Abstract: A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

The tracking device determines new pressure measurements of the asset. Based on the new pressure measurements, the tracking device enters a passive mode of operation. When operating in the passive mode of operation, no data is transmitted or received from/to the tracking device to/from the management server.

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.

Abstract: The co-linear or near co-linear structure of bimetallic Janus-type two-coordinated metal complexes may allow for a large transition dipole moment that can enhance the radiative lifetime. The symmetric nature of the bimetallic Janus complexes diminishes or eliminates the polar nature of the monometallic carbene-metal-amide/arene complexes.

Abstract: UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.

Abstract: An electronic device has pair(s) of conductive plates that is coupled to a housing and is electrically isolated by a dielectric material. The pair(s) of conductive plates is positioned to change relative orientation in relation to mechanical force that deforms the housing. Capacitive driver(s) is electrically coupled to pair(s) of conductive plates. A controller is communicatively coupled to the capacitive driver(s). The controller identifies a first capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates associated with the housing being in a normal state. The controller detects, via the capacitor driver(s), a change in capacitance from the first capacitance to a second capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates. The controller compares the change in capacitance to a threshold. In response to the change exceeding the threshold, the controller generates a notification.

Abstract: An alarm screen comprises a frame comprising a laser sensor, a processing unit, and a wireless transmitter embedded in a hollow interior. The frame comprises an opening for the laser sensor to project a laser beam outside of the alarm screen. The laser sensor projects the beam through the opening, makes a set of one or more measurements of a distance between the laser sensor and an object in a path of the laser beam, and sends the set of measurements to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to compare the distance measurements received from the laser sensor with a threshold distance detect, and send one or more signals to the wireless transmitter when at least one of the distance measurements received from the laser sensor exceeds the threshold. The wireless transmitter is configured to receive signals from the processing unit and wirelessly transmit the signals.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for diagnosing faults in a vehicle using multiple audio sensors. The audio sensors are placed in predetermined locations within the vehicle. The audio sensors continually detect sound signals being originated from components of the vehicle. The audio sensors process detected sound signals to remove unwanted noise from the detected sound signals. The audio sensors compare processed sounds signals with reference sound signals to identify one or more faulty components. Each reference sound signal is associated with a particular fault. The audio sensors transmit information associated with the one or more faulty components to an analyst computer. An interactive graphical user interface of the analyst computer may present the information to an analyst.
