19 * There the following conversion is used and should serve as an example here:
21 * The original translation formulae of the temperature (in degrees of Celsius)
22 * to PVT data and vice-versa are following:
24 * N = 1.8322e-8*(T^4) + 2.343e-5*(T^3) + 8.7018e-3*(T^2) + 3.9269*(T^1) +
26 * T = -1.6743e-11*(N^4) + 8.1542e-8*(N^3) + -1.8201e-4*(N^2) +
27 * 3.1020e-1*(N^1) - 4.838e1
29 * where T = [-48.380, 147.438]C and N = [0, 1023].
31 * They must be accordingly altered to be suitable for the integer arithmetics.
32 * The technique is called 'factor redistribution', which just makes sure the
33 * multiplications and divisions are made so to have a result of the operations
34 * within the integer numbers limit. In addition we need to translate the
35 * formulae to accept millidegrees of Celsius. Here what they look like after
38 * N = (18322e-20*(T^4) + 2343e-13*(T^3) + 87018e-9*(T^2) + 39269e-3*T +

87 * Here is the polynomial calculation function, which performs the
88 * redistributed terms calculations. It's pretty straightforward.
89 * We walk over each degree term up to the free one, and perform
90 * the redistributed multiplication of the term coefficient, its
91 * divider (as for the rationale fraction representation), data
92 * power and the rational fraction divider leftover. Then all of
93 * this is collected in a total sum variable, which value is
94 * normalized by the total divider before being returned.
