Using at least the status of the target user and the one or more properties of the alert, the alert is presented on the target device according to a determined delay from a first time period during which the alert would normally be presented to a second, later time period.

Abstract: An assembly including a capacitive height sensor and a conditioning circuit. The capacitive height sensor detects capacitance between a read/write head and a disk surface to monitor variances in a flying height. To bring about a measurement voltage between the capacitive height sensor and the disk surface, the conditioning circuit supplies a drive current to the capacitive height sensor. The conditioning circuit ceases flowing the drive current to the capacitive height sensor upon detecting that the measurement voltage is greater than a high threshold, and commences flowing the drive current to the capacitive height sensor upon detecting that the measurement voltage is less than a low threshold.

Abstract: A method and system for Proactive Loss Prevention (PLP) System in venue and retail using wireless-based technology. Physical security measures are the first line of defense for protecting assets in any venue and retail spaces.

Abstract: Ultra-wideband (UWB) tags can be used as part of a high-resolution motion capture system that may not require a cost or a complexity that is typically associated with visually based motion capture systems. The UWB based motion capture uses a bundle of UWB tags, which in a possible implementation, can be affixed to body parts of a user to sense motion of the body parts. The absolute positions of each UWB tag can then be determined by reconstructing a skeletal topology from a Euclidean distance matrix based on inter-tag ranging measurements using handshake signals of a UWB protocol.
