Abstract: A testing system of a radar sensor for an active environment sensing system includes: a first target simulator, comprising: a first electronic control unit; a first receive antenna, connected to the first electronic control unit, for receiving a radar sensor signal; and a first transmit antenna, connected to the first electronic control unit, for emitting a first radar echo generated by the first electronic control unit; and a second target simulator, comprising: a second electronic control unit; a second receive antenna, connected to the second electronic control unit, for receiving a radar sensor signal; and a second transmit antenna, connected to the second electronic control unit, for emitting a second radar echo generated by the second electronic control unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for account data association with voice interface devices are disclosed. For example, when a host user/primary user and guest user have consented for account data to be associated with the primary user's devices, a request to associate the account data may be received. Voice and device-based authentication may be performed to confirm the identity of the guest user and the guest user's account data may be associated with the primary user's devices. During a guest session, voice recognition may be utilized to determine if a given user utterance is from the guest user or the primary user, and actions may be performed by the voice interface device accordingly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ink output in ink jet printing systems. A refractometer is used to control the concentration of inks used in continuous ink jet printers. A concentration detector measures the total amount of light reflected from a surface. Changes in the ink cause a definite change in sensor output. As the refractive index is changed, shifting the critical angle for internal reflection, more or less light is reflected to the sensor. The index of refraction can be determined from the sensor once corrections are made to account for temperature dependencies of the sensor and light source and baseline measurement of reflected light amplitude. These dependencies are carried out in the refractometer.
