations a handshaked LPWAN connection to the LPWAN based on the received LPWAN connection candidate information.

Abstract: A method for replacing an existing key derivation key in a utility meter arranged in a meter communication infrastructure in a secure way. The method provide a secure mechanism for exchange of symmetric keys without the need for transferring keys across the meter communication infrastructure. From the head-end system to the utility meter is transmitted a command data message comprising a request for replacing the existing key derivation key with the new key derivation key, the key-generation information and a activation key or an authentication code calculated based on the activation key. The utility meter receiving the command data message is arranged to derive the new key derivation key based on a copy of a disaster recovery key stored in the utility meter and on the key-generation information comprised in the received command data message. Further, the utility meter is arranged for deriving a activation key from the new key derivation key. The activation key is used for verifying the command data message. If the command data message is verified the existing key derivation key is replaced by a new key derivation key.
