摘要： A fluid dispensing device for dispensing a fluid form medicament formulation having a viscosity of from 10 to 2000 mPa·s. is disclosed and comprises a housing and a fluid discharge device. The fluid discharge device is arranged to be actuated by one or more levers so as to apply a force to the fluid discharge device which is used to move a container forming part of the fluid discharge device along a longitudinal axis of the fluid discharge device to cause actuation of a pump forming part of the fluid discharge device. A pre-load means is used to prevent actuation of the pump until a pre-determined force is applied to each lever of sufficient magnitude to guarantee the production of a well developed efficient spray from the fluid dispensing device.

摘要： A method and system for dynamically tracking the location of mobile nodes (104, 106, 108, 110n) in a wireless network (102) is disclosed. The method comprises: for each mobile node, dynamically measuring the range between the mobile node and at least one neighboring node (step 202); and executing a Bayesian tracking algorithm for each mobile node (step 204). The algorithm has the measured range as an input, exchanges data with tracking algorithms for neighboring mobile nodes, and utilizes a statistical model of error in measured range and a statistical model of node motion to dynamically determine location.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of measuring time of arrival of a signal transmitted from a transmitter (120) to reciever (110-n). The method comprises: modulating a plurality of narrowband signal portions onto different carrier frequencies; transmitting by the transmitter, each modulated signal portion to the receiver; receiving, by the receiver, the transmitted signal portions; estimating the channel impulse response by combining (610) the received signal portions; and measuring (620) the time of arrival using the estimated channel impulse response. Further disclosed is a method of measuring a time of arrival of a signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. The method comprises: estimating a noise level (1310) in an impulse response of a channel between the transmitter and the receiver; finding a first peak (1330) in the channel impulse response that is not noise or a side lobe of a subsequent peak, using the estimated noise level; and measuring the time of arrival (1220) using the first peak.
