Abstract: An ultra-wideband sensor transmits impulse radio signals over a predetermined time period, detects echo signals of the impulse radio signals by way of at least one sensor of the ultra-wideband sensor and generates a time-variant channel impulse response that describes the echo signals received by the at least one sensor as a function of a time at which the respective impulse radio signal of the predetermined time period was transmitted and a path delay, uses a predetermined selection method to ascertain at least one ascertained path delay, generates a signal characteristic of the time-variant channel impulse response for the at least one ascertained path delay, uses a predetermined comparison method to determine a similarity of the signal characteristic to a reference characteristic, and detects a predetermined movement pattern associated with the reference characteristic if the similarity meets a predetermined similarity criterion.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to receive a request for result data from a requestor and determine queries to create the result data. The processor may determine a subset of a data set based on the queries. The subset of the data set may be displayed in small multiples by the requestor. The processor may output the subset of the data set as the result data to the requestor. In some examples, the processor may receive a request for additional result data from the requestor. The processor may determine a second subset of the data set to be displayed in the small multiples and output the second subset of the data set as the additional result data to the requestor.
