  • Publication number: 20240000376
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method of operating a motion detection system includes receiving, by operation of one or more communication interfaces, radio frequency wireless signals communicated by a plurality of wireless communication devices. The radio frequency wireless signals are processed to generate channel information. By operation of a motion detection engine of the motion detection system, generating motion data based on the channel information that includes a series of vectors in a series of time points within the time period. The motion data includes motion indicator values indicative of a degree of motion that occurred in the space and motion localization values for a plurality of locations. Processing the series of vectors includes determining an aggregate degree of motion that occurred at each of the individual locations during the time period and determining a duration of activity that occurred at each of the individual locations during the time period.

  • Publication number: 20220287629
    Abstract: In a general aspect, metrics of interest are generated based on motion data and displayed. In some aspects, a method includes obtaining channel information based on wireless signals communicated through a space over a time period by a wireless communication network. The space includes a plurality of locations. The method includes generating motion data based on the channel information. The motion data includes motion indicator values and motion localization values for the plurality of locations. The method further includes identifying, based on the motion data, an actual value for a metric of interest for the time period; identifying, based on user input data, a benchmark value for the metric of interest for the time period; and providing, for display on a user interface of a user device, the actual value for the metric of interest and the benchmark value for the metric of interest.

  • Publication number: 20140031262
    Abstract: An interface is provided for storing microfluidic samples in a nanoliter sample chip. A fluid access structure provides a fluid access region to a selected subset of sample wells from an array of sample wells. A fluid introduction mechanism introduces a sample fluid to the fluid access region so that the sample wells in the selected subset are populated with the sample fluid without the unselected sample wells being populated with the sample fluid.
