  • Publication number: 20250102653
    Abstract: A method for fusion of classification results of a plurality of classification models to classify environment objects using ultrasonic sensor devices in a mobile device. The method includes: detecting sensor signals of ultrasonic transducers of the ultrasonic sensor devices; tracking a position of detected environment objects by the ultrasonic sensor devices and classifying an object type of the detected environment objects by one of classification models associated with each of the ultrasonic sensor devices to obtain a classification result; in the event that it is determined that a specific environment object has entered a detection region of one of the ultrasonic sensor devices and was previously located in a detection region of a further of the ultrasonic sensor devices, selecting one of the classification results for the specific environment object depending on a classification quality based on the classification model and depending on the newness of the classification result.

  • Patent number: 12155664
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product relating to an application server operable to manage a microservice-based application, i.e. app, on behalf of clients, the clients being available for use by system actors who may be, for example, end users, bots, developers or other apps. A permissions validator is used to compute effective permissions in response to client requests. The requests are granted or denied conditional on the effective permissions being at least a subset of the permissions required to be given by any of the app's microservices that are needed for the resource being requested. The effective permissions are computed from an intersection of a set of actor permissions, a set of client permissions and a set of resource permissions.

  • Publication number: 20240385290
    Abstract: A test arrangement for testing a surroundings sensor. The test arrangement includes a receptacle for the surroundings sensor, which is configured to emit a surroundings signal. A first object simulator is configured to receive the surroundings signal as a first receive signal. A second object simulator is configured to receive the surroundings signal as a second receive signal. A processor is configured to ascertain a signal difference, in particular, a phase difference and/or a frequency difference, from the first and second receive signals, and to ascertain, as a function of the signal difference, a spatial relationship between the surroundings sensor, the first object simulator, and/or the second object simulator.

  • Publication number: 20240159898
    Abstract: A method for operating at least one ultrasonic sensor array, in particular, using a control unit. The ultrasonic sensor array is driven to generate sonic echos. Reflected sonic echos are received by the ultrasonic sensor array, in order to generate measurement data on the basis of the received sonic echos. The ultrasonic sensor array is driven to generate and receive sonic echos in such a manner, that a horizontal and/or vertical solid angle of a detecting range is changed. A control unit, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.

  • Patent number: 11934998
    Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of products by means of active radio tags. According to the invention, packagings of products are provided with an active radio tag that detects at least one environmental condition and/or at least one packaging state, and which emits a signal at time intervals, which provides information about a unique identifier and at least one state in which the respective product is found. The signal is picked up by a receiver that extracts the unique identifier and the state information and transmits same together with location information to an external server.

  • Patent number: 11852722
    Abstract: A method for evaluating an height of an object in the surrounding environment of a vehicle, using ultrasonic signals acquired by an ultrasonic sensor mounted on the vehicle. In a measurement cycle, a first ultrasonic signal is acquired as an edge reflection or as a directly traveling echo of an object. An expectation window is calculated for an associated interior-corner reflection. A second ultrasonic signal acquired in the expectation window is recognized as an interior-corner reflection associated with the first ultrasonic signal. The first and second ultrasonic signals are combined to form a signal group. A significance is determined for each ultrasonic signal. The signal group is assigned to a first or second echo group. The rates of the assignment to the first and to the second echo group are determined over a number of measurement cycles. An evaluation of the height is based on the first and second rates.
