Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a cloud-based computer system, motion data from a remote motion detection system configured to detect motion in a space. The motion data is derived from wireless signals communicated through the space by the wireless communication devices. A motion classifier is applied to the motion data by the cloud-based computer system to detect an occurrence of a first predefined motion event in the space. A subset of the third party entities that have registered for notifications associated with the first predefined motion event is identified based on reference to a database. Notifications are generated addressed to the subset of the third party entities. Each notification includes an indication that the first predefined motion event was detected and additional information describing the occurrence of the first predefined motion event. The notifications are then sent to the subset of the third party entities.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining motion data at a wireless communication device in a motion detection system. The motion data is derived from wireless signals communicated through the space by the wireless communication devices. Over a training period, the motion data is provided to a cloud-based computer system. A motion pattern detection function is received from the cloud based computer system. The motion pattern detection function corresponding to a motion event that occurred in the space during the training period. after the training period, additional motion data is obtained at the wireless communication device. The motion pattern detection function is applied to the additional motion data to detect an occurrence of the motion event in the space. A message that includes an indication of that the motion event was detected is sent from the wireless communication device to the cloud-based computer system.

Abstract: A vortex generator system has at least two vortex generators protrudable from an outer mold line of a vehicle surface at a location upstream of a cavity leading edge of a cavity in the vehicle surface. The vortex generators are spaced apart from each other and oriented such that the vortex generator aft ends are nearer to each than the vortex generator forward ends. The vortex generator lengthwise direction of each one of the vortex generators is oriented at a vortex generator directional angle relative to a direction of an airflow. The vortex generators are configured to generate a pair of counter-rotating vortices when the airflow passes over through or over the vortex generators. The counter-rotating vortices interact to produce a downwash of air away from the cavity that urges the store away from the vehicle as the store exits the cavity.

Abstract: A balancing system for different compressors utilizes a counterweight having a common exterior configuration. The mass of the counterweight is optimized for each compressor by changing the size of a recess located in the counterweight. In one embodiment, the recess is an arcuately shaped recess; and in another embodiment, the recess is a plurality of holes.

Abstract: A method of processing electric arc furnace dust includes the steps of preheating a portion of electric arc furnace dust to a temperature of at least 170 degrees centigrade by convection heating to form a preheated dust. The preheated dust is further heated by microwaves until a zinc in the preheat dust vaporizes to form a metal vapor and a residue. The metal vapor is then condensed.
