  • Patent number: 11536826
    Abstract: A tracking device is configured to estimate a track for at least one possible target and is configured to receive incoming measurements and to process measurements and tracks. The tracking device includes a storage and a computational device. The tracking device is also configured to divide all measurements into a set of considered measurements and a set of unconsidered measurements for each passive track.

  • Patent number: 11214467
    Abstract: A lifting system for lifting a separate pallet with a heavy load is disclosed, the lifting system including two or more carrier elements and a suspension device in the form of a chain sling or a strap sling with double as many fastening ends as the number of carrier elements, wherein each of the carrier elements includes a stiff supporting beam and a distance element and is arranged so that two of the fastening ends of the suspension device can be fastened to the supporting beam in opposite ends thereof, and wherein the distance element is dimensioned and mounted onto the supporting beam in such a way that it prevents displacement of the carrier element relative to a pallet in the longitudinal direction thereof, when the carrier element is mounted transversely through the pallet. Furthermore, a carrier element for such a lifting system is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10802131
    Abstract: A tracking device estimates a track for at least one possible target and is configured to receive incoming measurements and process measurements and tracks. The device has a storage device and a computational device and an association module to calculate an association between a measurement and a track. The device further has an output module to output a sequence of track updates from an assignment module maintaining a set of active tracks using the association module as a function of active tracks and the incoming measurements to calculate associations, containing possible track updates and deciding which track updates to keep in the active tracks set and which to add to a passive tracks set. Computations on the passive tracks may be deferred until at least one passive track handling criterion is fulfilled. The computational device may activate and transfer a passive track from the passive set to the active set.

  • Patent number: 9864051
    Abstract: A method of estimating a local plot density in a radar system observing an observation volume, the radar system configured to generate plots with plot attributes, by establishing a non-empty set of M-dimensional basis functions and corresponding coefficients, and repeatedly updating at least one coefficient based on at least one plot as obtained from the radar system, adjusting the basis functions and corresponding coefficients to represent a number of plots in a predetermined adjusting interval, and estimating the local plot density at a given point in the observation volume.

  • Publication number: 20070090671
    Abstract: A method of regulating the weight of a chair comprising a base frame (2) to support a seat face as well as a spring system (3) having adjustment means (20, 21), wherein the resilience of the chair is adjusted by unloaded adjustment means, and the adjustment is performed by moving one or more of the adjustment means (20, 21) at a time along a portion of the circumference of the base frame (2), and wherein the adjustment means adjusted first performs a coarse adjustment, following which a fine adjustment is performed with a second adjustment means.
