1. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT DEVICE
An exhaust temperature measurement device (30) is provided with a first exhaust temperature output unit (31), a second exhaust temperature output unit (32), an over-correction determination unit (33a), and a parameter-setting unit (34). The first exhaust temperature output unit outputs an uncorrected value corresponding to the output of a temperature sensor. The second exhaust temperature output unit outputs a corrected value on the basis of a response-delay model. The over-correction determination unit determines whether the corrected value has been over-corrected or not, on the basis of the uncorrected value and the corrected value. The parameter-setting unit changes the parameters for the response-delay model on the basis of the determination results from the over-correction determination unit. As a result, it is possible to favorably correct (compensate for) the response delay of the temperature sensor.

6. TIME-DOMAIN INTEGRATED TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A time-domain integrated temperature sensor, which uses a shaped clock signal to control the charging time of a capacitor, so that the capacitor generates a charging time delay signal which is relevant to an input clock cycle.

Therefore, the same input clock signal is used to quantify the pulse width of the pulse signal, and the correlation between the obtained quantification result and the input clock cycle is completely offset, namely, an output value of the temperature sensor is irrelevant to an input clock signal cycle, thereby solving the problem that the existing time-domain integrated temperature sensor has ...

A method for determining waveguide temperature for at least one waveguide of a transceiver utilized for generating a temperature map. The transceiver generates an acoustic signal that travels through a measurement space in a hot gas flow path defined by a wall such as in a combustor. The method includes calculating a total time of flight for the acoustic signal and subtracting a waveguide travel time from the total time of flight to obtain a measurement space travel time. A temperature map is calculated based on the measurement space travel time. An estimated wall temperature is obtained from the temperature map. An estimated waveguide temperature is then calculated based on the estimated wall temperature wherein the estimated waveguide temperature is determined without the use of a temperature sensing device.

To determine a thermodynamic model, temperature information when the HVAC system operates in a first state may first be received. A response interval may then be determined where the response interval indicates an estimated time between when the HVAC system begins operating in the first state and when the temperature within the enclosure begins to change in a direction associated with the first state. Weighting factors corresponding to basis functions may then be determined, where the weighted basis functions characterize the temperature trajectory of the enclosure in response to the HVAC system operating in the first state. The basis functions may include a first basis function that is evaluated from a time that the HVAC system begins operating in the first state until a time when the response interval ends, and a second basis function that is ...
