  • Publication number: 20200284895
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to tracking motion of target in indoor environment. The method includes estimating an initial position of the target in a mesh grid form based on radar data captured from radar devices installed in the indoor environment. For a subsequent target movement, a subsequent position of the target is estimated in the mesh grid form based on the initial position and a resultant velocity vector of the target. A number of outlier grid-points is computed with a threshold number, and based on comparison the outlier grid-points are either replaced with interpolated grid-points or the subsequent position of the target is repaired based on a probable position of the target obtained from at least one of a linear regression based analysis of prior positions of the target, prior knowledge of the target velocity and sampling interval, and a trilateration based technique.

  • Publication number: 20200281220
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to managing ripening conditions of climacteric fruits and more particularly to a system and method for managing ripening conditions of climacteric fruits using Artificial neural network (ANN) model. The method includes obtaining levels of environment condition parameters associated with ripening of the climacteric fruit over time at periodic intervals by using an enclosure enclosing the climacteric fruit. A respiration rate of the climacteric fruit is computed based at least on the levels of the environment condition parameters using Michaelis Menten kinetics model. A level of ethylene is monitored to determine a climacteric peak of Ethylene for the climacteric fruit. The climacteric peak is indicative of complete natural ripening of the climacteric fruit. An ANN model predicts optimal ripening condition of the climacteric fruit based on the respiration rate of the climacteric fruit and the climacteric peak of ethylene.

  • Patent number: 10769614
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. The invention enables the updating, correction or synchronization of transaction data maintained by an Issuer with that stored on the device. This is accomplished by using a wireless (cellular) network as a data communication channel for data provided by an Issuer to the mobile device, and is particularly advantageous in circumstances in which the contactless element is not presently capable of communication with a device reader or point of sale terminal that uses a near field communications mechanism. Data transferred between the mobile device and Issuer may be encrypted and decrypted to provide additional security and protect the data from being accessed by other users or applications.
