  • Publication number: 20230109609
    Abstract: A system and method of automated logistical vehicle registration and validation for remote monitoring. Cameras are deployed at the gate to a trucking logistics facility to record detailed information (e.g., license plate, identification info) on vehicles. Alternatively, vehicle and drive identification credentials can be provided by a mobile application from the driver. The cameras are connected to a data center hosting the automated logistical vehicle registration and validation system. Cameras are placed around the entry gate of a facility that takes snapshots of vehicles “checking in”. The system takes this info with assistance from artificial algorithms to read data and images (e.g., photos) to compare and verify the info. Recommendations are then sent to a guard to approve entry of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230084649
    Abstract: Optimal determination of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sounding method and system may be provided. An Access Point (AP) selects a subchannel for the partial sounding. The AP then sounds the selected subchannel. A client station responds with Channel State Information (CSI). The AP can receive the CSI, from the client station, in response to the sounding. Based on the CSI from the selected subchannel, the AP extrapolates the CSI to determine predicted CSI for a wider bandwidth channel.

  • Patent number: 11575413
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to shield transmissions from being received and the information contained in them recovered by unwanted devices. Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) techniques are employed, and in particular the spatial dimension aspects of those techniques. Shield nodes are controlled to transmit in a way to obscure the downlink streams transmitted by a wireless access point that are intended for a particular client device to anything outside of the shielded area, and also to obscure uplink streams from one or more client devices to the wireless access point to anything outside of the shielded area but allowing the uplink streams to be well received by the wireless access point.
