 * to PVT data and vice-versa are following:
 *
 * N = 1.8322e-8*(T^4) + 2.343e-5*(T^3) + 8.7018e-3*(T^2) + 3.9269*(T^1) + 1.7204e2

 *
 * where T = [-48.380, 147.438]C and N = [0, 1023].
 *
 * They must be accordingly altered to be suitable for the integer arithmetics.

 * multiplications and divisions are made so to have a result of the operations
 * within the integer numbers limit. In addition we need to translate the
 * formulae to accept millidegrees of Celsius. Here what they look like after
 * the alterations:
 *
