Abstract: A wearable medical device (e.g., wearable drug delivery pump) sends a request to another device for generation of an audible or vibratory notification at the other device, which is helpful when the wearable medical device is obscured by a user's clothing or the user is vision or hearing impaired. The other device receiving the request to generate a notification can be a remote controller or smartphone paired with the wearable medical device, or a smart watch or a Bluetooth (BT)-enabled headset or other device paired with the remote controller. The wearable medical device is configured with a BT stack that allows the device to pair with its controller in a secure bonded relationship, but to send signals requiring less security (e.g., requests for generation of notifications) to other devices (e.g., a BT-enabled headset or smart watch) using a more ubiquitous wireless protocol such as a standard BT protocol with broadcast mode.

Abstract: A method for improving the estimation of an existence probability of objects. The objects are detected using sensors installed in a vehicle and/or an infrastructure component. Each tracker of a sensor and/or a sensor group estimates a status of an object and its existence probability using a detection probability model. The detected objects are merged in a fusion list, and each object is assigned a state and an existence probability. Each object of the fusion list is assigned existence probabilities. Each object of the fusion list is assigned additional information indicating which sensor and/or which sensor group has/have detected the respective object in the last measuring cycle. At least sensor-specific and/or sensor-group-specific existence probabilities of fused existence probabilities and the sensor detection probability are compared in a crosscheck, and false negative cases and false positive cases are ascertained for each sensor and/or sensor groups.

Abstract: A system for remotely retrieving sensed conditions at one or more building components. The building components are remote or numerous so that a wireless collection of the sensed conditions provides a significant benefit to a builder or building operator. A remote transceiver sends a wireless signal to a building component. The building component includes an onboard transceiver. At least some of the energy from the transmitted wireless signal is received by the onboard transceiver, sent to a storage device, and stored therein. The stored energy is used to operate a sensor for sensing an onboard condition. The onboard condition is then wirelessly transmitted by the onboard transceiver back to the remote transceiver to be displayed.
