  • Micro-movement and gesture detection using radar
    Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.

  • Method for protecting data in media recording peripheral devices
    Patent number: 5568608
    Abstract: A method for minimizing the loss of data within a data buffer of a peripheral device connected to a host computer upon detection of an error. The peripheral device detects the error condition and terminates the presently executing command. The peripheral device suspends internal operations upon detection of the error and notifies the host computer of the suspension of operations. Operations may continue when the host computer issues a priority abort command to the peripheral device to remove it from the suspended state.
