Abstract: A contact monitoring means for monitoring an electrical, three-pole changeover contact includes: a signal generator, which generates a monitoring signal; a coupling means, which is connected downstream from the signal generator; a sensing circuit, which is connected downstream from the coupling means and which is coupled or can be coupled to the changeover contact. The monitoring signal generation of the signal generator and thus the monitoring signal and/or a signal derived from the monitoring signal can be changed as a function of a switching position of the changeover contact by means of the sensing circuit, which is coupled to the signal generator via the coupling means. The contact monitoring means also includes an evaluation means, which detects the monitoring signal and/or the signal derived from the monitoring signal and/or a change of the monitoring signal and/or a change of the signal derived from the monitoring signal.

Abstract: A local dimming system for a head up display (HUD) according to the present invention comprises a light array, a Fresnel lens array, a lenticular lens system, and a liquid crystal display (LCD). The Fresnel lens array is operatively associated with the light array to provide a collimated backlight output to produce an image on the LCD.

Abstract: A position fix identifying a geographic location of a receiver is received. The position fix was generated using signals received at the receiver from respective high-altitude signal sources (such as satellites). Imagery of a geographic area that includes the geographic location is also received. The imagery is automatically processed to determine whether one or more of the high-altitude signal sources were occluded from the geographic location when the position fix was generated. In response to determining that one or more of the high-altitude signal sources were occluded from the geographic location when the position fix was generated, the position fix is identified as being potentially erroneous.

Abstract: Examples of amplifier circuitry regulate a transconductance value (Gm) of operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) in the amplifier to be approximately the same, which value is based on a supply voltage and a reference voltage applied to a reference OTA and the internal resistance of the reference OTA. The reference OTA generates an output current based on Gm and the reference voltage, which current is compared to current generated by the supply voltage and internal resistance of the reference OTA. A tail current transistor of each of the reference OTA and a main OTA that mirrors the Gm of the reference OTA provide a tail current feedback path by which Gm is regulated. Amplifying circuitry is coupled to the main OTA to receive current signals. Based on the received current signals, amplifying circuitry generates a differential output voltage signal. The gain of the amplifying circuitry is proportional to the supply voltage and remains relatively constant across process temperature variations.

Abstract: The invention discloses an UWB NLOS signal recognition method based on the first path of CIR, including constructing a UWB ranging system comprising tags and anchors. The system controls communication between the anchor and tag, processes the raw CIR data obtained from each communication to construct data samples, and labels these samples to build a raw CIR dataset. Peak filtering is then performed on the CIR waveforms in the raw CIR dataset to identify the first path peak points of the data samples. Based on the first path peak points, valid data is determined as new data samples, and one-hot encoding is applied to the data labels. A training dataset is constructed using all new data samples and their corresponding data labels. A machine learning model is then developed and trained using the training dataset, and the trained model is saved for identifying unknown CIR signals.
