Patent number: 11187783Abstract: Embodiments of a method and a device are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for operating a radar system is disclosed. The method involves generating a chirp signal having a repeating pattern of chirps, each chirp in the repeating pattern of chirps having a base frequency and a chirp bandwidth, wherein the repeating pattern of chirps includes at least two chirps that differ from each other in at least one of base frequency and chirp bandwidth, transmitting a radar signal according to the chirp signal, receiving radio frequency energy that includes a reflected portion of the radar signal, and selecting for processing from the received radio frequency energy a signal that matches the repeating pattern of chirps of the chirp signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Michael Johannes Doescher, Abdellatif Zanati, Cicero Silveira Vaucher

Patent number: 10853485Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses of intrusion detection for integrated circuits. An example apparatus can include a wired communications bus configured and arranged to carry data and a plurality of integrated circuits. The plurality of integrated circuits can include a first integrated circuit configured and arranged to operate in a scan mode during which the first integrated circuit performs a scan test to detect one or more faults in circuitry of the plurality of integrated circuits. The plurality of integrated circuits can further include a second integrated circuit configured and arranged to operate in a mission mode and supervise data traffic by monitoring communications including data patterns and accesses on the wired communications bus. In response to identifying a suspected illegitimate access, the second integrated circuit can perform a security action to mitigate a suspect illegitimate action in the plurality of integrated circuits.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Jan-Peter Schat, Michael Johannes Döscher

Publication number: 20200031312Abstract: A method includes generating a target map indicative of objects around the vehicle using sensor data from sensor circuitry of the vehicle, the sensor circuitry including at least one radar sensor; and determining, by processing circuitry, if the vehicle is being towed away. Determining if the vehicle is being towed away can include comparing the target map to a previously obtained target map, determining if the vehicle is moving based on the comparison, and in response to determining the vehicle is moving, outputting an alarm message indicative of the vehicle being towed away.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Jan-Peter Schat, Michael Johannes Döscher, Abdellatif Zanati

Patent number: 10272927Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to receive first sensor data from a sensor system of the first entity and a receiver. The receiver is configured to receive second sensor data from a second entity in the vehicle to vehicle network over a communication network and provide the second sensor data to the processor. The second sensor data comprises a first type of sensor data having a first bandwidth requirement. The processor is further configured to determine an available bandwidth of the communication system; and when the first bandwidth requirement exceeds the communication bandwidth, select a second type of sensor data having a second bandwidth requirement. The second bandwidth requirement is less than the first bandwidth requirement. The processor is further configured to process the first and second sensor data to at least partially determine an environment surrounding the first entity.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Holger Mahnke, Abdellatif Zanati, Michael Johannes Doescher

Patent number: 10222449Abstract: An RFID tag is attached to or embedded in an object and used for determining the position of the object. The RFID tag includes a controller and an energy harvester coupled to the controller. The controller provides object position information to a host device by sending ping signals to the host device. The energy harvester harvests RF energy from WLANs, converts the RF energy to DC power, and supplies the DC power to the RFID tag.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Michael Johannes Doescher, Christine Marie Michele Calmels
