  • Publication number: 20230393256
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to techniques for implementing radar waveform diversity. A technique may involve a radar unit transmitting radar signals into an environment of a vehicle based on a code sequence that indicates a ramp direction and a phase shift for each pulse in a pulse used by the radar unit and receiving radar reflections from the environment. In some instances, the radar unit may leverage antennas in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) arrangement to further add diversity to transmissions according to spatial code in the code sequence. The technique can further involve using a demodulator to map the environment based on the radar reflections and controlling the vehicle based on the mapping. In some instances, the code sequence is received from a system that is wirelessly providing orthogonal code sequences to multiple emitters.

  • Patent number: 10484927
    Abstract: A device is disclosed that includes software components for executing actions and for controlling the device in order to conform to specified policies. The device includes a controller to deny or permit execution of actions. The controller monitors and interrupts execution of device's actions in order to determine whether an action violates a policy, policy rules, or if the action is prohibited by a policy. The controller also manages policies defined for the device. Each policy is translated into a language understandable by the controller and stored on the device. Each policy can be updated or changed dynamically. Additionally, each policy can securely be updated or changed remotely.

  • Patent number: 9900782
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) in a wireless network are provided. A DSA-enabled device may sense spectrum use in a region and, based on the detected spectrum use, select one or more communication channels for use. The devices also may detect one or more other DSA-enabled devices with which they can form DSA networks. A DSA network may monitor spectrum use by cooperative and non-cooperative devices, to dynamically select one or more channels to use for communication while avoiding or reducing interference with other devices.

  • Patent number: 9672270
    Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code to cause a processor to receive, from a first electronic device via a first mode, a signal representing a first data set associated with a first communication at a first time. The code causes the processor to define a second data set associated with the communication in a second mode. The code causes the processor to send a signal representing the second data set to a second electronic device at a second time after the first time. The code causes the processor to receive, from the second electronic device via the second mode, a signal representing a third data set associated with a second communication, at a third time after the second time. The code causes the processor to send, to the second electronic device, a signal including an instruction to present, on a display, the second data set with the third data set.

  • Publication number: 20140074843
    Abstract: A collection module, an analysis module, and a report module are each operably coupled to a database. The collection module can receive data associated with a user and can send a signal indicative of an instruction to store the data associated with the user in the database. Based at least in part on a pattern analysis or a semantic analysis of the data associated with the user, the analysis module can analyze the data to define an aggregated data set representing one or more relationship attributes in the data associated with the user. The analysis module can send a signal indicative of an instruction to store the aggregated data set in the database. The report module can define a report representing the aggregated data set and can send a signal indicative of an instruction to present data associated with the report on a display of an electronic device.
