  • Patent number: 12222275
    Abstract: A method and system for deriving particle characteristics is described. The method comprises imaging the movement of at least one free-floating particle in a liquid environment at at least one moment in time, determining for at least one moment in time a movement parameter based on the imaged movement of the free-floating particles in the liquid environment, and deriving from the movement parameter a characteristic of the at least one particle.

  • Publication number: 20250012895
    Abstract: A system includes at least two photovoltaic modules each comprising a respective module area being substantially perpendicular to the thickness of the corresponding photovoltaic module. Each of the at least two module areas comprises at least one of two first sides being substantially perpendicular to the thickness of the corresponding photovoltaic module and/or two second sides being substantially perpendicular to the thickness of the corresponding photovoltaic module. In this context, the at least two module areas are arranged in a substantially parallel manner with respect to each other and are shifted with respect to each other in an extension direction of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240404273
    Abstract: A method is provided for indoor multipath ghosts recognition for a multiple-input-multiple-output radar with collocated antennas. The method includes the step of generating a two-dimensional Range-Doppler map for N number of consecutive radar data frames. The method further includes the step of applying a temporal clustering algorithm to the N number of consecutive radar data frames. Moreover, the method includes the step of applying a linear pattern extraction algorithm on the two-dimensional Range-Doppler map. In this context, the two-dimensional Range-Doppler map comprises detections from at least one target, at least one first-order ghost, and at least one second-order ghost with respect to one wall reflector.
